  "account": "Olorogun John Oguma, a key figure within the All Progressives Congress in Delta State, has called upon Deltans from all political backgrounds to back Governor Sheriff Oborevwori's re-election campaign slated for 2027. Oguma, speaking to journalists on Sunday, highlighted Oborevwori's accomplishments in office, asserting that his MORE Agenda has spurred development across the state, touching every corner from Asaba to the riverine communities. Referring to Oborevwori's promises of progress, Oguma lauded the governor's commitment to delivering on his pledges, stating, \"Oborevwori is a man of his word. He promised MORE and he is giving us MORE.\" The chieftain pointed to advancements in healthcare as a testament to the governor's dedication, noting the introduction of magnetic resonance imaging machines in Asaba, Warri, and Oghara, as well as the expansion of computed tomography scans, radiology laboratories, and dialysis machines. Furthermore, Oguma detailed the state's acquisition of a $400,000 grant from the Gates Foundation and the enrollment of over three million residents in the state's health insurance scheme. In terms of infrastructure, he spotlighted ongoing and completed projects, including flyovers in Effurun and Warri, the Orere Bridge project, and the dualization of the Ughelli-Asaba road, among others, which Oguma argues have transformed the state's landscape. Describing Oborevwori as a fair and accessible leader who transcends ethnic and political divisions, Oguma emphasized the governor's humility, accessibility, and strong religious values. He urged Deltans to maintain continuity in governance, urging them to support Oborevwori's re-election to ensure the state's continued progress rather than risking setbacks. \"In 2027, we will not experiment. We will not go backward. We need continuity. We need Sheriff Oborevwori to finish what he started,\" Oguma implored, urging eligible voters to secure their Permanent Voter Cards and rally support for the governor in anticipation of the upcoming election.",
