2027: Oginibo Community Reaffirms Support for Tinubu, Oborevwori, Others ~ Truth Reporters

 

Leaders and stakeholders of Oginibo Community in Ughievwen Kingdom, Ughelli South Local Government Area of Delta State, have reaffirmed their support for the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori in the 2027 general elections.

The community also endorsed the return of other All Progressives Congress (APC) candidates, including Senator Ede Dafinone, representing Delta Central Senatorial District; the member representing Ughelli North/Ughelli South/Udu Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Francis Ejiroghene Waive; and the member representing Ughelli South Constituency in the Delta State House of Assembly, Hon. Festus Utuama.

The reaffirmation was contained in a communiqué issued by the community read by Mr Tisha Matthew ACA, Secretary General of the Oginibo Community, after a stakeholders’ meeting held at the Oginibo Town Square, where the community leadership also dismissed reports that it had withdrawn its support for the APC candidates.

The leaders attributed their decision to what they described as Governor Oborevwori’s inclusive governance and visible infrastructural development across Delta State under the MORE Agenda.

The motion for the reaffirmation was moved by the President-General of Oginibo Community, Mr. Israel Opheghe, and seconded by the councillor representing Ward 16 in the Ughelli South Legislative Arm, Hon. Mrs. Ejayeta Sunday.

When the motion was put to a voice vote by Sir Isaiah Kekeje, it received overwhelming endorsement from the stakeholders.

The meeting also provided an opportunity for the community to refute reports that it had withdrawn its political support for Tinubu, Oborevwori and other APC candidates following an alleged disagreement between two of its sons, Comrade Reuben Izeze and Mr. Temple Mudi.

Displaying placards of various inscriptions, the community said, “Oborevwori’s Emergence 2027 Is Oginibo/Izeze’s Priority,” while another stated, “Oginibo Community Reaffirms Support for Oborevwori.” A third placard urged the public to “Ignore Fake Rumours” and reaffirmed “Oginibo Support for Oborevwori,” while the fourth declared, “Oginibo Community Supports the APC, Renewed Hope 4 MORE Agenda.”

Speaking at the meeting, former APC Chairman in Ughelli South, Sir Engr. Isaiah Kekeje, expressed appreciation to Governor Oborevwori for appointing Comrade Izeze Reuben as Commissioner for Works (Highways and Urban Roads).

Kekeje said the appointment had been justified, noting that Reuben had played a significant role in driving the governor’s infrastructure agenda and ensuring that road projects across the state met required standards of quality and durability.

He also commended the governor for ongoing road projects in Eyara and Imode communities in Ughievwen Kingdom, as well as other infrastructure projects across Ughelli South.

Other speakers, including the Oginibo Youth Leader, James Ejemeria; Otota Ewheya of Oginibo Community, Mrs. Helen Diajiyere; and Otota Emete of Oginibo Community, Madam Baby Krakra, praised the governor for what they described as his sustained infrastructure development drive in Ughelli South and other parts of Delta State.

The meeting ended with prayers by Pa Itila Otu, the oldest man present and a member of the Elders-in-Council, for President Tinubu, Governor Oborevwori, the other APC candidates and Comrade Reuben Izeze, whom the community leaders described as a worthy son.

Among those present at the meeting were Chief Okiemute Oviri Okwagbe, Hon. James Avwomakpa, Hon. Onokata Freeborn, Mr. Benjamin Omogosibo, Pastor Okoro Emoefe, Evangelist Lucky Chane, Elder Dan Pela, Sir Ezekiel Kekeje, Chief S. Z. Akporuru, Comrade Popor Augustine, Dr. Scott Emuobo Oghenekaro, Mr. Harry Sandys-Uwho, Mr. Amos Godwin, Madam Onajite Ukrakpor and Mr. Ogbefere Oghenero, among others.
