The Forum of Political Leaders of Itsekiri Extraction within the All Progressives Congress has endorsed President Bola Tinubu and Governor Sheriff Oborevwori as the sole candidates for the 2027 general elections.
The group recently revealed that the 2027 general election will not be a difficult process for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress in the region.
Speaking in Warri shortly after a group unity meeting in Delta State, the convener of the group, Chief AyirimiEmami disclosed that the unity meeting ended well because they are one family.
According to him, it was a thing of joy to see everyone gather as a political family to deliberate on the future of the group and their preferred leaders to take the country forward.
“Since the past eleven years or thereabout, we haven’t got the opportunity of coming together like this, eyeball to eyeball, under the same political platform as it affects our ethnic nationality.
It is a thing of joy that everyone in this Federal Constituency is now within the same APC as a political family. Today, we are all together.
This simply guarantees that by the grace of God, the next election will be an easy sailing for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and APC in the Federal Constituency,” he said.
He further noted that both Bola Tinubu and Oborevwori will get all the necessary support from the Itsekiris, stressing that while politics used to divide the region in the past, it is now a source of unity.
AyirimiEmami concluded by saying that the president and governor have both done well with the Renewed Hope agenda thus far; therefore, they deserve second terms in office.
“We will give all necessary support to our President and our Governor. Politics used to be one of the things pulling us apart before. But Itsekiri is coming up stronger and stronger
President Tinubu and Governor Oborevwori of Delta have been performing well with his Renewed Hope agenda since the past two years and deserve a second term in office to fully execute their programnes,” he added.
