APC Convention: Oborevwori Highlights Governance Gains And Fiscal Stability Under Tinubu

By Fred Latimore Oghenesivbe Esq

Nigeria’s evolving multi-party democracy took centre stage in Abuja on Friday, as the All Progressives Congress (APC) held its National Elective Convention at Eagle Square, an event that combined political theatre with strategic consolidation of power.

Against a backdrop of party loyalists, 31 state governors, federal leaders and 8,453 party delegates, the gathering underscored the APC’s growing dominance and raised fresh questions about the grossly ineffective opposition politics in the country. It's crystal clear that opposition parties cannot and will not be able to present a counterweight with the unarguable political dominance of the APC.

At the heart of the narrative was Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, whose defection to the ruling party in April 2025 has become emblematic of a broader realignment within Nigeria’s political landscape.

Addressing journalists on the sidelines of the convention, Oborevwori framed his move not merely as political reinforcement, but as a calculated step toward strengthening governance through federal alignment. His message was clear: proximity to the centre of power matters in a federal system where resources, influence, and policy direction are often shaped at the national level.

“The decision to join APC was about connecting Delta State to the centre, and that connection is already yielding results,” he said, pointing to improved fiscal inflows and enhanced capacity to deliver on governance priorities.

For Delta State, Oborevwori highlighted tangible gains such as improved infrastructure development, more consistent salary payments, and renewed contractor confidence driven by better fiscal discipline. Roads, healthcare systems, and educational institutions are receiving increased attention, reflecting what the governor described as “a government that is now able to effectively plan and execute with clarity.”

The convention itself carried deeper political symbolism. In a multi-party democracy where competition is expected to foster accountability, the sheer scale of APC’s influence, now boasting 31 governors, signals an era of unprecedented political sagacity, national unity and enhanced participatory democracy.

For supporters of the APC, this massive political strength represents stability and policy coherence; for critics, it raises concerns about the uncertainty of opposition forces and the tendency of diminished voices and staggering political plurality. However, Nigeria remains a multi party system with over 21 registered political parties.

Oborevwori, however, cast the development as a vote of confidence in the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, whom he described as “focused and bold” in navigating complex economic reforms. Indeed, much of the convention’s undertone revolved around the reform agenda of the Tinubu administration.

While acknowledging the economic strain experienced by citizens, APC leaders framed current hardships as the inevitable cost of structural correction. Within that context, state governments now benefiting from increased allocations, and repositioned as engines of delivery.

Beyond infrastructure, governor Oborevwori pointed to improved security in oil-producing areas, a development with both economic and political implications. Stability in the Niger Delta not only boosts national revenue but also reinforces the narrative of effective governance under President Tinubu's leadership.

For APC stakeholders, the convention was more than a routine party exercise, it was a demonstration of unity, momentum, and strategic depth. For the opposition, it served as a stark reminder of the challenges ahead in presenting a credible counterweight.

As the political dust settles, one thing remains evident: the intersection of governance performance and political alignment will continue to shape Nigeria’s democratic experience.

And for leaders like governor Oborevwori, the message from Abuja is unmistakable; power, when aligned, is not just political capital, but a pathway to accelerated development.

The Gains Of APC’s South-South Congress And The Road To 2027

By Fred Latimore Oghenesivbe, Esq.

In a carefully choreographed display of unity and political intent, the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Nigeria’s South-South geopolitical zone has redrawn its internal map, electing a new Zonal Executive Committee, positioning the region as a national political powerhouse, and reinforcing its relevance in national electoral politics.

The congress, held in Asaba, was less a contest of ballots and more a performance of consensus. With governors, lawmakers, and party heavyweights in attendance, the process unfolded with striking unanimity, motions were moved, seconded, and adopted without resistance, dissolving the old order and ushering in new leadership in one seamless, purposeful, and peaceful political gathering.

At the center of this recalibration is Chief Victor Giadom, who retains his seat as National Vice Chairman (South-South), flanked by a team tasked with deepening the party’s roots in a region long considered pivotal to national politics, given its undeniable economic importance as Nigeria’s largest crude oil-producing zone.

Yet beneath the smooth surface of consensus lies a deeper calculation. This became evident when Senate President Godswill Akpabio addressed the gathering, conveying the goodwill of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. He framed the South-South not as a recovering outpost of APC influence, but as a potential electoral powerhouse in Nigeria’s political chessboard.

His challenge was direct, emphasizing the urgent need to transform the region into the ruling party’s highest vote-yielding zone by 2027. For a region that once stood at arm’s length from APC dominance, that ambition borders on audacious. Yet, the political class appears aligned. Governors across party lines and internal factions echoed a shared refrain, focusing on unity, consolidation, and alignment with the center.

Delta State Governor, Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori, cast the congress as proof of organizational strength, while Bayelsa’s Douye Diri went further, declaring that the South-South was, perhaps for the first time in recent memory, “speaking with one voice.”
That claim, while aspirational, reflects a strategic shift away from internal factionalization toward collective bargaining power, presenting a united front capable of negotiating relevance within national power equations.

Other governors, including Umo Eno, Bassey Otu, Monday Okpebholo, and Siminalayi Fubara, reinforced this message, underscoring the strategic benefits of aligning regional politics with federal authority. Consensus, in this context, is more than a procedural choice, it is a deliberate political strategy.

By eliminating the friction of contested elections within the party, APC leaders in the South-South are projecting stability, discipline, and readiness for the larger electoral contest ahead. It is hoped that this engineered unity will withstand the pressures of real electoral competition, while grassroots mobilization strengthens to match the confidence expressed on the congress floor.

More critically, the APC must convert elite consensus into mass voter loyalty in a region historically central to Nigeria’s electoral dynamics. For now, the optics are clear: a region once fragmented is closing ranks. The message to opponents is unmistakable, the APC South-South is positioning itself for a decisive outing in 2027.

The battle has already begun, and the South-South intends to matter, as attention now shifts to the party’s National Convention scheduled for March 27 and 28 in Abuja.

Brigade Commander, Shonibare commends Oborevwori's bold push for Delta Youth Enlistment into Military

In a strong show of confidence in Delta State’s youth development drive, the 63 Brigade Commander of the Nigerian Army in Asaba, Brigadier General Folu Shonibare, has applauded Governor Sheriff Oborevwori for what he described as a “deliberate and impactful” strategy to channel young people into military and paramilitary careers.

Speaking on Tuesday while receiving members of the State Awareness Creation Committee on Youth Enlistment into Military and Paramilitary Services, Shonibare declared that Delta State is now firmly on track to meet and potentially exceed its recruitment quota.

According to the Brigade Commander, the transformation did not happen by chance. He credited the governor’s foresight in setting up a dedicated committee to drive enlistment campaigns, a move he said has dramatically increased youth participation in military service.

“Since the inauguration of this committee, we have seen a remarkable shift,” Shonibare noted. “Delta youths are stepping forward with renewed confidence and purpose. The state is no longer struggling to meet its quota, it is rising to the occasion.”

He further described Governor Oborevwori as a leader deeply invested in the future of young people, emphasizing that his administration’s policies reflect a clear commitment to job creation, discipline, and national service.

The visit was not merely ceremonial, it underscored a growing partnership between the military and the state government. Shonibare assured the committee of continued collaboration, urging them to sustain the momentum and expand their outreach.

“We are ready to support this initiative at every level. The more young people we bring into military service, the stronger both the state and the nation become," the Brigade Commander said.

Earlier, the Committee Chairman and Commissioner for Youth Development, Barrister ThankGod Trakiriowei, expressed gratitude to the Brigade for its consistent support, describing the relationship as pivotal to the committee’s success.

He revealed that the Committee inaugurated nearly two years ago, has evolved into a powerful vehicle for youth empowerment, opening doors to stable careers and national service for thousands of young Deltans.

Adding depth to the conversation, the Director General of the Delta State Bureau for Orientation and Communications, Dr Fred Latimore Oghenesivbe, highlighted the committee’s aggressive media strategy.

He disclosed that through radio, television campaigns, weekly talk shows, and grassroots sensitization, the message has reached communities across the state, igniting interest and reshaping perceptions about military careers.

The Bureau Director General called for deeper synergy between the Committee and the Brigade’s public relations unit to further amplify awareness and inspire even more youths to enlist.

"Delta State is not just preparing its youth for jobs, it is shaping a generation for service, discipline, and national pride in line with the MORE Agenda of the governor, Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori," Oghenesivbe said.

Also speaking, the Permanent Secretary of the Directorate of Political and Security Services, Mr Theophilus Chuks Aguonye, acknowledged existing challenges in recruitment processes but stressed that the state government has provided the necessary funding and structural support to overcome them.

He said the committee is partnering the state chapter of ALGON, Traditional Rulers, Faith based organisations and other stakeholders to ensure that youth are mobilized to enlist into the military and Paramilitary Services, adding that in the last recruitment exercise, the committee provided free transportation for shortlisted candidates across the three senatorial districts, for the physical screening exercise held at the cenotaph in Asaba.

“Our goal is clear. We are determined to ensure Delta State consistently fills its quota in military and paramilitary recruitment exercises. The foundation has been laid, now we must build on it," Aguonye said.

In attendance were; the Committee Chairman and Honourable Commissioner for Youth Development, Barrister ThankGod Trakiriowei, Director General of Delta State Bureau for Orientation and Communications, Dr Fred Latimore Oghenesivbe Esq, Permanent Secretary, Directorate of Political and Security Services, Mr Chukks Aguonye.

Others are; Committee Secretary, Chief Alfred Origbo, Representative of Delta Christian Community, Rev Cyril Okonye, State Chairman of the National Youth Council, Comrade Sagboje Odiri Milton and Mr Emmanuel Egodo, Chief Administrative Officer, Directorate of Political and Security Services.

Renewed Hope Ambassadors Rally South-South Base Ahead of 2027

By Fred Latimore Oghenesivbe, Esq.

In a strategic push to consolidate support ahead of the 2027 general elections, leaders of Nigeria’s ruling party gathered in Asaba with a clear message: unify the narrative, deepen grassroots engagement, and translate reforms into tangible public understanding.

At the South-South Strategic Communications and Mobilisation Summit themed “One Party, One Message, One Mobilisation,” key political figures stressed that the success of ongoing national reforms hinges not just on policy outcomes, but on how effectively those policies are communicated to everyday Nigerians.

Leading the charge were Hope Uzodimma, Governor of Imo State and Director-General of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors, Sheriff Oborevwori, Governor of Delta State, and Senator Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa, South-South Coordinator of Renewed Hope Ambassadors, who collectively called for cohesion in both messaging and mobilisation across the country.

Uzodimma framed the summit as more than a political gathering; it was, he said, a tactical effort to close the gap between government performance and public perception. While pointing to improvements in macroeconomic indicators such as GDP growth, increased oil production, and enhanced revenue allocation, Uzodimma acknowledged that many Nigerians have yet to feel these gains at the grassroots level.

“You are the interpreters of government vision,” he told participants. “You must go where the President cannot reach and explain reforms in ways people understand.”

He described the summit’s outcome as a detailed national work plan with timelines and deliverables, and as the “compass and spine” for Renewed Hope Ambassadors nationwide.

Speakers highlighted several policy achievements under the current administration, including the signing into law of a new ₦70,000 minimum wage, the revitalisation of over 1,000 primary healthcare centres, and the introduction of free Caesarean section services in public health facilities.

On governance, anti-corruption efforts were underscored, with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission recording over 4,000 convictions and recovering hundreds of billions of naira in 2024. Improvements in security, particularly reductions in crude oil theft, were also cited as indicators of progress.

Yet, speakers admitted that reforms such as subsidy removal and exchange rate adjustments have imposed short-term hardships, reinforcing the need for clearer and more empathetic communication with citizens. A central pillar of the mobilisation effort is the “Renewed Hope Ward Development Programme,” designed to reach 1,000 citizens in every ward nationwide.

The initiative aims to accelerate development while building direct connections between government policies and local communities. Former Delta State Governor Ifeanyi Okowa emphasised that communication gaps have limited public appreciation of government achievements. He urged ambassadors to engage citizens directly in markets, communities, and institutions, using relatable examples and verifiable data.

For Oborevwori, unity is not merely rhetoric but a political necessity. He warned that fragmented messaging could weaken the party’s influence and open doors for opposition gains.

“Unity must be matched with action. We must take the message to the people, defend our reforms, and mobilise effectively,” he said.

Echoing this sentiment, South-West Coordinator of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors and Chairman of the Summit, Adedayo Adeyeye described the South-South as Nigeria’s economic backbone and a critical region in shaping electoral outcomes. He expressed confidence that growing alignment with the ruling party signals broader acceptance of its policies.

The summit also spotlighted upcoming policy directions, including a proposed ₦58.47 trillion 2026 budget prioritising security, infrastructure, education, and health. New tax reforms are expected to streamline taxation and ease the burden on small businesses. Longer-term ambitions were outlined in the Renewed Hope Development Plan (2026–2030), endorsed by the National Economic Council, which targets transforming Nigeria into a $1 trillion economy.

With notable personalities in attendance, including Governor Mai Mala Buni of You be State, and other national and regional stakeholders, the summit emphasized unified call for discipline, consistency, and sustained engagement.

The message was clear: electoral success in 2027 will depend not only on policy achievements but also on the party’s ability to connect those achievements to the lived experiences of Nigerians.

As the APC intensifies its grassroots strategy, the Renewed Hope Ambassadors are charged with the responsibility of converting policy into perception, and perception into votes.

Oborevwori Positions Delta to Attract Foreign Direct Investment, Boost Power Distribution

By Fred Latimore Oghenesivbe Esq

Delta State is steadily redefining its economic narrative, transitioning from a solely resource-dependent region to an emerging hub for foreign direct investment (FDI). At the center of this transformation is Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, whose administration is aggressively tackling the structural barriers that have historically discouraged international capital inflows.

With bold electricity reforms, strengthened security, and investor-focused policies, Delta State is positioning itself as Nigeria’s next major destination for foreign direct investment. Backed by policy reforms, infrastructure expansion, and institutional strengthening, the state is aligning itself with global investment benchmarks, creating a more predictable and competitive business environment.

For decades, unreliable electricity has been one of the biggest deterrents to investment in Nigeria. Delta State is confronting this challenge head-on. The Oborevwori administration has rolled out a multi-layered electricity strategy that includes the extension of 33KV transmission lines, installation of transformers, and rehabilitation of long-neglected infrastructure across the state.

“We are taking deliberate and practical steps to address power supply challenges across Delta State,” Governor Oborevwori stated during the inauguration of the Ohoror–Bomadi Road project. Recent interventions have already delivered measurable outcomes. Over 10 communities reconnected to the national grid after more than a decade in darkness. Six new distribution transformers installed in Warri South-West communities, upgrade of a 2.5MVA transformer to 5MVA capacity at Agbarha-Otor and
rehabilitation of key transmission lines, including Ogbe-Ogume to Kwale.

The enactment of the Delta State Electricity Law and approval of a comprehensive electricity policy signal a shift toward long-term sector stability, an essential requirement for industrial investors. Political stability and clear policy direction remain critical drivers of investment decisions. Under Oborevwori’s MORE Agenda, Delta State is strengthening governance frameworks to ensure consistency and transparency. By aligning with federal economic reforms led by Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the state is benefiting from broader fiscal and energy sector liberalization policies.

Communities such as Ode-Itsekiri, Orugbo, and Ugbodede are already witnessing improved electricity access, while major upgrades in Ndokwa and Kwale are restoring industrial viability in those regions. The enactment of the Delta State Electricity Law and approval of a comprehensive electricity policy mark a structural shift, moving from temporary fixes to a sustainable, investor-friendly power sector. The engagement of a specialized electricity consulting firm further signals a data-driven approach to long-term energy planning. For investors, these developments directly reduce operational costs, improve productivity, and enhance supply chain efficiency.

“With these policy instruments in place, we are better positioned to drive sustainable improvements in electricity supply,” the governor affirmed. Such assurances are vital for multinational corporations seeking environments with low policy volatility and strong regulatory backing. Infrastructure development is another critical pillar of Delta’s investment strategy. The rehabilitation of the 31-kilometre Ohoror–Bomadi Road is a prime example of how improved connectivity is opening up previously inaccessible economic zones.

Better roads, combined with improved electricity access, are reducing logistics and transportation costs, enhancing supply chain efficiency, expanding access to rural and semi-urban markets. For investors, this translates into improved ease of doing business and higher returns on investment.

Delta State’s strategic location in Nigeria’s oil-rich region provides a unique advantage. With Nigeria’s population exceeding 200 million, the state offers access to a vast and growing consumer market. Improved electricity supply is already stimulating small and medium-scale enterprise (SME) growth, increased commercial activity in local communities, expansion of agro-processing and light manufacturing sectors.

These developments strengthen Delta’s position as both a production base and a consumption market, two critical factors for foreign investors. Security concerns have long been a major consideration for investors. The Delta State Government is taking decisive steps to address this through approval for new police divisions across local government areas, establishment of a Special Protection Unit base and Strengthening land administration systems.
These measures are designed to protect investments, reduce operational risks, and improve overall investor confidence.

Delta State also offers a youthful and dynamic workforce. With ongoing improvements in infrastructure and economic activity, labor productivity is on the rise.
Access to affordable and increasingly skilled labor provides a competitive edge for industries such as manufacturing, agriculture, and services, key sectors targeted for foreign investment.

Economic analysts note that sub-national reforms like those in Delta State are becoming increasingly important in attracting FDI to Nigeria. According to insights aligned with global financial institutions such as the International Monetary Fund, investors typically prioritizes stable governance systems, reliable infrastructure, clear regulatory frameworks, and strong institutional quality.
Delta State’s current trajectory reflects growing alignment with these global investment criteria.

While challenges remain, the progress recorded so far underscores a clear shift in Delta State’s economic direction. The combination of electricity reform, infrastructure development, and governance stability is creating a strong foundation for sustained investment inflows. Governor Oborevwori’s administration appears focused on long-term impact rather than short-term fixes, an approach that resonates strongly with international investors.

Delta State is no longer just a region of untapped potential, it is fast becoming a destination of strategic opportunity. By addressing the core determinants that influence foreign investment, the state is positioning itself as a competitive player in the global investment landscape. If sustained, these reforms could transform Delta into one of Nigeria’s leading investment hubs where policy meets performance, and potential translates into prosperity.
