Delta State women, under the umbrella of Unique Ladies for Sheriff (ULF), on Wednesday, endorsed the re-election bid of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Governor Sheriff Oborevwori as sole candidates for the 2027 elections, declaring that there is “No vacancy” in Aso Rock and Government House, Asaba.
President Tinubu and Governor Oborevwori will be seeking a second term in office, and the women, with large followership at the grassroots, have declared their total support to return the duo to office unopposed.
The declaration was made during a colourful event at the Cenotaph, Asaba, with women representatives from all 25 local government areas of Delta State in attendance.
Speaking at the event, the National Coordinator of Unique Ladies for Sheriff, Dame Nkem Patience Okwuofu, in her keynote address themed, ‘Touching the Grassroots,’ said the gathering marked a defining moment for Delta women to reaffirm their support for Governor Oborevwori’s leadership and the MORE Agenda.
