Governor Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta State has said that Christians and Igbo made Peter Obi win the 2023 presidential election in his state.

Speaking during an interview on Arise Television on Tuesday, Oborevwori stated that such will not repeat itself again in 2027.

According to him, his administration has strengthened relationship with the Christian and Igbo communities in the state, adding that they have promised to support the All Progressives Congress.

He said: “First and foremost, the Igbo community in Delta State that did that in 2023 they never did it during my election, and we are on the same page.

“I’ve told them vote party this time. They will not vote candidates, they will vote party because of the love they have for me.I have that confidence they will vote the APC.

“There are two factors that happen the other time, the Christian community and the Igbo, the non indigenous, but I’ve been able to manage them. The Igbo and I are working together for the interest of the state.

“I also believe that what happened that time would not happen again.
This is because the religious leaders, before I move into the APC, we notified them for them to pray for us. So you cannot pray and curse. They have prayed.

“So when the time come for election, I will still go back to them, say, “fathers of faith, when I moved the other time, you prayed for us. So for us to succeed, pray again for us to be victorious. So that’s the thing.”
