The Delta State Council of the National Youth Council of Nigeria, NYCN, the umbrella body of all youth organizations and the voice of Nigerian youths, has congratulated the Executive Governor of Delta State, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, on his well deserved emergence as the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress(APC), describing the development as a strong signal of continuity, stability, and sustained progress for the state.

Speaking at the State Collation Centre at the APC Secretariat in Asaba shortly after the announcement of results from the party’s direct primary election conducted across the 25 local government areas of the state, the NYCN Delta State Chairman, Comr. Sagboje Odiri Milton, said the outcome reflected the overwhelming confidence party members and supporters have in the governor’s leadership and administration.

According to him, results collated from the 25 LGAs showed that Governor Oborevwori secured all available votes cast during the direct primary election, a development he described as a clear endorsement of the governor’s performance and vision for Delta State.

Comr. Sagboje described the exercise as peaceful, transparent, credible, and well coordinated, commending party leaders, members of the electoral committee, and security agencies for ensuring a smooth and rancour-free process across the state.

He noted that the overwhelming outcome of the primary election further demonstrated the level of acceptance and support Governor Oborevwori enjoys among party faithful and residents of the state. “The emergence of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori as the APC governorship candidate is a clear demonstration of the confidence reposed in his administration and leadership style. It also reflects the collective desire of party members and Deltans to sustain continuity, stability, and development across the state,” he stated.

The NYCN chairman further expressed optimism that the governor’s candidacy would strengthen youth inclusion, empowerment, and participation in governance, while creating more opportunities for young people in entrepreneurship, leadership, and economic development.

Comr. Sagboje, who also serves as the Deputy National Secretary of the Forum of NYCN State Chairmen, urged youths across the state to remain peaceful, law-abiding, and politically responsible before, during, and after the 2027 general elections. He stressed the need for issue-based campaigns and peaceful political engagement, emphasizing that elections should serve as a platform for unity, development, and democratic advancement rather than division or violence.

He reaffirmed the commitment of the youth constituency to support initiatives and policies geared towards youth development, peacebuilding, entrepreneurship, good governance, and sustainable growth in Delta State.
