Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, has said civil servants benefiting from his administration’s 13th-month salary package have no reason to vote against the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 general elections.
He made the remark on Thursday in Asaba during the inauguration of the state APC Campaign Council, where he unveiled “MORE Plus” as the theme of his re-election campaign.
Oborevwori, who chairs the council, described the additional salary as a significant benefit that should encourage workers to support the continuation of his administration.
“Today civil servants have no choice not to vote us. They have no choice. 13th month (salary) is huge, times two. Some people don’t understand what 13th month,” he said.
Explaining the package, he added, “What you’re receiving now is times two in December. That is the meaning of 13th month. Whether you’re an appointee, whether a public servant, whether a civil servant, you’re receiving your 13th month.”
The governor urged campaign council members to take President Bola Tinubu’s message to communities and mobilise voters across polling units and wards. He described their appointment as a responsibility requiring unity, discipline and commitment.
He also called on them to highlight his administration’s achievements under the M.O.R.E Agenda, which covers infrastructure, education, healthcare, workers’ welfare, youth empowerment and security.
