Former Minority Leader of the House of Representatives and All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for Aniocha/Oshimili Federal Constituency in the 2027 general elections, Rt. Hon. Ndudi Godwin Elumelu, OON, has congratulated the Governor of Delta State, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Francis Oborevwori, on his conferment with the 2026 Governor of the Year Award by The SUN Newspaper.
In a congratulatory message on Friday November 13, 2026, Elumelu described the honour as well deserved, noting that it reflects the Governor’s humble disposition, empathy, compassion and exemplary leadership, as well as his commitment to inclusiveness in the administration of the affairs of Delta State.
He observed that Oborevwori’s distinctive leadership approach and profound value for the welfare of the people have continued to translate into significant development across critical sectors of the State’s economy, positioning Delta among the leading states in the country.
The former Minority Leader particularly commended the Governor’s prudent management of public finances and resources, which he said has facilitated balanced development across the 25 Local Government Areas, while sustaining a peaceful, secure and conducive environment for residents and businesses without resorting to domestic or international borrowing.
Elumelu noted that the Governor’s governance philosophy, anchored on responsible resource management, equity and attention to the needs of the people, continues to provide a solid foundation for sustainable development and shared prosperity across the State.
On behalf of the entire Elumelu family, his political associates, the good people of Aniocha/Oshimili Federal Constituency and Delta State in general, Elumelu heartily rejoiced with the Governor on this prestigious recognition.
He also appreciated The SUN Newspaper, one of Nigeria’s respected media organisations, for recognising the Governor’s leadership and conferring an honour that, in his view, brings further recognition to Delta State and its people.
Elumelu prayed that Almighty God would continue to strengthen and bless Governor Oborevwori with the wisdom, good health and all necessary enablements to accomplish more for the people of Delta State and make greater contributions to humanity.
