Delta Workers Will Vote APC Over 13th-Month Pay

Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori said on Thursday that his administration’s payment of a 13th-month salary will guarantee the votes of civil servants for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 elections.

Speaking at the inauguration of the Delta State APC Campaign Council in Asaba, Oborevwori said the welfare package had tied the workforce’s fate to the continuity of his government.

“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, clarifying that workers receive double pay in December.

“Whether you’re an appointee, whether a public servant, whether a civil servant, you’re receiving your 13th month.”

Oborevwori, who chairs the council, unveiled “MORE Plus” as the theme for his re-election campaign and urged members to take President Bola Tinubu‘s message to the grassroots.

“Our achievements must speak for us, but we must also be prepared to explain them convincingly,” he said.
