Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, has said the All Progressives Congress, APC, does not need to buy votes to win the 2027 general elections.
The governor insisted that the party has enough grassroots support to secure victory.
Oborevwori made the statement on Wednesday during the APC local government-by-local government campaign rally in Akwukwu-Igbo, headquarters of Oshimili North Local Government Area.
He said vote-buying was unnecessary for a party that enjoyed the support of the people.
"The APC has no reason to buy votes because the people are already with us. Vote-buying is only necessary for those who lack grassroots support," the governor said.
He recalled that Oshimili North recorded the highest number of votes in Delta State during the last election.
He expressed confidence that the APC would maintain or surpass the record in 2027.
"We expect our supporters to come out in large numbers and vote for the APC. We will also continue to deliver more development projects across the state," the governor said.
