Great Ogboru Secures ADC Ticket for 2027 Delta Governorship

Great Ogboru, a notable businessman and politician from Delta State, has been a significant figure in the state's political landscape since the return to democracy in 1999. He made his first serious attempt at the governorship in 2003 with the Alliance for Democracy but was unsuccessful.

Despite subsequent attempts in 2007 and 2011 with the People's Democratic Party, he faced defeat. In 2019, Ogboru reportedly invested substantial financial resources into his campaign but still did not achieve his goal.

As of 2023, he appeared to have set aside his ambitions, focusing on personal interests due to the costly nature of political pursuits. However, he has made a dramatic comeback by securing the governorship ticket for the African Democratic Congress for the 2027 elections, reigniting questions about his long-standing quest for the governorship in Delta State.
