*Says his political ambition is driven by a commitment to service, not personal gains

OTOR-OWHE- AHEAD of the country’s 2027 general elections, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Isoko nation, Sir Blessing Obomovo has declared his intention to run for the seat of Isoko Federal Constituency at the green chamber.
Obomovo made his intention known while playing host to the members of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Ughelli Correspondents’ Chapel on Thursday April, 9, 2026 at his Otor-Owhe residence in Isoko North local government area of Delta State.
Speaking during the courtesy visit, Obomovo, a Lagos-based real estate developer and chartered builder with over two decades of professional experience, cited his deep-rooted desire to improve the living conditions of his people.
His words, “I grew up here and I understand the pains of our people. I believe we can do better in terms of representation and development,” he said.
The former Delta State House of Assembly candidate in the 2019 general elections, emphasised that his political ambition is driven by a commitment to service, rather than personal gain. He noted that his background in private enterprise has enabled him to empower youths through job creation and mentorship.“I have used my private business to enhance the lives of young people because I believe that creating opportunities reduces dependency.
“If I can achieve that as a private individual, then I can do much more with the platform of public office,” Obomovo stated.
While lamenting the lack of accessible healthcare facilities, he said, many residents of the Isoko federal constituency currently travel long distances to access medical services.
“It is unacceptable that our people have to travel as far as Oghara to access affordable healthcare. One of my priorities is to facilitate the establishment of a major hospital within the constituency to serve our people better,” he said.
While stressing on why Isoko people must be united, he noted that collective effort is essential for meaningful development.
“As a relatively small ethnic nationality, we must not take opportunities for granted. If we work together with a united front, we can achieve far more than we do individually,” he added.
Obomovo commended Governor Sheriff Oborevwori for his developmental strides and for maintaining peace, while calling for sustained support to enable greater achievements.
Fielding questions from members of NUJ Ughelli Correspondents Chapel, he said, political offices are open to all qualified individuals.
“Political offices are contested for, and everyone has the right to run.
My decision is based on my conviction that I can offer effective and impactful representation,” he said.
He assured constituents that his tenure, if elected, would not be experimental but focused on delivering tangible results, adding that he has outlined key priority areas aimed at improving the socio-economic well-being of the people.
