Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, has clinched double honours as Governor of the Year 2025, following separate recognitions by New Telegraph Newspapers and Leadership Newspapers for his impactful governance and people-focused policies.

Leadership Newspapers announced that the Delta Governor will be honoured at the 18th Leadership Conference and Awards, scheduled to hold today February 12, 2026, at the Bola Ahmed Tinubu International Conference Centre, Abuja.
The annual flagship event, organised by Leadership Newspapers, convenes top political leaders, policymakers, business executives, and development partners to deliberate on critical national and continental issues, while also recognising outstanding individuals and organisations for their contributions to national development.
The 2026 edition of the conference will be held under the theme: “Political Stability and Sustainable Development in Africa in an Increasingly Unstable Global System: A Roadmap for Nigeria.”
In a related development, New Telegraph Newspapers will also confer its Governor of the Year 2025 Award on Governor Oborevwori as overall Governor of the Year at the New Telegraph 2025 Awards Ceremony, slated for Friday, February 13, 2026, at the Grand Ballroom of the Oriental Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos.
