In a shocking development that has sent shockwaves through the nation’s political landscape, Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, has officially defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC). This bold move, announced after a closed-door meeting at the Government House in Asaba, marks a significant turning point in the state’s history.
Governor Oborevwori’s decision to leave the PDP, a party he had long been associated with, is reportedly the result of extensive consultations with key stakeholders in the state. While the exact reasons behind his defection are still emerging, insiders suggest that Oborevwori is seeking to align Delta State with the APC’s vision for the country’s future.
The implications of this defection are far-reaching, with many analysts viewing it as a major blow to the PDP’s fortunes in Delta State. The PDP’s structures in the state are said to have collapsed, paving the way for a new era of APC dominance. Notably, former Governor Ifeanyi Okowa is among those who have reportedly joined the APC alongside Oborevwori.
As news of the defection spread, Oborevwori was warmly received by senior APC officials, who welcomed him into the party’s fold. This development is likely to have significant implications for the state’s politics, particularly ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The APC’s gain is undoubtedly the PDP’s loss, and the party’s supporters are likely to be left reeling from this unexpected turn of events. As the dust settles, one thing is certain – Delta State’s politics will never be the same again.
- The question on everyone’s mind now is: what’s next for Delta State under the APC’s leadership? Only time will tell, but one thing is clear – this development has set the stage for a thrilling chapter in the state’s history.
