Delta Gov Oborevwori, Ifeanyi Okowa, Others Dump PDP For APC
Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, and his deputy, Monday Onyeme, have dumped the Peoples Democratic Party for the All Progressives Congress.
Oborevwori moved to the APC along with his predecessor and running mate of Atiku Abubakar in the 2023 presidential election, Dr Ifeanyi Okowa.
Others who moved to the ruling party with the governor are his commissioners and major stakeholders in the PDP in Delta State.
The announcement was made following a closed-door meeting at the Government House in Asaba on Wednesday.
The Governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Sir Festus Ahon, who confirmed the decision said the decision was reached after “wide consultations with political stakeholders and in the interest of Delta’s long-term development.”
Oborevwori, who emerged victorious in the 2023 gubernatorial election under the PDP platform, was received by senior APC officials in what political analysts are already describing as a strategic realignment with significant implications ahead of the 2027 general elections
