The announcement was made following a closed-door meeting held at the Government House in Asaba on Wednesday evening...
Governor of Delta State, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, has officially defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Confirming the development, the Governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Sir Festus Ahon, stated that 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.
The defection is expected to reshape the political landscape in Delta State and could trigger a wave of similar movements as the political season gradually heats up.
