In a dramatic turn of events, Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, has defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The announcement was made after a closed-door meeting at the Government House in Asaba, the state capital, on Wednesday evening.
Governor Oborevwori, who won the 2023 gubernatorial election under the PDP platform, was warmly received by top APC officials.
The defection is seen as a significant strategic move ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The reasons behind Governor Oborevwori’s defection are not yet clear, but the move is likely to have far-reaching implications for the political landscape in Delta State and beyond.
The APC has welcomed the governor, and his new affiliation is expected to strengthen the party’s position in the state.
This development marks a major shift in the state’s politics, and reactions are expected to pour in from various stakeholders.
The PDP, on the other hand, may face challenges in regrouping and reassessing its strategy in the state following this significant loss.
