WATCH THE VIDEO HERE The Governor of Delta State, Mr Sheriff Oborevwori, has officially joined the All Progressives Congress (APC) from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP). Mr Oborevwori was elected the Governor of the Niger Delta state under the platform of the PDP in 2023. He was the Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly before succeeding Mr Ifeanyi Okowa. The Chief Press Secretary (CPS) of the Governor, Mr Festus Ahon, disclosed on Wednesday that his boss decided to ditch the PDP alongside other critical stakeholders in the state for the APC to align the state with the centre. According to him, the decision to defect to the APC was taken by the Governor after wide consultations with stakeholders in the state. It was gathered that Mr Oborevwori held a closed-door meeting with some political heavyweights in Delta State at the Government House this evening. The CPS said the switch to the APC from the PDP by the Governor and others was “in the interest of Delta’s long-term development.” Recall that a few days ago, it was speculated that four governors of the PDP were planning to join the ruling APC. In the past few days, Governor Oborevwori, Governor Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom State and others have endorsed President Bola Tinubu for second term in office.
