In a major political shake-up, Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori has officially defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The announcement was made by Senator James Manager during a press briefing attended by key PDP figures, including former Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, who was the vice-presidential candidate in the 2023 elections.
Also present were Delta State House of Assembly Speaker Emomotimi Guor and other party leaders.
Manager stated that the governor’s move was in the best interest of Delta State’s development.
He confirmed that the entire PDP structure in the state has now merged with the APC.
A formal declaration is expected on Monday, cementing Delta’s transition to an APC-controlled state.
