Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, has officially defected from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP to the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.
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.
The development brings an end to the speculations over his defection to APC ahead of 2027 elections.
