Oborevwori, Okowa, Entire Delta PDP Structure Defects to APC

Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, his predecessor Ifeanyi Okowa, and the entire state structure of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The announcement was made late Wednesday in Asaba by Senator James Manager, who addressed journalists shortly after a high-level meeting that lasted over six hours at the Government House.

“All PDP members in the state, including the governor, former Governor Okowa, the Speaker, the state party chairman, all the local government chairmen and others, have agreed to move to the APC,” Manager declared. “We cannot continue to be in a sinking boat.”

The decision, which appears to have been unanimously adopted by PDP stakeholders in the state, marks a seismic shift in the political landscape of Delta, a state that has been under PDP control since the return of democracy in 1999.
