Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori Defects to APC After Closed-Door Meeting

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 on Wednesday following a closed-door meeting held at the Government House in Asaba.

The Governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Sir Festus Ahon, confirmed the defection, stating that the move followed “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.
