Delta Governor Oborevwori Leaves PDP for APC

Governor of Delta State, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, has made the decision to leave the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and join the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The announcement was made after a closed-door meeting held at the Government House in Asaba on Wednesday evening.

Oborevwori’s Chief Press Secretary, Sir Festus Ahon, confirmed the defection, stating that it came after extensive consultations with political leaders and in the best interest of Delta’s long-term progress.

Oborevwori, who won the 2023 gubernatorial election under the PDP, was warmly received by senior APC officials.

Political analysts are already considering this move as part of a strategic shift, with major implications for the upcoming 2027 general elections.
