Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori has defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
The announcement came after a private meeting held at the Government House in Asaba on Wednesday.
Sir Festus Ahon, the Governor’s Chief Press Secretary, confirmed the news during a phone call with Vanguard.
The decision to join the APC followed extensive discussions with various political stakeholders and is aimed at fostering the long-term development of Delta State.
Governor Oborevwori, who won the 2023 gubernatorial election as a PDP candidate, was received by prominent APC leaders.
Political analysts view the move as a significant strategic shift with potential implications for the upcoming 2027 general elections.
