BREAKING NEWS: Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori Defects From PDP To APC
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

In a move that has sent shockwaves through the political landscape of Delta State and beyond, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori has officially announced his defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The announcement was made during a press briefing held at the Government House in Asaba today, Tuesday 23 April 2025, where Governor Oborevwori, flanked by key political allies and supporters, declared his decision to align with the ruling APC, citing the need for stronger collaboration with the federal government to accelerate development in the state.

“This decision was not taken lightly,” Oborevwori stated. “After wide consultations with stakeholders, leaders, and constituents, I believe that joining the APC will enable Delta State to benefit more directly from the policies and programs of the federal government. My priority remains the progress and prosperity of our people.”

Governor Oborevwori, who emerged as governor under the PDP in the 2023 general elections, has been a prominent figure in the party, serving previously as Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly. His defection is expected to significantly alter the political dynamics in the South-South region, where the PDP has traditionally held sway.

Reacting to the development, the APC leadership at both the state and national levels welcomed Governor Oborevwori into the party, describing his move as a bold step towards inclusive governance and national unity. Party leaders also expressed confidence that his leadership would further strengthen the APC’s presence in Delta State.

Meanwhile, the PDP has yet to issue an official statement, but sources within the party describe the governor’s defection as a “major setback” and a call for urgent introspection ahead of the next election cycle.

Political analysts are already weighing the implications of this high-profile defection, especially in the lead-up to future elections, with expectations that it may trigger a ripple effect across other states in the region.
