The National Working Committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has commended Delta Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori for ditching the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the governing party.
The party also hailed the defection of former PDP Vice presidential candidate in the 2023 general elections, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, with eminent leaders, Assembly members and senior officials of the PDP to APC.
Reacting to the development, APC National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka in a statement in Abuja on Wednesday said the party’s highest administrative organ was highly elated by the Governor’s decision with other PDP chieftains to join the ruling party.
The statement reads: “The National Working Committee of the All Progressives Congress under the leadership of His Excellency, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, CON, is highly elated by the decision of the Governor of Delta state, His Excellency Sheriff Oborevwori, to join our great Party, along with eminent leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), including former Governor of Delta state and vice presidential candidate of the PDP in the 2023 presidential election, His Excellency Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, senior administration officials, leaders and members of the House of Assembly, local government chairmen and councilors in the state, and teeming leaders and members of the PDP.
“Our great Party welcomes this important development, and assures the Governor and incoming leaders and members of Delta PDP of our fullest cooperation and accommodation in the APC family.
“With this move, coming on the heels of steady decamping of PDP leaders and members across the state to APC, including members of Delta Unity Group in Ika federal constituency, we are delighted that Delta state, now an APC state, stands poised to contribute maximally to the success and realization of the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and to the enduring good and prosperity of Deltans and all Nigerians.”
