The 2027 re-election bid of President Bola Tinubu, got a major boost on Wednesday, April 23, 2025 as Governor Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta formerly defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progress Congress (APC).
The Tinubu’s hurricane also did collateral damage to the 2023 PDP presidential candidate and 2027 presidential hopeful, Atiku Abubakar as Governor Oborevwori moved to the APC alongside his predecessor and Atiku’s running mate in the 2023 election, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa.
The Delta deputy governor, Monday Onyeme, also dumped the PDP for the APC.
Announcing the defection in Asaba on Wednesday, April 23, 2025, Sen James Manager, who addressed the press after a meeting of the PDP stakeholders in Government House said a formal declaration would be made on Monday.
He said that the governor’s defection to the ruling party was for the interest and the overall development of Delta State.
According to Manager, the entire PDP structures in the state had been collapsed to the APC.
Given the current development, Delta State is now an APC state.
