Delta Governor Sheriff Oborevwori Defects From PDP To APC

Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori has  left the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and joined the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The switch was confirmed on Wednesday, April 23, 2025, after a private meeting at the Government House in Asaba.

Insiders say the governor made the decision after holding wide-ranging talks with key political figures.

It’s believed the move is aimed at supporting the state’s long-term development.

Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, who won the 2023 election under the PDP, was welcomed into the APC by top party leaders.

Political analysts see this as a significant shift that could change the direction of politics in Delta State ahead of the 2027 elections.

Although the governor hasn’t made a formal statement yet, more information about his reasons for defecting is expected soon.

KanyiDaily recalls that a member of the House of Representatives, Oluwole Oke also dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
