The senator representing Delta North, Senator Ned Nwoko, has told the Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, that he is not welcome in the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Nwoko stated that the Delta APC will defeat the governor and his party, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in the 2027 general elections.

The senator who recently dumped PDP for APC made this statement at Agbor, during the official defection of members of the Delta Unity Group (DUG) in Ika Federal Constituency from PDP to the APC.

The gathering was attended by APC bigwigs, including chairman Alhaji Umar Ganduje, Edo State Governor Monday Okpebholo, and Senator Ovie Omo-Agege.

There have been rumors of Governor Oborevwori’s intentions to dump PDP for the APC, a claim his media team has repeatedly denied.

But speaking at the event, Nwoko said, “Oborevwori wants to come to APC, but tell him to stay where he is. He will be defeated. We don’t want him in APC.”

Nwoko’s assertion was made against the backdrop of President Tinubu’s purported interest in winning Delta State in 2027.

According to Nwoko, this might be the reason behind Oborevwori’s desperation to join APC. However, Nwoko emphasised that the party doesn’t need the governor’s membership to win Delta State.

Nwoko expressed unwavering confidence in APC’s prospects in Delta State, assuring the crowd that the next governor of Delta State will emerge from APC, emphasising the party’s growing appeal due to PDP’s alleged 25 years of corrupt governance.

“Delta will surely become an APC state come 2027. Twenty-five years of corrupt governance by the PDP in the state is enough. We must take over. The time has come for that to happen,” he added. He emphasized that APC is poised to deliver better governance and that the party’s growing strength and momentum will ensure its victory in 2027.

 

“Don’t let anyone doubt who you are. The next governor will be formed by you. As you go home, tell them that the next governor of Delta State will be formed by the APC. Today, we are emboldened and happy that a large political group like the DUG is following my footsteps in joining the APC,” Nwoko said.

 

On his part, former Deputy Senate President Ovie Omo-Agege, vowed that Oborevwori and his predecessor, Ifeanyi Okowa, will not be allowed to join APC.

 

Omo-Agege said the APC is open to welcoming new PDP members but not Oborevwori and Okowa.

 

He said APC’s growing strength, bolstered by the defection of over 60 percent of PDP members since 2023, will enable it to deliver the state for President Tinubu, retain all Senate seats and win the House of Representatives and House of Assembly seats in 2027.
