The National Working Committee (NWC) of All Progressives Congress (APC) has welcomed the governor of Delta State, Sheriff Oborevwori, his predecessor, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, and other leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the State, to its fold.
The national publicity secretary of the APC, Felix Morka, who disclosed this in Abuja on Wednesday after the defection of Oborevwori, Okowa and other Delta State PDP leaders to APC, assured them of cooperation and accommodation in the ruling party’s family.
“The National Working Committee of All Progressives Congress (APC) under the leadership of His Excellency, Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, 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 realisation of the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and to the enduring good and prosperity of Deltans and all Nigerians,” Morka stated.
