The Presidency has mocked former Vice President Atiku Abubakar over Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori and former Governor Ifeanyi Okowa’s defection to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Okowa was Atiku’s running mate. Atiku contested the 2023 Presidential election under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, reacting to Okowa’s defection via his official Twitter account, said Atiku’s coalition has disintegrated.

Onanuga said, “Atiku’s political future looks bleak. The coalition that he, El-Rufai, Babachir, and the new member Baba-Ahmed are cobbling together has disintegrated.

On Wednesday, Oborevwori, Okowa, and many members of the PDP in Delta defected to the All Progressives Congress.

Shortly after a six-hour meeting at Government House, Senator James Manager announced the defection of all Delta State officials in Asaba, the State capital.

Manager said, “All PDP members in the state, including the governor, former Governor Okowa, the Speaker, the state party chairman, all the local government chairmen and others, have agreed to move to the APC.

“We cannot continue to be in a sinking boat,” he said.

The Delta State commissioner for Information, Mr Aniagwu Charles, officially confirmed the governor’s defection and the collective decision of Delta PDP leaders and stakeholders to join the APC.

“There is a need for us to adjust our drinking patterns. And in adjusting that drinking pattern, we needed to make a decision that would further help to cement the development in our state, to build the court of law that has existed in our state, to advance further the cause of security and the welfare of our people, and, to a large extent, ensure that development in Delta is not truncated,” Aniagwu stated.
