A political tsunami has started ravaging the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
This followed the defection of the party’s former Vice
Presidential running mate, Ifeanyi Okowa to the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Recall that Okowa, a former governor of Delta State,
defected to the All Progressives Congress, APC, on Wednesday.
Okowa’s defection to APC was made public shortly after a
meeting at Delta State Government House in Asaba.
He explained that his decision was not a wrong step,
stressing that he was on the right path.
“Be assured that we will not go in the wrong direction. We
will take the best direction, the best path for our people,” Okowa said.
Similarly, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta State also
dumped the PDP for the ruling APC.
Oborevwori’s defection was part of the outcome of the
meeting with leaders and stakeholders of the PDP in the state.
Speaking on the development, Senator James Manager made it
clear that the exodus was total: “All PDP members in the state, including the
governor, former Governor Okowa, the Speaker, the state party chairman, all
local government chairmen, and others, have agreed to move to the APC. We
cannot continue to be in a sinking boat.”

overnight— what a miraculous political conversion.”
