Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori has left his political party. He was a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). He is now joining the All Progressives Congress (APC).
This is a big change in Delta State politics. It could affect the 2027 elections. Oborevwori was elected as a PDP governor. Now, he is switching sides.
SaharaReporters found out about a secret meeting. The governor met with important people. They talked about his decision to leave the PDP.
The meeting was at the Government House. Local government leaders were there. Members of the State House of Assembly were also there.
The governor plans to change his cabinet. He will remove some people. He will appoint new people from the APC.
A person at the meeting told SaharaReporters about the plan. The person wants to remain anonymous. The change is meant to give the APC more power.
The new cabinet will be a mix of parties. The APC will get 40% of the positions. The PDP will keep 60%.
This plan is to help things go smoothly. But some people worry about what it means for the future. More changes may be coming.
Former Senator James Manager agreed that the governor switched parties. The governor’s spokesperson also confirmed the news.
The governor will officially join the APC next Monday. There will be a ceremony to welcome him.
This change could cause more politicians to switch parties. It might change who wins the next election. Other political parties have not yet responded.
