We don’t need you to win Delta in 2027 – Nwoko to Oborevwori

From Joe Obukata Ogbodu, WarriDelta North Senator Ned Nwoko has taken a swipe at Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, saying that the governor is not welcome in his alleged bid to join the All Progressives Congress (APC) to seek reelection.He made this statement at Agbor, Ika South local government area, during the official defection of members of a prominent political group, the Delta Unity Group (DUG) in Ika Federal Constituency, from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to the APC. googletag.

TheSun.ng gathers that there have been rumours of Governor Oborevwori’s intentions to join the APC over the past two months, which his media managers have consistently denied as unfounded.Senator Nwoko told the crowd bluntly during Saturday’s event, “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.” $(document).

According to Nwoko, “This might be the reason behind Oborevwori’s desperation to join APC, but” APC as a party doesn’t need the governor’s membership to win Delta State,” he stressed.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 emphasised that the 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. $(document).

ready(function(){(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})}); This stance is supported by former Deputy Senate President Ovie Omo-Agege, who vowed that Oborevwori and his predecessor, Ifeanyi Okowa, will never be allowed to join the APC.

Senator Ned Nwoko’s stance on Governor Oborevwori’s potential defection to the APC aligns with that of Omo-Agege, who said the APC is open to welcoming new members from the PDP, “but Oborevwori and his predecessor, Ifeanyi Okowa, are not welcome”.Omo-Agege expressed confidence that the APC’s growing strength, bolstered by the defection of over 60% of PDP members since 2023, positions the party to deliver Delta State for President Ahmed Tinubu and sweep the 2027 elections, retaining all Senate seats and winning the House of Representatives and House of Assembly seats.Some party chieftains, however, warned Oborevwori’s defection would destabilise the APC and spark a backlash from Delta State voters who see Oborevwori and Okowa as key figures in the state’s desire for change, and their involvement with the APC could undermine the party’s prospects in the state.

Meanwhile, the senator also reiterated APC’s firm support for the creation of Anioma State, claiming that the PDP’s government reluctance stems from a desire to maintain power in the existing Delta State. $(document).ready(function(){(adsbygoogle = window.
