The immediate past Deputy President of the Senate, and 2023 governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress(APC) in Delta State, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, has welcomed Governor Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta State and his predecessor, the 2023 Vice Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Ifeanyi Okowa, to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The defection, announced on April 23, 2025, saw Oborevwori, Okowa, the entire PDP structure and other PDP heavyweights formally joining the APC.
Omo-Agege, the APC governorship candidate in the 2023 elections, described the move as “historic” and a testament to President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
In a statement issued on Sunday, Omo-Agege urged party members to embrace the newcomers with unity and a shared commitment to progress.
The statement read in part: “The leadership of the Delta State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) warmly welcomes His Excellency, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, and all leaders and members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) into the All Progressives Congress (APC).
“This historic move underscores the success of President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda in driving growth and development in our country.
“In line with outcomes of deliberations with the national leadership of our party, the Progressive Governors Forum and Delta APC stakeholders, I wish to assure all stakeholders that any issues arising from this development are being carefully considered and managed with prudence and foresight in the best interests of our party and our beloved state.
“Let us embrace this development with unity, understanding, and a shared commitment to the progress of Delta State and Nigeria.
“In this renewed spirit of brotherhood in Delta APC, I urge all LGA and Ward Chairmen, their executives, party members, and our teeming supporters to turn out en masse for the welcome reception of our new members into the APC on Monday, April 28, 2025, in Asaba.
“This development reaffirms our commitment to progressive governance, promising a brighter future for our people and a more prosperous, secure, and united Nigeria. Together, we will work tirelessly to achieve greatness for Delta State and Nigeria.”
