Governor Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta State has said his
defection to the All Progressives Congress, APC, was not to kill the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP.
Oborevwori said the PDP can’t make any headway in 2027,
hence the decision of his administration to form a political alignment with the
APC.
Speaking through the state’s Commissioner for Works (Rural
Roads) and Public Information, Mr. Charles Aniagwu, at a press briefing in
Asaba, the governor said the intention of his administration was to move the
state forward.
Oborevwori, former PDP’s running mate, Ifeanyi Okowa and
some chieftains of the party in the state had defected to the APC.
However, the governor said his alignment with APC was aimed
at advancing the state’s development.
“Our desire is not to kill PDP but to move Delta forward,
and so we changed our driving pattern.
“It was obvious that PDP won’t make headway in the
forthcoming 2027 election, and so [there was] need to move to APC,” he said.
On the performance of his administration, he added, “In
almost two years, we can see very bold and remarkable achievements by Governor
Oborevwori and his team.
“We have provided roads in various communities, reducing
travel time from Asaba to Ughelli to just one hour and forty-five minutes.”
He dismissed concerns raised by critics about the
government’s capacity to deliver, stating, “Anyone suggesting that the
administration is losing grip is far from the truth.
“We remain committed to delivering results.”
