Delta In Turmoil: Oborevwori’s Ex-Aide Mobilises Mass Revolt Against ‘Coup Plotters’ In APC Why?

Victor Ojei, a former Senior Special Assistant to Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, has called on members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), civil society organizations, pro-democracy activists, and youth groups to unite in opposition to the Oborevwori-led alignment with the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta State.

Ojei, who resigned his position following the defection of Governor Oborevwori, former Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, and other PDP figures to the APC, warned of an emerging threat of political domination in the state.

In a statement shared with Naija News, he described the defection as a “political coup” against the people of Delta, accusing corrupt elites of attempting to seize control and impose one-party rule.

He urged Deltans to resist what he called a dangerous shift towards dictatorship:

“We, the Young Nigerian Rights Organisation, are sounding the alarm on a dangerous trend — the shameless, opportunistic merger of a faction of the PDP with the same APC they once criticized as disastrous.”

Ojei, also known as Comrade Wong Box, declared that the defection represents betrayal and a deliberate effort to undermine democracy in the state. He stressed the need to defend the core values of a pluralistic political system.

“We reject this unholy alliance. We will not follow the path of betrayal. We stand with the people, with the authentic PDP, and with democracy itself,” he stated.

Ojei further revealed plans to build a broad-based opposition coalition, uniting patriots and democratic forces to challenge and ultimately defeat the APC through democratic means by 2027.

“Our mission is to reclaim Delta State and restore democratic integrity, with the ultimate goal of dislodging APC from power at the federal level.”
