Tsunami Alert: Two More Governors Eye APC As PDP Crisis Deepens – NWC Member Reveals

The national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has remained silent in the wake of the dramatic defection of Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori and his predecessor, Ifeanyi Okowa, to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The move has rocked the PDP, triggering internal turmoil particularly within its National Working Committee (NWC), National Executive Committee (NEC), and Board of Trustees (BoT).

As reported by Naija News on Wednesday, the high-profile switch by Oborevwori and Okowa represents a major political shake-up in Delta State and a potential blow to the PDP’s influence in the region.

A source within the PDP’s NWC, who spoke anonymously to Vanguard, disclosed that the defections could signal the start of a wider migration of governors from the PDP to the APC.

“Discussions have reached advanced stages with three PDP governors,” the insider revealed. “It’s very likely that at least two more will cross over to the APC in the coming months.”

Reacting to the development, Festus Keyamo (SAN), Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development and a native of Delta State, welcomed the move.

Taking to (formerly Twitter), Keyamo celebrated the defections, calling them a pivotal moment for the state’s political direction.

“Today is the day the Lord has made in Delta State; finally, finally Delta is APC! Thank you, Mr. President, for your leadership that continues to draw the best to our party,” Keyamo wrote, highlighting what he sees as a major political realignment under President Tinubu’s leadership.
