Former Deputy Senate President Ovie Omo-Agege recently alleged that Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori joined the All Progressives Congress (APC) from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) due to fears regarding electoral competition.

Highlighting the APC’s performance during his leadership in the 2023 elections, Omo-Agege noted that the party secured two of the three senatorial seats in Delta State. He further emphasized his influence by pointing out his victory in Delta Central, where he claimed to have defeated the governor’s candidate by a margin of roughly 15,000 votes. Omo-Agege also attributed the recent wave of defections from the PDP to the APC to his post-election mobilization efforts across the state. Despite the Governor’s shift in party affiliation, Omo-Agege expressed confidence in his political influence and remains certain of his electoral base leading into 2027.
