REVEALED: Governor Oborevwori Dumps PDP for APC After Secret Meeting in Asaba | WATCH VIDEO

.... Shocker in Delta as sitting PDP Governor defects to ruling party ahead of 2027 elections

In a major political earthquake that has sent shockwaves across Nigeria's political landscape, Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori has officially dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The dramatic announcement was confirmed late Wednesday evening following a highly secretive, closed-door meeting held at the Government House in Asaba, the Delta State capital.

According to a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Sir Festus Ahon, the governor's decision was reached after "wide consultations with political stakeholders and in the interest of Delta's long-term development."

Governor Oborevwori, who was elected under the PDP platform in 2023, is now the first sitting PDP governor to cross over to the ruling APC since the last general election, marking what analysts are calling a dangerous crack in the PDP's stronghold in the South-South region.

Top APC officials were reportedly present in Asaba to receive the governor into their fold, in what insiders are describing as a grand realignment ahead of the 2027 general elections. Sources within both parties suggest that backchannel negotiations had been ongoing for months, fueled by internal PDP wrangling and mounting pressure from APC national strategists.

This shocking move comes amid speculation that several other prominent South-South politicians may follow suit in a bid to reposition themselves for relevance in the next electoral cycle. Political observers say the defection could trigger a ripple effect in Delta State politics and possibly reshape the 2027 gubernatorial and presidential election dynamics.

As of press time, official details of the agreements reached during the closed-door meeting have not been made public. However, All Facts Newspaper can confirm that key PDP leaders in Delta are in emergency talks to assess the fallout and determine the party's next line of action.

This bold switch by Governor Oborevwori is certain to ignite fierce political debates and realignments across party lines-and many believe this is only the beginning of what may become a storm of defections as the 2027 race approaches.
