It was also gathered that the National Chairman of the APC, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, and Senator Adams Oshiomhole have arrived in the state capital.
At the time of filing this report, other APC governors were still being expected.
Following Governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s and his predecessor, Ifeanyi Okowa’s defection to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), the immediate past Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, has urged members of the party in Delta State to welcome the defecting members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
In a statement he signed and made available to journalists on Sunday, Omo-Agege said the massive defection of the PDP leadership and members in Delta State into the APC “underscores the success of President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda in driving growth and development in our country.
He assured APC members in the state that the ruling party is already addressing issues arising from their defection.
