The National Working Committee of All Progressives Congress (APC) has welcomed the defection of Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori into the party.
A statement by Felix Morka, APC National Publicity Secretary, says the party national leadership is highly elated by the decision.
The statement also welcomes other defectors from the PDP including former Governor Ifeanyi Okowa and senior members of his administration.
Other defectors are leaders and members of the House of Assembly, local government chairmen and councilors, and other leaders and members of the PDP.
The statement reads, “Our great Party welcomes this important development, and assures the Governor and incoming leaders and members of Delta PDP of our fullest cooperation and accommodation in the APC family.
It expresses that the defection is coming on the heels of steady decamping of PDP leaders and members across the state to APC.
“We are delighted that Delta state, now an APC state, stands poised to contribute maximally to the success and realization of the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and to the enduring good and prosperity of Deltans and all Nigerians,” the statement concludes.
