    We Defected To APC In The Best Interest Of Delta State – Okowa

    Former Delta State Governor Ifeanyi Okowa has revealed why he and his successor, Sheriff Oborevwori, decided to defect from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

    Okowa, who spoke at a ceremony attended by a mammoth crowd at the Cenotaph in Asaba on Monday, stated that the decision to defect was made in the best interest of the people.

    According to him, they left their former party to connect with Abuja, Nigeria’s seat of power, to tap into its resource.

    “It’s a great day for us in Delta State. When the news broke on Wednesday, the 23rd of April, 2025, that we had decided to change our path, people wondered why.

    “But one thing is very important. In the history of a people, there is always a time to change our path for the common good of the people.

    “And whatever decision that we took was based on that common good and the need to change our path in the best interest of our state.

    “As I did tell people that day, it was not about me. It was not about the governor, but the fact that there is a need for us to connect to Abuja.

    “That goodwill that is in Abuja, that resource that is in Abuja, of which Delta State is a large contributor, there was the need to connect to it,” Okowa said.
