Governor Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta State has hinted on an imminent mass defection from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Delta State.
Oborevwori said all members of the National Assembly from Delta State have agreed to defect to the APC.
He also disclosed that all structures of the PDP in the state will defect to the APC soon.
Speaking in Asaba, Delta State, the governor disclosed that all state executives, advisers, council chairmen, 500 councillors, ward chairmen, and local government party chairmen will defect in the next few days.
He said: “All of our members in the national assembly, at the next resumption, they have agreed to defect on the floor of the house. Mr Speaker is here, heaven will not fall.
“There is nothing wrong, it is normal. I was a lawmaker, a presiding officer, we have a lot of problems, we have reasoned and have justification to move.
“The state excos, the advisers, the council chairmen, they are all moving. We have 500 councillors, they are all moving. All the ward chairmen are all moving. The local government party chairmen are all moving.”
Last week, Oborevwori had dumped the PDP for the APC and he officially joined the ruling party today, Monday.
