Victor Ogba, a former chairman of the National Conscience Party in Edo State and the National President of the Movement for Nigerian Transformation, has announced his decision to join the All Progressives Congress (APC). Speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria in Abuja, Ogba cited President Bola Tinubu’s reforms as the primary reason for his defection, praising the president’s efforts as courageous and landmark. He said these reforms have attracted new members to the APC and expressed his intention to support the party’s growth.
Ogba’s official declaration for the APC is scheduled for September 16. Prior to that, he was received by the APC chairman of Ward 5, Isoko South Local Government Area of Delta, on August 22. He indicated that he will return to his home state of Delta, where he plans to contribute his experience to the party. As a veteran politician who has played a significant role in Edo State politics, Ogba now aims to replicate his success in Delta, collaborating with Governor Sheriff Oborevwori and other APC stakeholders to promote stability in the polity.
He has committed to abiding by the APC’s constitution and using his expertise to support the party’s expansion. Ogba urged Nigerians to continue backing the APC to facilitate President Tinubu’s vision. His defection is seen as a strategic move that could bolster the APC’s presence in Delta State, and his upcoming official declaration marks the beginning of a new chapter in his political career, aligning with his commitment to a progressive Nigeria. The development is likely to have notable implications for the political landscape in Delta State as the APC seeks to expand its influence under President Tinubu’s leadership.
