In a stunning political development, former Governor of Delta State and 2023 Vice Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, has officially defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The announcement came on Wednesday shortly after a closed-door meeting held at the Delta State Government House in Asaba.
Addressing a gathering in his native dialect before making the move public, Okowa assured his supporters that his decision was in their best interest.
“Be assured that we will not go in the wrong direction. We will take the best direction, the best path for our people,” he said.
Okowa’s defection marks a major shift in Delta State’s political dynamics and could have broader implications for the national political landscape, especially as the 2027 elections draw nearer.
Details still emerging.
