DELTA PDP "MASS DEFECTION" CLAIMS: Another Desperate APC Propaganda Stunt

Once again, the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta State has resorted to its well-worn tactic of misinformation, attempting to fabricate a crisis where none exists. The latest claim of a so-called "mass defection" of 5,000 PDP members to the APC is nothing more than a desperate and laughable ploy aimed at misleading the public and creating a false perception of political momentum for a party that has persistently failed to gain traction in Delta State.

The Truth Behind the False Defection Claims
The names being paraded as recent defectors—Senator Ned Nwoko, Erhiatake Ibori-Suenu, Nicholas Ossai, Chief Great Ogboru, Chika Ossai, and Dr. Chris Okobah—have not been members of the PDP since 2023. These individuals realigned with the Delta Unity Group (DUG) and actively worked against the PDP in both the presidential and governorship elections. Their exit from the party is old news, neither surprising nor significant.
Rather than a mass defection, this is a failed attempt by the APC to manufacture a sense of instability within the PDP. In reality, the PDP remains strong, united, and in full control under the leadership of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori. The so-called emergency meeting being sensationalized is nothing extraordinary—it is simply part of routine party engagements aimed at strengthening structures and strategizing for governance.
The APC’s Motive: Misinformation Over Substance
The APC in Delta State has consistently relied on propaganda and deception to distract from its internal failings. Lacking a coherent political strategy or the ability to position itself as a viable opposition, it resorts to fabricating false narratives to create the illusion of political gains.
This latest stunt is a rehash of outdated information, repackaged as breaking news in an attempt to mislead the public. There is no sudden defection, no political earthquake—just another round of APC propaganda meant to mask its own lack of vision and credibility.
Delta PDP: Strong, United, and Focused on Development
Under Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, the PDP remains focused on governance, delivering tangible results for the people of Delta State. From infrastructure development to security enhancements and economic growth initiatives, the administration is working tirelessly to fulfill its promises.
The so-called "defections" are inconsequential compared to the PDP's deep-rooted presence in Delta State. The party remains the dominant political force, and its leadership continues to engage stakeholders, mobilize support, and strengthen party structures for future victories.
The PDP is neither in disarray nor under threat. Rather than addressing its internal disunity and lack of governance ideas, the APC in Delta State is fixated on fabricating lies. However, Deltans are politically sophisticated and will not be deceived by such cheap antics.
Conclusion: Delta PDP Stands Unshaken
Let there be no doubt: there is no mass defection in Delta PDP. The individuals mentioned in the APC’s misleading claims left the party over a year ago, and their exit has had no impact on the PDP's strength and unity. Delta PDP remains intact, unwavering, and firmly in control of the state’s political landscape.
No amount of misinformation can alter this reality. The APC’s repeated attempts to create confusion only serve to expose its lack of direction and credibility. Delta PDP is here to stay, and the people of Delta State remain resolute in their support for a party that prioritizes their welfare and development.

OBOREVWORI: How Not To Glorify A 'One Chance' Governor - By Zik Gbemre

It is appalling how, in desperation to sustain its thieving hegemony over the Delta State Government since 1999, the Delta PDP had the audacity to impose the weakest, most uninformed contender, a local champion, as Governor over a state replete with accomplished men and women of immense capacity. Given this unenviable privilege, one would have expected the fortunate placeholder governor, Sheriff Oborevwori—whose only election campaign manifesto was pledging to improve on the failed leadership of Ifeanyi Okowa, his predecessor—to engage creative minds and individuals of proven integrity to assist him in making a difference. Rather than doing the needful, Oborevwori has worsened matters by electing to engage the same spent leaders, deadwood, and gluttons that have gained prominence in running the state down over successive administrations. The result has been a government of mediocre officeholders competing to run the state for their pockets at the detriment of the populace, under a gove...

THE ENDURING LEGACY OF LEADERSHIP: Chief James Ibori Celebrated for His Impact on Delta State

On Friday, May 31st, during the funeral service for the Late Asagba of Asaba, the essence of true leadership was vividly displayed. The service featured the introduction of various dignitaries, including Senator George Akume, Secretary to the Government of the Federation who represented President Bola Tinubu, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, Governor Godwin Obaseki, and Former Governor Ifeanyi Okowa. As each dignitary was introduced, the church remained silent. However, the atmosphere dramatically changed when the name of Former Governor James Ibori was announced; the congregation erupted in wide jubilation and applause. This reaction was so profound that even Senator George Akume and Governor Obaseki could not hide their astonishment. The enthusiastic reception for Chief James Ibori during this solemn occasion highlighted his enduring legacy among the people of Delta State. Despite having left office seventeen years ago, he continues to be celebrated whenever he attends public functions i...
