Chief Great Ogboru, a prominent politician in Delta State, Nigeria, has expressed his enthusiastic welcome to the influx of former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leaders into the All Progressives Congress (APC). He characterized this political realignment as a pivotal moment not only for Delta State but also for the nation as a whole. Ogboru, who was the APC’s gubernatorial candidate in Delta State in 2019, believes that the defection of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, his predecessor Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, and numerous other high-ranking PDP members signifies a profound shift in the state’s political landscape, ushering in an era of renewed hope and collaboration.
This mass exodus from the PDP to the APC, according to Ogboru, represents a historic turning point. It underscores the growing influence and appeal of the APC, particularly under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. By aligning Delta State with the ruling party at the federal level, Ogboru anticipates a more harmonious and productive relationship between the state and the national government. This synergy, he believes, will pave the way for enhanced collaboration, impactful governance, and a more inclusive political process, ultimately benefiting the people of Delta State through improved infrastructure and human capital development.
Ogboru sees the arrival of these former PDP stalwarts into the APC fold as an opportunity to unify the state and accelerate its progress. He believes their collective experience and influence will bolster the APC’s ability to deliver on its promises and effectively implement President Tinubu’s “Renewed Hope” agenda. He expressed confidence that this new alliance will foster an environment conducive to achieving the shared goals of development and prosperity for Delta State and Nigeria. He views this as a collective effort, a partnership aimed at building a brighter future for all.
This political shift, according to Ogboru, carries immense significance for Delta State. He envisions this realignment as a catalyst for realizing the long-held aspirations of the people of Delta State. By working together under the APC banner, he believes the state can unlock its full potential and achieve unprecedented levels of development and prosperity. This new chapter in Delta State’s political history, he maintains, will be characterized by unity, progress, and a shared commitment to the betterment of the state.
Ogboru extended a warm welcome to Governor Oborevwori, Senator Okowa, and all the other PDP members who have crossed over to the APC. He congratulated them on their decision, emphasizing the transformative potential of this political realignment. He believes that their joining the APC represents a significant step towards building a more united and prosperous Delta State. Their combined efforts, he asserts, will be instrumental in driving the “Renewed Hope” agenda forward and creating a better future for all.
The defection of these prominent PDP figures into the APC has created a sense of optimism and anticipation in Delta State. Ogboru’s welcoming statement underscores the potential of this political shift to usher in a new era of progress and collaboration. He envisions a future where Delta State, aligned with the federal government, works in unison to achieve its full potential. This, he believes, will be a testament to the power of unity and shared purpose in driving positive change for the betterment of the state and its people.
