“Gov Oborevwori Liability, Not Needed In Our Fold” – APC

By Suleiman Anyalewechi

The Delta State Chapter of the All Progressive Congress APC,  on Sunday January 12 , 2025, rubbished any chances of welcoming the State Governor, Sherrif Oborevwori into its fold .

It insisted that the party is  not in.any way a rehabilitation centre for failed and underperforming officials .

The APC’s position comes on the heels of sustained speculations about the possible defection of the   Governor from his Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to APC.

Although Governor  Oborevwori has denied the defection rumours ,the issue still occupies prominent space within public discourse.

But in a statement by its Spokesperson, Valentine Onojeghuo on Sunday,  the APC emphatically noted that it is not interested in harbouring political opportunist and failed politicians who are only concerned about their selfish interests .

The APC ,described the administration of Governor Oborevwori as “underperforming , and tainted by widespread disappointments.”

According to the party, the PDP led administration in Delta has not been able to meet even the minimal level of meaningful development,  or deliver any tangible dividends to the people.

The APC noted that while it respects and  admits the rights of individuals to freely join  any political associations of their choice ,it nevertheless expressed serious reservations over the Governor’s speculated intentions to join the party .

The party ,insisted that there is nothing to be enthusiastic about someone who has so far failed to impact the people positively ,with almost a monthly Federal Allocation of N 50 billion .

While noting the Governor’s admiration for President Bola Tinubu, who is the National Leader of the Party, the APC described the Governor as a liability going by his alleged mindless squandering of the commonwealth of Deltans.

“Deltans are disillusioned by the glaring failures of this adminstration and we remain steadfast on our mission to bring sustainable development through visionary leadership”, APC stated .
