Great Ogboru, former Delta State Governorship Candidate, has dumped the All Progressives Congress, APC, for the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Coalition.
Ogboru, a prominent political figure in Delta Politics, officially defected to the ADC from the ruling APC.
His defection was formally confirmed on Friday July 18, 2025, by the Delta State Chairman of the Party, Engr. Austine Okolie, who welcomed Ogboru into the ADC fold.
Political observers have described Ogboru’s sudden defection as another attempt to hijack the structure of the ADC in Delta State for personal and strategic gain.
Some quarters alleged that Ogboru’s defection was orchestrated by political interests who mistakenly believe that Senator Ovie Omo-Agege would defect to the ADC.
This dramatic move comes just months after Ogboru’s highly publicized defection to the APC, a party he once vehemently opposed.
Ogboru’s sudden move to the ADC is raising serious questions about his political motives, long-term strategy, and credibility among his supporters.
The latest realignment is part of a broader coalition strategy to undermine the political influence of former Deputy Senate President, Obarisi Ovie Omo-Agege, who is a formidable figure within the APC and Delta State politics at large.
The ADC, traditionally is a fringe Party in Delta State, but the defection of Ogboru to the Party has raised poser that the CEO of Fiogeret Fishing Company seems to be positioning itself as a possible third force in the 2027 elections.
Political observers are of the opinion that Ogboru is a serial loser, who has failed in his quest to be Delta State Governor, losing three times at polls, twice to former Governor, Emmanuel Eweta Uduaghan and once to former Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa.
