The immediate past Deputy President of the Nigerian Senate, Obarisi Ovie Omo-Agege, has finally broken his silence on the defection of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, his predecessor, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, and the entire PDP structure in Delta State into the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Senator Omo-Agege instructed all relevant organs of the party at the state to welcome the decampees into the party, assuring that all key issues regarding the development are being considered by the national leadership of the party and other critical stakeholders.
In a statement personally signed by him, Omo-Agege also urged all members of the party to turn out en masse to receive Governor Oborevwori and other leaders who dumped the PDP for the APC.
The statement reads:
The leadership of the Delta State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) warmly welcomes His Excellency, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, and all leaders and members of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) into the All Progressives Congress (APC).

5.. This development reaffirms our commitment to progressive governance, promising a brighter future for our people and a more prosperous, secure, and united Nigeria. Together, we will work tirelessly to achieve greatness for Delta State and Nigeria.
6.. I also take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to President Bola Tinubu for his political sagacity and visionary leadership, as well as to the National Chairman and the entire National Working Committee of the APC for their unwavering support and tireless efforts.
