Delta PDP In Emergency Meeting With Gov’s Aides After Wave of Defection The Delta State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party has called an emergency meeting with political aides to Governor Sheriff Oborevwori following a wave of defections to the All Progressives Congress.
Over 5,000 PDP members, containing Senator Ned Nwoko, Erhiatake Ibori-Suenu, former House of Representatives member Nicholas Ossai, Chief Great Ovedje Ogboru, former Commissioner Chika Ossai, and Dr Chris Okobah, recently dumped the party for the APC, citing internal crises and alleging the governor of high-handedness.
Sources revealed more or less of the governor’s key allies, to crown all those instrumental to his 2023 election victory, are further considering leaving the party, prompting the PDP leadership to muster the meeting in a bid to include the situation.
In a statement on Wednesday in Asaba, the state PDP chairman, Solomon Areyinka, directed all political aides to the governor to attend the meeting scheduled for Thursday at the party’s secretariat.
“The PDP Delta State Chapter has invited the Senior Political Adviser to the Governor, Senator Emmanuel Aguariavwodo, and other political aides to an interactive session to dialogue conditional party matters,” the statement read.
“The meeting, which will involve the State Party Chairman and members of the State Working Committee, is compulsory for all Executive Assistants, Senior Special Assistants, and Special Assistants on Political Matters to the Governor.”
The meeting is scheduled for noon on Thursday, March 20, 2025, at the PDP State Secretariat in Asaba.
