Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori has dismissed allegations suggesting he plans to leave the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the All Progressives Congress (APC). The denial follows comments by Delta North Senator Ned Nwoko, who recently joined the APC and claimed at a political gathering in Agbor that the governor was preparing to defect but was “not welcome” in the party. Nwoko made the statement during the official defection of Delta Unity Group members from the PDP to the APC. Responding to the claims, Governor Oborevwori, through the Director-General of the Delta State Orientation and Communications Bureau, Fred Oghenesivbe, described the remarks as laughable and without merit. “We don’t have time for Ned Nwoko,” Oghenesivbe said. “Both the commissioner, Charles Aniagwu, and I have previously clarified that the governor has no intention of defecting.” He further challenged Nwoko to provide credible evidence to support his claims. “Did Governor Sheriff tell Nwoko that he is coming to the APC? You, journalists, should ask Ned Nwoko whether Sheriff approached him about coming to the APC. “If Oborevwori didn’t approach Nwoko about joining the APC, where did Nwoko get that information, for him to even be saying Sheriff is not welcome in the APC? It doesn’t make sense to anybody.”
