Title: Governor Oborevwori's Eagerness for Ex-Governor Ibori's APC Arrival
Anticipated Switch of James Ibori Allegedly Heading Towards APC Party
Hold onto your hats, folks, 'cause Delta State's Governor Sheriff Oborevwori ain't holding back. He's all guns blazin' about welcome wagon duty for none other than the infamous James Ibori, former governor of the state, joining the All Progressives Congress (APC) fold.
This news comes hot off the heels of Oborevwori and other bigwigs jumping ship from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling party on April 23. The man doesn't beat around the bush—if you're sentimental, the fam's gonna fall apart, according to him.
The governor spilled the beans during a vigil mass at St. Andrew's Catholic Church in Otu-Jeremi. The occasion? Honoring the late Amos Utuama, Delta State's former deputy governor who passed away at 77 in 2025.
Now, Governor Oborevwori put on his moralizing hat and talked about the importance of unity, especially after the defection binge. He warned that if you're too emotional, the family will crumble, and the empire will shatter. He urged his political pals to sing from the same hymn sheet.
He didn't originally want to speak, but the Bishop said, "Speak, so people will hear." Once the politicians head home, he said, the family will go all over the place, and when they head to Abuja, they'll speak in different voices. And that ain't a family, buddy!
The governor stressed the importance of unity in their new political alignment. It's time to lead the party like a boss now. Directly addressing Ibori, he acknowledged Ibori's contributions to the political landscape and expressed his eagerness to see the ex-gov join the APC. "You've built a massive family, and the family needs to be united," he said.
Oborevwori and Ibori have kept friendly relations. He even asked the former governor when he'd finally join them, and he believes it's gonna happen real soon. They say a change is gonna come, and Oborevwori swears he'll welcome his leader to the APC in Jesus' name.
The political landscape in Delta State's been up in the air lately, with significant stratospheric shifts, especially after recent defections. In December 2024, Erhriatake Ibori-Suenu, the former governor's daughter, took off from the PDP and landed in the APC. Those defections signal a huge move towards the APC in the state.
On Sunday, Festus Keyamo, the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, put out a declaration that the APC structure in Delta State is now fully under the control of Governor Oborevwori.
Strangely enough, as of the latest reports up to April 30, 2025, Ibori hasn't officially announced his entrance to the APC dance. But don't you worry, that won't last for long!
