President Bola Tinubu on Tuesday in Aso Rock hosted Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, to a closed-door meeting.
The meeting marked the Governor’s first official engagement with the President since his high-profile defection to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) from the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), on April 23.
Oborevwori defected to APC alongside his predecessor, former PDP vice presidential candidate, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, and Deputy Governor of the State, Monday Onyeme.
Also defecting with the governor were members of his cabinet, local government chairmen, and influential grassroots figures—making him the first sitting Delta governor to exit the PDP since the return to democracy in 1999.
After the governor’s defection, the Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly, Hon Emomotimi Guwor, has also crossed over to the APC along with 21 members of the House.
