The dust raised by the tsunami-like mass defection in Delta State early this week is yet to settle, as some have been commending the state governor, Sheriff Oborevwori for taking the bold step to lead the change. Joining those hailing Oborevwori for crossing to the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC is successful property merchant, High Chief Peter Alex Nwoseh.
Governor Oborevwori and his predecessor, Ifeanyi Okowa, led their supporters into the APC in a grand event in Asaba, Monday April 28. Nwoseh, the Mayegun of Isheri Olofin Awori land, believes that connecting to the central government at Abuja will further enhance the good performance of Governor Oborevwori.
The Lagos-based frontline property merchant had earlier joined the APC a few weeks back. He and other defectors to the APC were received into his Ward in Ashaka/Ushie Ndokwa East, Delta State, by the ward chairman, Iyesele Ikechukwu Sunday, who also handed over to them their membership cards.
Nwoseh said the new realignment is good for the whole of Delta State. “We in Delta State cannot afford to be left behind. Now that the state has connected to the centre, I believe that Governor Sheriff Oborovwori will be more equipped to do more for the state,” Nwoseh said.
