Senator Joel-Onowakpo Thomas, representing Delta South Senatorial District, has congratulated Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, and members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on their official defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
In a statement shared on his official Facebook page, Senator Joel-Onowakpo described the move as a “historic moment” for both Delta State and Nigeria, signaling what he called “a new dawn” for the state’s political future. He welcomed the governor and the defecting PDP members into the APC fold, praising the decision as a bold step toward unity, development, and progressive governance.
“Today marks a historic moment for Delta State and Nigeria as a whole,” the senator wrote. “I warmly welcome His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, the Executive Governor of Delta State, and all members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) who have defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC).”
According to Senator Joel-Onowakpo, the move reflects a significant shift in the state’s political landscape and aligns with the federal government’s Renewed Hope agenda led by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. He emphasized the importance of unity and collaboration within the APC, urging party members to embrace the new entrants with “open arms and a spirit of camaraderie.”
“This new chapter sets the stage for greater collaboration, impactful governance, and a more inclusive political process,” he said. “We’ll build a Delta State that reflects the aspirations of all her people.”
The senator reaffirmed his commitment to working towards a united and prosperous Delta State, assuring constituents that the defection would bolster the APC’s capacity to deliver democratic dividends to the people.
He concluded by congratulating Governor Oborevwori and the new APC members, expressing confidence that their decision would mark the beginning of a transformative era in Delta State politics.
The defection, considered a major political realignment in the state, is expected to significantly alter the power dynamics ahead of the next general elections.
