Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, has expressed delight over the return of former member of the Delta State House of Assembly, Hon. Collins Egbetamah, to the All Progressives Congress (APC), describing his decision as a welcome development for the party.
Oborevwori publicly acknowledged and welcomed Egbetamah’s return at a political rally at Otor-Udu , headquarters of Udu Local Government Areas with hundreds of his supporters, expressing happiness that the former lawmaker had decided to rejoin the ruling party after a brief exit to pursue his political ambition.
Egbetamah, while announcing his return, said his initial departure from the APC was motivated by personal political ambition and not as a result of any disagreement with the party or its leadership.
He said he had left the party to explore his political aspirations and demonstrate his capacity, adding that his achievements had now encouraged him to return to the APC.
“By the special grace of God, the results I have achieved have brought me here today to rejoin the APC.
“In life, everybody has aspirations, and I also have mine. My aspiration was what made me leave the APC and join another party.
It was not because anything went wrong within the APC. Nothing happened between me and the party. I left simply because of my personal political ambition,” he said.
The former lawmaker expressed happiness over his return, describing the APC as the right political platform for him and pledging to work with the governor and other party leaders to strengthen the party.
He urged party members and his teeming supporters to put their differences aside and close ranks ahead of the 2027 general elections, insisting that unity and collective commitment were necessary to secure victory.
Egbetamah said the party was targeting a five-over-five victory in the forthcoming elections, urging members to mobilise support for President Bola Tinubu, Governor Oborevwori and other APC candidates.
“We want APC to win five over five in the forthcoming elections. Our target is clear, and we must all work together to achieve it.
“We must put our differences aside, unite and support the governor and other party leaders. If we work together, we will achieve our collective aspirations, and everybody will be happy,” he added.
He reaffirmed his readiness to work with all stakeholders to ensure the party’s success, declaring his support for the APC’s five-over-five agenda.
A massive crowd of supporters, loved ones and well wishes accompany him to storm the venue of the rally with singing and drumming in demonstration of his grassroot appeal and intimidating support base.
