We Will Not Back Sheriff For Governor: PDD Defectors Declare

Admin

By Basil Okoh   It is now evident that many PDP members across Delta state did not join governor Sheriff and ex-governor Ifeanyi Okowa in their defection to the APC. What was expected to be a big stampede into APC, particularly by the big name politicians in PDP, didn’t just happen. What we are seeing instead is the drift back into the old PDP and the regrouping of those who refused to defect. The big names are still reticent and holding back, keeping their cards face down on the political…

Basil Okoh   Ika South PDP in Agbor was the first to sound the alarm over the attempt to stop their party meeting at their redoubt in Mariere Street, Agbor, right after Governor Sheriff Oborevwori announced the defection of the entire state PDP into the APC and asked every PDP organ to close their structures and individually register with APC in their wards. The state Chairman of the APC, Elder Omeni Sobotie thereafter announced the readiness of the APC organs at ward levels to receive and register every PDP defector.…

As Jim Derek Seizes The Gauntlet For Sheriff

I felt punished, not by the drivel he wrote, but by the effort I…

2027 ELECTIONS: TINUBU LOSES IN DELTA IF SHERIFF FIELDED BY APC

Admin

Basil Okoh   There are consequences for every diabolic action in politics. The meltdown in Delta PDP today is the direct result of the contemptible action of Okowa in imposing Sheriff as the governorship candidate of the party in 2022. He scorned the outrage raised by James Ibori and the formidable left wing of the party. Okowa was determined to dominate everyone, brooking no opposition, including that of his own godfather. He willfully spent whatever amount of government money demanded to buy the endorsement of Sheriff by the PDP screening…

Why Is Sheriff Running To APC?

Admin

By Basil Okoh   A powerful and sinister force has been unleashed on Delta APC. That force is sowing seeds of discord and undertaking a hostile takeover of the party itself. It’s a strong and powerful force operating with deep pockets and dashing boldness. A few days ago, Rev. Francis Waive, an APC member representing Ughelli North/Ughelli South/Udu Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives called on governor Sheriff Oborevwori to abandon PDP and run the next election as APC candidate. Waive assured the governor that the slot will be…
