This defection of PDP politicians in Delta State to APC shows that these guys don't how to play politics at all! It's after their actions they're now thinking about structure. They didn't add structure to their political calculations before moving?

APC is well organised not like LP or PDP.

The Governor is the party leader.

Others will queue behind him.
not so in Lagos, sanwolu has no say,even obasa get level pass him,is Lagos not an APC state,so it's not always true that the governor is the leader of the party in the state

And that this why political parties are collapsing. No way this fellow who just defected, can now claim the leadership of the party, by the mere fact of being a governor. It makes no sense, but this is the nonsense practised in this country and has led it nowhere.

Party leadership must be separated from the governor of a state. Just like Sim and Wike. So Sim is now the leader of PDP in the state? Who will respect him? We must leave party leadership to those with the capacity. Some times, a governor may possess this quality, but it shouldn't be automatic.

When political parties have no ideologies, this is what happens.

The catastrophe waiting to hit APC by the time the PDP nitwits are done defecting is learning from what PDP is currently suffering from.
It's simple.....Omo agege and Ned simply gets senatorial tickets or Omo agege replaces keyamo as minister and keyamo gets a parastatal to head.....a major and strategic one maybe NDdC or nimasa for omo agege.....also campaign season is coming and tinubu still needs keyamo to repeat the great job he did in the last election campaigns......sheriff and Okowa retains the state as their sphere of influence.
Re: Who Is Now The Party Leader In Delta State? (images) by Celestialsword:
The state governor is the de facto leader of the party in the state.

There's is no cause for alarm because elective positions will be shared to compensate some party members.

Omo agege which is the major contending force will likely be going back to the Senate and he might be rewarded with the Senate president.

Festus keyamo although not a formidable force in the party will also be given a ticket to the house of representatives.

Ogboru, Ibori,Okowa, James manager will be kingmakers in the party in the state.

Okowa decamped to avert arrest and probe by EFCC.

I see Ned nwoko, decamping to another political party to pursue his political ambition for governor of Delta state.

You will see next year that it's not easy the way you people see it, thre would be alot of infighting in many states, because of imposition from the centre, meanwhile, the impostor himself would be battle for his own reelection.


I'm very sure, the Gov would have it in mind, people loyal to him that he would be backing to be senator, rep, assembly, the same way other gladiators have theirs.

Wen it gets to that stage, those that are loosing out won't send Tinubu again, it would be fight to finish. They are still respecting him for now, because tomorrow still be clouded with uncertainty, but wen the chips are down......

I love this drama.
Soon Oborevwori will know that Okowa used his political career to sacrifice for his freedom with EFCC.
If at all he will get the ticket in APC, then he should thank his star's.
He has a lot lions to conquer, including the mobilizer himself, Omo Agege.
2027, will be like a Bollywood movie.
Do you think sheriff hasn't done due diligence on this .....you think u just wake up from bed and decide to shift parties as a seating gov? Do you even know how much resources is at the behest of a gov in delta state?

By the same next year, when nothing happens you will shift goal post.

Focus on your party leave APC matters. We will manage our issues well.

Oga, Oborevwori is an infant politician when compared to those he is going to dine with in the APC.
We all knew how he became the speaker, how he was a mumu speaker to Okowa to allow Okowa to use Delta state as a collateral to borrow loans upon loans and they all shared the money.
We also know how Okowa did everything possible to compensate his loyalty by making him the Governor.
The choice for Oborevwori to decamp to the APC is not his choice. Even as a Seating Governor he is still a loyal house boy to Okowa.
He does not have the balls to say no.
Time Will tell.
Just save this post, so we could refer to it soon.
Re: Who Is Now The Party Leader In Delta State? (images) by IMPARTIAL: 1:07pm On May 02, 2025
Na Ibori.

Ibori is an official member of the APC just like Wike.

It is no longer news that the present governor of Delta State, His Excellency Mr. Sheriff has crosscarpeted to the ruling All Progressives Congress(APC). His reasons are best known to Him and Him alone. But we all know it is for his selfish interest and not in the interest of his people.

Also, the immediate past governor and Vice-presidential candidate for PDP in last general elections, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa has also left the PDP for APC. He alone knows why.

Then again, we have Senator Ned Nwoko, husband of Nigeria's Nollywood screen goddess, Regina Daniels who decamped from the PDP to APC. He has his motives for this.

We also have the Minister of aviation and former minister of state for labour and employment, Mr. Festus Keyamo who has been a member of the APC for some time now.
We also have the former Deputy Senate President, Ovie OmoAgege. Who has been the Memeber of this party for some years now.

The question is, who is the party leader in Delta State at this point in time?. We all know that the sitting governor of a state is the recognized leader of his party in same state. But in APC, I seem not to understand. Recall Tinubu was the party leader of APC when Buhari was in power? Meanwhile it was Buhari the president who was supposed to be the leader of the party but BAT snatched, grabbed and ran away with the Title.

There is a power tussle in Delta State.
Its a showdown, a battle of supremacy.
The highest elective political office holder is the party leader in a state, in the case of state, the leader of the rulling party is the governor. However politics and it's game is more than holding official position, that's where power play comes in. The sitting governor might be the leader but not have the party structure. Tinubu was called national leader of APC (from the days of AC to ACN and to APC) because of the power he wields in the party, he even made it known at a time that Buhari has the president is the party national leader. In the case of Delta state, the sitting governor is the party leader but they will not surrender the party structure to him or any other new entrant just like that. At their next party congress, they will share the structure.

Imagination of the writer to create disaffection and crisis. The Gov of the state is the leader and both Keyamo and Omo Agege have confirmed this. What the leadership at the headquarters are doing now is to work out positions for the old and new APC in the coming 2027 election.

Okowa is the leader of Delta APC.

He is the Godfather of Gov Sheriff Oborevwori and all the Commissioners. cool

Only a FOOL will try to Challenge him. undecided

Even Ibori know this, that's why he has decided to hide jejely in one corner. embarassed

Okowa simply went to APC to Checkmate Ibori, Omo-agege Ned Nwoko and even Tinibu.

In 2027, If he there is PETER OBI tsunami again, he will still make Obi win the state like in 2023. cool smiley

Get your facts right and stop these beer parlour analysis.

Okowa joined APC to avert arrest and probe from EFCC,he has no voice and nobody will listen to him, he's already a spent force.

Sheriff Oborevwori joined APC in order to secure his second term.

The rest decampees are insignificant as most of them followed their leaders as is characteristics in Nigeria politics.

Okowa is a serial betrayer,one who betrayed the entire south south region

Please remove KEYAMO from that list.

Dude is a paperweight politician! An opportunist ejo can't even win his polling unit. An ordinary Abuja politician with no grassroot support back home. Only to be running his mouth online like someone who has diarhoear of the mouth.

He has never contested and won any election in his life. The same way he has never won any high profile case but became a SAN anyways. He contested for Senate after the sudden demise of Hon. Akpor Pius Ewerhido, he lost woefully.

All the people on that list are seasoned politicians with the machinery to win election any day any time twice on Friday. Okowa fought Ibori's electoral machinery to a standstill and won. Ned Nwoko single handedly won his senatorial election. Ovie Omo-Agege has been in politics since the days of Uduaghan, he was once the Secretary to the State Government. He single handedly raised the profile of APC in Delta state. He Won senatorial election twice and even sponsored other APC candidates.

Paperweight politicians like Keyamo shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence as these heavyweights. It's an insult!

PS- I see Omo-Agege decamping in the coming days.
😂😂😂

You can be a party Leader in a State, yet don't own the party's structure. For instance, fubara is the PDP party leader in Rivers state, but the party's structure is in the hands of wike
Re: Who Is Now The Party Leader In Delta State? (images) by armadeo(m): 3:28pm On May 02, 2025
Keyamo and ned were never in the race.

They're trying to chance omo-agege.

Sheriff is the top dog but is he loyal to okowa. Time would tell.

He is not entirely wrong. Okowa joined the APC to avert arrest but he's the Godfather of Sheriff, who is now the party leader.

Okowa still holds the PDP structure in the state, and now has the APC through Sheriff.

Remember APC has internal crisis (factions).
