Conflicting reports have emerged regarding the future of the Delta Political Vanguard (DPV), led by Hon. Michael Ejele (Diden), a former two-term member of the Delta State House of Assembly and ex-DESOPADEC (Delta State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission) Chairman
The DPV, who was instrumental in securing the 2023 gubernatorial victory for Governor Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, is now at the center of speculation about a potential alliance with the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Sources close to Hon. Ejele, speaking on condition of anonymity, alleged that the reason for the purported alliance was unconnected to the dissatisfaction with the distribution of political rewards from Governor Oborevwori, despite huge sacrifice made before and during the elections
These sources claim that the perceived lack of “political largesse” was a key factor in Hon. Ejele’s deliberations.
However, other sources offer a contrasting narrative, suggesting that Hon. Ejele was not considering leaving the PDP but Instead, they assert that he was prepared to support the APC, and Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the national level, following directives from Governor Oborevwori.
At the time of this report, neither of these conflicting accounts could be independently verified. Attempts to reach Hon. Ejele’s comments were unsuccessful. Further developments are anticipated as this situation unfolds.
