In a significant political shift, Mrs. Ogor Obuh, wife of the late Anthony Chuks Obuh, a former governorship aspirant under the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Delta State has attributed her defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC) to divine guidance.
A former stalwart of the PDP in Oki, Ika South Local Government Area, Mrs. Obuh made this revelation during the maiden meeting of APC Ward 6, held at the party’s secretariat in Alihame, Ika South.
The gathering which was organized to welcome new members from the Delta Unity Group, underscored the APC’s growing momentum in the region as preparations for the 2027 general elections intensify.
Reacting, the ward, Chairman Mr. Nduka Erikume celebrated the ward’s expanding membership, declaring, “We are now the dominant force. Unity and focus are essential for our continued success.” He urged members to foster peace and redouble their efforts in recruiting new members.
Addressing the gathering, Mrs. Obuh commended the progress made by the APC in Ward 6, affirming, “God directed me here. The PDP’s era is over; unity will bring us victory.”
Echoing similar sentiments, Chief Dr. Phillip Onyekpe, another notable defector, cited “imposition and intimidation” within the PDP as his reasons for crossing over. He charged APC members to “liberate our people from oppression,” while warning against those who might seek personal gain within the party.
- “The APC is the vehicle for genuine freedom,” he declared, rallying members to stay committed to the party’s ideals.
