Speculation is mounting concerning the political future of Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, former Delta State Governor and Atiku Abubakar’s running mate in the last presidential election.
Sources suggest the alignment with the All Progressives Congress, APC, was a possible strategic move towards the 2027 elections.
While Deltans wonders about the need to defect, anonymous sources within the Delta State government indicate that Okowa’s recent political activities, including a reported campaign for the PDP in Ika North East Local Government Area just yesterday, are being viewed with scrutiny.
This maybe unconnected with the Defection of the Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori to the All Progressives Congress, APC and to maintain his political stake in the State
Further fueling speculation is the possibility of a cabinet reshuffle by the current Delta State Governor, which could see the inclusion of APC members, potentially impacting Okowa’s political standing within the state.
The close source also hinted about the worries of the governor’s intention to dissolve cabinet, which will give room to accommodate the members of APC.
