Delta’s shift to APC a united move for state’s good – Ahon

By Anne Azuka 

The Chief Press Secretary, CPS,  to Governor Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta State, Sir Festus Ahon has said that the governor’s switch along with former Governor Ifeanyi Okowa and the entire state PDP structure to the All Progressives Congress, APC was a joint decision aimed squarely at protecting Delta’s best interests.

Speaking on Yanga FM’s “Wetin Dey Happen,” Ahon described the defection as a “political tsunami”, adding that, in politics, “there is that notion that there is no permanent friend and no permanent enemy, but permanent interests. Right now, our interest is to align with the government at the centre for the benefit of Delta and the people.”

Ahon stressed that Oborevwori, known for deep grassroots ties, did not act unilaterally, saying; “after wide consultations with party leaders and stakeholders, everyone agreed to move to the APC. It wasn’t just the governor’s call; it was the collective will of Delta PDP.”

The shift, he added, was expected to draw more Federal Government projects and attention to the state.

Dismissing claims that former governor Ifeanyi Okowa joined the APC to dodge EFCC investigations, Ahon called the allegation “baseless political witch‑hunting,” expressing optimism that Okowa would ultimately be cleared.

He urged all Deltans to rally behind President Bola Tinubu’s administration in Abuja and Governor Oborevwori’s administration in Asaba for the state’s overall development.
