Delta APC Orders Immediate Registration of PDP Defectors Without Precondition

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta State has directed all its Local Government and Ward Chairmen to immediately commence the registration of newly defected members from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) without any form of precondition or documentation, including resignation letters from their former party.

The directive was issued by the APC State Chairman, Elder Omeni Sobotie, through the party’s State Publicity Secretary, Valentine Onojeghuo, Esq.

“This directive follows the unprecedented political realignment witnessed on the 28th of April, 2025, during which the entire executive structure of the PDP — spanning from the Ward level to the State level — joined His Excellency Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori and other leaders to formally defect to the APC,” the party stated.

Describing the development as a “momentous” one that signals a new era for the APC in Delta State, the party called for inclusivity and unity in integrating the defectors.

“All Party functionaries at the grassroots — Local Government Chairmen and Ward Chairmen — are hereby instructed to eliminate any bureaucratic hurdles, red tape or procedural bottlenecks that may hinder the seamless registration and integration of these new members,” the statement said.

“Any act capable of alienating or discouraging our new entrants from participating fully in Party activities shall not be tolerated.”

The party emphasized that the defection marks a period of strategic consolidation and growth for the APC in Delta State, urging party leaders to embrace the spirit of brotherhood and progressiveness.

“Let us work together to build a stronger, united APC that reflects the aspirations of all Deltans under the leadership of His Excellency Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, the Executive Governor of Delta State,” the statement added.
