Immediate past governor of Delta State, Ifeanyi Okowa, has dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Senator James Manager announced this on Wednesday in Asaba, the Delta State Capital, shortly after a meeting at Government House, Asaba.
Manager stated, “All PDP members in the state, including the governor, former Governor Okowa, the Speaker, the state party chairman, all the local government chairmen and others, have agreed to move to the APC. We cannot continue to be in a sinking boat.”
Before the announcement, Okowa said in his dialect, while addressing the people, that he would make the best decision.
