The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, has publicly praised President Bola Tinubu for his leadership, following a sweeping political shift in Delta State that saw Governor Sheriff Oborevwori and his cabinet defect from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Keyamo expressed his gratitude in a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday, shortly after the announcement. He also shared a video of the governor and his commissioners singing the pro-Tinubu anthem “On Your Mandate,” symbolizing their allegiance to the President and the ruling party.
“Today is the day the Lord has made in Delta State. Finally, finally Delta is APC! Thank you, Mr. President, for your leadership that has attracted the best to our Party. Thank you, my leader & Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, for your foresight and courage in taking this bold decision,” Keyamo posted.
Delta State, long considered a stronghold of the PDP, witnessed a significant political realignment as top PDP leaders, including immediate past governor and 2023 PDP vice presidential candidate Ifeanyi Okowa, joined the APC.
Senator James Manager confirmed the defection, stating, “All PDP members in the state, including the governor, former Governor Okowa, the Speaker, the state party chairman, and all local government chairmen, had agreed to join the APC. We cannot continue to be in a sinking boat.”
This mass defection marks a turning point in Delta’s political landscape, as the state shifts its allegiance to the ruling party ahead of the 2027 general elections.
