Joining him are top PDP figures, including former vice-presidential candidate and former Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, senior administration officials, members of the House of Assembly, local government chairmen, councillors, and numerous grassroots supporters.
The ruling party stressed its readiness to fully integrate all the defectors.
“Our great party welcomes this important development and assures the governor, as well as incoming leaders and members of Delta PDP, of our fullest cooperation and accommodation within the APC family,” the statement added.
It also highlighted the broader significance of the move, noting it would strengthen both Delta State and national development efforts under the President Bola Tinubu-led administration.
“We are delighted that Delta State now stands poised to contribute maximally to the success and realisation of the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and the enduring good and prosperity of Deltans and all Nigerians,” the statement added.
