Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, has said his decision to join the All-Progressives Congress (APC) was to ensure unity, enhanced security and advanced development in the State.
Speaking in a statement hours after tearing up his Peoples Democratic Party membership card and pledging allegiance to the APC Oborevworie noted that the PDP has lost its verve and can no longer inspire the people of Delta State.
The statement reads, “The decision was taken to build the bond of love that have existed in our state, to further advance the cause of security and welfare of our people, and to a very large extent, ensure that development in Delta; because every politics is local.
“And in taking that decision we came to the inevitable conclusion that moving out of the PDP is very very necessary for us to be able to collaborate with our kith and kin and build that state that every Deltan will be proud of.
“We believe that what is happening, and the state of the PDP is akin to that palm wine whose taste has changed and there was a need for us to change the drinking pattern.
“And that is why this decision has been taken unanimously by leaders and stakeholders of the party.
“By the grace of God, Monday next week, we will be able to make a very big statement after the fact that we are moving into the APC.”
