The immediate past State Organising Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP),  Hon Emmanuel Egbabor, Hon. Joseph Otheremu, former federal commissioner, Public Complaint Commission, 

a former House of Assembly aspirant, Hon Orobosa Ashaka, other key stakeholders of the party and their followers in Ozoro ward 3 (Isoko North 11) have registered and collected their membership cards of All Progressives Congress (APC).

Speaking during the registration and collection of the cards, Egbabor, who led  mammoth crowd from the ward, said they have all since defected to the APC alongside His Excellency, Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori and other stakeholders across the State, noting that they are only completing the processes that qualified them to be full members of their new party. He said that their decisions to defect align with that of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, former Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, and other key leaders. 

He said; "We needed to make a decision that would further help to cement the development in our State, Isoko North Local Government and Ozoro kingdom, as well as to further advance the welfare of our people, and, to a large extent, ensure that development in Delta State,  Isoko  North Local Government and Ozoro are not truncated.

"We are losing opportunities in terms of federal jobs and appointments; the benefits from the federal level, as well as federal interventions, are not reaching us because of party differences. But now that we are in APC,  we are optimistic that our interests will be protected." 

On his part, Hon Orobosa Ashaka, a former House of Assembly aspirant for PDP in the 2023 general elections, said "It was important we took a position, and the position we took is for the good of our democracy and to ensure that the good people of Ozoro Ward III and Isoko North Constituency move forward.

Receiving the decampees at the APC Party Ward secretariat, the Ward Chairman, Mr Michael Owhofasa popularly known as A-ONE, expressed delight in the magnitude of leaders and members of the PDP that have trooped in to join the APC. He welcomed and congratulated them for joining the ruling party with an assurance that they would not regret their decision.

He described many of the decampees as leaders and solid members of the PDP, assuring them that the APC would provide equal opportunities and privileges for both old and new members, adding that the party doors were still open for others to join.

While calling on existing APC members to welcome the decampees with open arms, the Isoko North Local Government Chairman of the APC,  Barr Daniel Emebunor enjoined all members of the party to remain united in order to continue to move the wheel of progress of the State forward.

Earlier on in their separate remarks, the leader of APC in Ozoro Ward III and Ozoro kingdom, Elder Emmanuel Adolaji and Prince William Omoviro, popularly known as KINGIBE, said, APC remains the only party worthy to join that does the right thing by delivering the true dividends of democracy to citizens, positing that those they are receiving from the PDP, are stronghold, dedicated, hardworking leaders and members, asserting that their coming to APC will make the party stronger than how its was in previous elections.
