Senator James Manager announced Governor Oborevwori’s defection at a press briefing attended by former governor Ifeanyi Okowa, who was Abubakar Atiku’s running mate in the 2023 election.
Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly, Emomotimi Guor, and other PDP stalwarts also attended the briefing.
James Manager told the press after a meeting of the PDP stakeholders in Government House that a formal declaration would be made on Monday.
