Preparations are in top gear in Asaba, Delta State, as the All Progressives Congress gears up to welcome Governor Sheriff Oborevwori and several former members of the Peoples Democratic Party into its fold.
The atmosphere in the state capital is electric, with the arrival of key APC leaders, including the Party’s National Chairman, Alhaji Umar Ganduje. Convoys bearing the APC insignia and images of President Bola Tinubu streamed into the city from various directions.
Also in Asaba to grace the occasion are Governor Monday Okpebholo of Edo State, Governor Prince Bassey Otu of Cross River State, Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State, and former Edo State Governor, Senator Adams Oshiomhole, among other top-ranking APC officials.
The city’s major streets and bridges are now adorned with billboards and posters featuring President Tinubu, as political activities intensify ahead of the mega rally scheduled for today.
Governor Oborevwori is expected to be formally received into the APC at the rally, where Vice President Kashim Shettima will serve as Special Guest of Honour.
Meanwhile, allegations of pressure from the presidency on opposition members to defect have surfaced. However, the presidency maintains that all defections are voluntary, emphasizing its commitment to democratic principles.
