As preparations for the 2023 governorship election in Delta State gets hotter by the day, the ambition of Sheriff Oborevwori, a stooge of Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, got a devastating blow as the former Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly (DTHA), Rt. Hon. Monday Igbuya, may have dumped the ruling Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) for the All Progressives Congress (APC).
On Tuesday January 10th 2023, news filtered into town that Igbuya, has returned to APC after he left PDP for some time and later returned.
Igbuya who was sighted with Andrew Odibo, another politician in PDP in a viral photo with the Delta State APC gubernatorial candidate, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege on Sunday was said to have met the Deputy Senate President at his abode in Warri to pledge his loyalty, as part of his return.
The meeting was said to have been facilitated by an APC chieftain in the state who left the PDP years ago, who had earlier informed Senator Omo-Agege of the new development in the party.
The former Speaker did not pick his call when Oasis Magazine tried reaching out to him to react, but Chief Paulinus Akpeki, the Delta Central APC chairman confirmed that Igbuya had decided to dump the PDP again.
“Yes, he has come back to the party again, this I can authoritatively tell you,” he told Vanguard.
Recall that Igbuya had left the Peoples Democratic Party for the APC in 2018, a year after he was impeached as the speaker of the house and replaced by the current Delta State House of Assembly Speaker and gubernatorial candidate of the PDP, Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori.
He later obtained an APC nomination form and contested for the seat of Sapele/Okpe/Uvwie federal constituency of Delta State in the House of Representatives, which he lost.
