Following the defection of Delta State governor Sheriff Oborevwori to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), President Bola Tinubu on Tuesday held a closed-door meeting with the governor at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
New Telegraph gathered that the governor arrived at the State House at approximately 3:45 p.m. and thereafter had his first official engagement with the President since his recent high-profile defection.
It would be recalled that Oborevwori, a former Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly, was a key figure in the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) before making headlines on April 23 when he led a dramatic political shift in the state.
Alongside his predecessor, former PDP vice presidential candidate Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, and Deputy Governor Monday Onyeme, Oborevwori formally joined the APC after a strategic meeting held in Asaba.
Days after the governor and the PDP in the oil-rich state were officially received into the APC, some members of the House of Representatives from the state announced their movement into the leading party.
