DELTA: The Delta State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is facing significant challenges as over 5,000 members, including prominent figures, have defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC). 

Notable among the defectors are Senator Ned Nwoko, Erhiatake Ibori-Suenu, former House of Representatives member Nicholas Ossai, Chief Great Ovedje Ogboru, and former Commissioner Chika Ossai. 

In response to the defections, PDP State Chairman Solomon Arenyinka has summoned an emergency meeting with Governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s political aides and other stakeholders to address the situation. 

The meeting is scheduled for on Thursday, 12 noon at the PDP State Secretariat in Asaba, the state capital.
