Some governors elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress have arrived in Asaba, the Delta State capital, to join other chieftains of the party in receiving Governor Sheriff Oborevwori into their fold.
The Eagle Online recalls that Oborevwori and his predecessor, Ifeanyi Okowa, last week defected from the Peoples Democratic Party.
Monday (today) was fixed over the weekend for the formal reception of Oborevwori and Dr. Okowa, the vice presidential candidate of the PDP in the 2023 elections, into the APC.
