Ibori, Join the List of Defectors in Delta?
In Nigerian politics, Delta State has become the latest stage where defections pirouette with poetic irony. Once a fortress of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), the state is now witnessing a slow, rhythmic unravelling, almost musical in its inevitability.
Last week, the Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly, Dennis Guwor, announced, with what some call calculated grace, his departure, along with 21 lawmakers, to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). Days earlier, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori and his predecessor Ifeanyi Okowa had made their own choreographed exit, leaving the PDP’s state chapter resembling a house emptied of its furniture but not its ghosts.
