In a significant boost to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta State, Chief Itiako Ikpokpo, a two-term chairman of Isoko South Local Government Area, has defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the APC.

Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, the former Deputy President of the Senate and leader of Delta State APC, welcomed Ikpokpo into the party fold at a grand reception in Uro-Irri on Saturday.

Omo-Agege described the PDP as a party that represents retrogression and lacks ideas to stimulate economic growth, stating that its grip on Delta is rapidly crumbling.

“The PDP is a party that represents retrogression and lacks ideas to stimulate economic growth,” Omo-Agege said. “Its grip on Delta is rapidly crumbling.”

The APC made historic gains in the 2023 election, securing two senatorial seats, two House of Representatives seats, and seven House of Assembly seats—a feat never before achieved by an opposition party in the state.

According to Omo-Agege, the party is now poised to win Delta State in 2027, which he attributed to President Bola Tinubu’s economic policies which have created an enabling environment for economic growth despite initial challenges.

“President Bola Tinubu’s economic policies have created an enabling environment for economic growth despite initial challenges.

“Delta State’s revenue has surged under Tinubu’s administration, with the state receiving over ₦1 trillion in allocations within a period of one and a half years,”Omo-Agege said.

Chief Itiako Ikpokpo pledged to work tirelessly to strengthen the APC’s structure in Delta State.

He urged party members to welcome new entrants with open arms, emphasizing the critical role of unity in defeating the PDP in 2027.
