Defection: PDP to sue Delta governor, others

Okowa

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) yesterday said it will sue Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori and other elected officials of the state, for defecting to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The party’s Acting National Chairman, Ilyas Damagum, said the intention is to retrieve their mandate from the governor and the lawmakers.

This is one of the decisions of the National Working Committee (NWC) at its meeting yesterday following the defection of the governor and all elected party and government officials in Delta State to the APC. All of them were received into the ruling party on Monday in Asaba by Vice President Kashim Shettima and APC National Chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje.

Damagum also said the NWC decided that errant party chiefs, who openly flirt with the APC would be expelled.

Another decision of the NWC, according to him, is the total adoption of the resolutions of the PDP governors’ meeting in Ibadan on April 14. Nation
