Delta State Chairman African Democratic Congress ADC Engr Austine Okolie received Chief Great Ovedje Ogboru into the African Democratic Congress ADC.
In a high?profile event hosted by Delta State Chairman of the ADC, Engr.?Austine Okolie, the veteran politician Chief Great Ovedje Ogboru is the latest major figure to formally join the African Democratic Congress (ADC). Known as a “People’s General,” Ogboru’s realignment represents a bold turn in Delta State politics, where mass defections have already reshaped the landscape. Notably, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, former Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, the Speaker and entire PDP structure in Delta crossed over to the APC earlier in 2025 effectively collapsing the PDP stronghold that had endured since 1999.
With Chief Ogboru now aligned with ADC, he will coordinate efforts with Delta State ADC leaders such as Hon.?Kenneth Gbandi and elders like Professor Pat Utomi. Together, they aim to challenge the APC’s dominance in Delta, applying political wisdom and grassroots strategy. ADC has become a political Mecca, attracting defectors
from LP, PDP, and even APC, both in Delta State and nationwide. This influx follows national trends: prominent figures such as Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar are reportedly considering or have joined the ADC platform ahead of the 2027 elections; analysts see ADC increasingly as the principal opposition coalition
