Delta APC Crisis Deepens As Omo-Agege, Ned Nwoko, Ibori’s Daughter, Others Shun State Congress Amid Factional Feud

Also absent was Erhiatake Ibori-Suenu, member representing the Ethiope Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives and daughter of former Governor James Ibori.

The crisis currently rocking the Delta State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has reportedly deepened, as key party leaders shunned the party’s State Congress on Tuesday.

Among those absent were former Deputy Senate President and ex-senator representing Delta Central Senatorial District, Ovie Omo-Agege, as well as the senator representing Delta North Senatorial District, Ned Nwoko.

Also absent was Erhiatake Ibori-Suenu, member representing the Ethiope Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives and daughter of former Governor James Ibori.

Other founding leaders of the party prior to the defection of members from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) into the APC were also said to have boycotted the congress.

SaharaReporters gathered that the Delta APC is currently divided into factions, with one bloc loyal to the Ibori/Omo-Agege camp and another aligned with the state governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, who is reportedly perceived to enjoy the backing of President Bola Tinubu and the party’s national leadership.

In Delta North, the division is said to involve one faction loyal to the immediate past governor, Ifeanyi Okowa, and another aligned with Senator Ned Nwoko.
