The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has instructed its Legal Adviser, Kamaldeen Ajibade, to begin the legal processes to challenge the decampment of Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, former Vice-Presidential candidate, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, and the entire PDP structure in Delta State, to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Speaking after the first National Working Committee (NWC) meeting of the year, Acting National Chairman, Amb Umar Damagum, confirmed the party’s decision to challenge the decampment in court.
“We are prepared to take legal action to reclaim what belongs to us.
“These individuals were elected under our platform, and we will ensure that justice is done,” Damagum said.
He said that the PDP had already saddled the Emma Ogidi-led Caretaker Committee for the South-South zone, with the responsibility of taking over the leadership structure in Delta State.
Ogidi will also seek out new party leaders while disregarding the existing leadership under Chief Dan Orbih, whose influence has now been overshadowed by the decampment.
The decampment, which took place after a closed-door meeting in Asaba, has seen key PDP figures, including Deputy Governor Monday Onyeme, state commissioners, local government chairmen, and grassroots machinery, shift their allegiance to the APC.
The PDP has scheduled its National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting for May 27, 2025, to discuss the implications of the decampments and determine the party’s next steps to take.
