Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, has described as laughable the claim that he is planning to dump the Peoples Democratic Party for the All Progressives Congress.
He challenged the senator representing Delta North Senatorial District, Ned Nwoko, who made the defection claim, to provide the evidence to prove the claim.
Nwoko had, at the weekend, alleged that Oborevwori was seeking to join the APC, declaring, however, that the governor was not welcome.
Responding on behalf of the governor on Monday, the Director General of the Delta State Orientation and Communications Bureau, Dr. Fred Oghenesivbe, challenged Nwoko to provide evidence to back his claim.
Oghenesivbe said, “We don’t have time for Ned Nwoko. We have spoken extensively on this issue before now, myself and even the commissioner, Charles Aniagwa, that the governor is not defecting.
“Did Governor Oborevwori tell Nwoko that he is coming to the APC? You, journalists, should ask Ned Nwoko whether Sherriff approached him that he is coming to APC.
“If Oborevwori didn’t approach Nwoko that he’s coming to the APC, where did Nwoko get that information, for him to even be saying Sherrff is not welcome in the APC? It doesn’t make sense to anybody.”
