The Delta State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has commenced the distribution of registration booklets to facilitate the formal onboarding of new members into the party.
This move came in response to a recent wave of defections from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the APC, highlighted by the high-profile defection of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori and the entire Delta State PDP structure on Wednesday, April 23, 2025.
In an official announcement, the APC directed all Local Government Chairmen to collect the registration booklets—a strategic step towards integrating the influx of defectors.
The party’s State Publicity Secretary, Valentine Onojeghuo Esq., underscored the significance of the registration exercise in strengthening the party’s grassroots structure and accommodating the growing number of new entrants.
It reads, “The registration of new members is a crucial step towards ensuring they are fully integrated into the party structure. We encourage all new members to visit their local ward chairmen and complete the registration formalities to formalize their membership.”
The APC leadership also said that the integration of these new members is a key part of the party’s vision for a “brighter future” for Delta state.
With an increasing number of former PDP members joining its ranks, the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta State is gearing up to consolidate its growing influence ahead of upcoming elections.
APC State Chairman, Omeni Sobotie, has instructed all local government chairmen to report to the APC State Secretariat in Asaba on April 24, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. to collect registration booklets.
These will be distributed to ward chairmen, who are responsible for issuing official membership cards to the new entrants.
“The surge in membership reflects the rising confidence in our leadership and our message of unity and progress,” the party stated. “These new members will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of the APC in Delta State.”
The party further noted that the influx of new members is essential to achieving its vision of “Renewed Hope” for the people of Delta as it positions itself for future political contests.
