  Political parties survive and grow on structures, leadership, grassroots acceptance, and public confidence, not on the ambitions of one individual.  That reality explains why the resignation of Senator Ovie Omo-Agege from the All Progressives Congress (APC) will neither weaken the party nor alter the growing political momentum of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori ahead of the 2027 governorship election. Delta politics has evolved significantly in recent years with the emergence of Governor Oborevwori as the central rallying figure of progressive politics and grassroots governance in the state.  Today, the APC in Delta is broader, deeper, and more firmly rooted across the three senatorial districts than ever before. Its strength is anchored on a wide coalition of stakeholders, community leaders, youths, women groups, grassroots mobilizers, and citizens who identify with the governor’s leadership style, developmental approach, and inclusive governance philosophy. That is why re...
