Orubebe’s defection is coming barely five days after Okowa was picked as a running mate to the PDP’s presidential flag bearer in the forthcoming 2023 general elections, Atiku Abubakar.

Monday's defection of a Delta State chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, , and former Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Godsday Orubebe, to the All Progressive Congress, , has rattled the PDP and the Governor Ifeanyi Okowa-led state government, SaharaReporters has gathered.

"I write to formally inform you of my resignation from the People’s Democratic Party, . This has been communicated to the Chairman of Burutu Ward 3, Burutu Local Government Area, Delta State, effective 20th June 2022. Consequently, I am by this letter intimating you of my total withdrawal from all activities at the Ward, Local, State and National levels of the People's Democratic Party, .

"However, the present situation in the party does not inspire confidence that the party is ready to regain power in 2023.

Meanwhile, the defection of the former minister, SaharaReporters reliably gathered, has rattled and thrown off balance the PDP and Governor Okowa even as the governor made several futile efforts to reach out to Orubebe on phone and have a word with him.

Okowa is looking for voice. Orubebe is assumed to be a clever politician with conscience. I hope he does whats good for the people & not for some persons personal grata. Nigeria is bigger than any individual & cannot be given as a hamper to anyone.
