FCT, Abuja - Primate Elijah Ayodele has said that governors who are members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have been compromised ahead of the 2027 election.

In a statement highlighted by The Nigerian Tribune on Friday, April 25, the leader of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church specifically mentioned Akwa Ibom, Enugu, Oyo, and Osun states as those that will be negotiated for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

He said:

“PDP governors have been compromised. More of them will still join APC like Akwa Ibom, Enugu, Anambra and Oyo states will be negotiated; Osun will also be negotiated for the APC. There is nothing like the PDP governors’ forum anymore; the governors will all work against the party.”

Furthermore, Primate Ayodele claimed that the PDP Governors' Forum led by Bala Mohammed has been compromised, adding that the platform is no longer effective.

Report shares actual reasons Delta governor Obovrevwori dumped PDP for APC

The immediate past governor of Delta state, Ifeanyi Okowa, also officially defected from the PDP to the APC. Okowa's defection came two years after he stood as the running mate of Atiku Abubakar of the PDP in the Nigerian presidential election.

Top APC chieftains received Okowa, as many described the move as a strategic political realignment ahead of the 2027 general elections.

For Oborevwori, a report by Premium Times shared why the Delta governor made the switch.

One of the reasons for Oborevwori's move was the continued disaffection of the first Fourth Republic governor of the state, James Ibori, with the incumbent governor.

Another important factor behind Obovrevwori’s movement was the realisation that the PDP had become jaded in Delta state after a lengthy rule. The party was reportedly losing grassroots support.
