Delta Speaker, 21 Other PDP Lawmakers Defect to APC

In a significant political shift, the Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Emomotimi Guwor, along with 21 other lawmakers originally elected under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), have formally defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC). This mass defection has effectively turned the Delta Assembly into an all-APC legislature, with the remaining seven members already belonging to the ruling party.
Announcing the development during Tuesday’s plenary session following the Easter recess, the Speaker said the decision was the outcome of extensive consultations with constituents and political leaders statewide. He cited Section 109 of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) as the legal basis for the defection.
Guwor expressed gratitude to his colleagues for their service and urged them to prioritize the completion of outstanding bills as the current legislative session nears its close. He noted that the defection aligns with a broader political realignment in the state and a strategic move to cooperate more effectively with the Federal Government under President Bola Tinubu.
“The mass defection of PDP lawmakers, led by Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, to the APC is in the best interest of the state and its people,” Guwor stated.
He explained that the decision followed a series of consultations held on April 23 and culminated in an official reception of defectors at the Government House and the Cenotaph on April 28, 2025.
“We are fully committed to partnering with the Federal Government to deliver improved development outcomes for Deltans,” he said. “We commend Governor Oborevwori for his bold and strategic leadership, and as a legislative body, we fully support his decision.”
The Speaker confirmed receipt of 22 letters—his own included—formally notifying the House of their change in party affiliation. He attributed the move to internal crises within the PDP, particularly at the national level and within the South-South zonal structure, which he said led to factionalism and disunity.
Citing constitutional backing from Section 109(1)(g), Guwor affirmed the legitimacy of the defections, stating, “With this development, the Delta State House of Assembly is now entirely composed of members from the APC. We thank our constituents for supporting this progressive direction.”
A motion to adopt the change of party affiliation letters was moved by Majority Leader Hon. Emeka Nwaobi and seconded by Hon. Ferguson Onwo, who represents Isoko South II.
Speaking with journalists after the plenary, Hon. Nwaobi reiterated that the defections were driven by the instability and leadership struggles within the PDP. He emphasized that the lawmakers’ choice to join the APC was constitutionally sound and driven by a shared commitment to stability and effective governance.

Pastor Adeboye Bans Braids and Heavy Makeup for RCCG Clergy

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has openly criticized clergymen who wear braided hair and clergywomen who use false eyelashes and heavy makeup. During the church’s recent annual convention, he announced that these trends among church workers would no longer be accepted.
“In Yorubaland, the only men who braid their hair are Sango priests, the god of thunder,” Adeboye remarked. “Some say this is a new age, and we must adapt to modern trends, but not in this mission. Even after I’m gone, this will not be allowed.”
He made it clear that any pastor, particularly female pastors, who appears overly made up like a Nollywood star would be removed from the altar. “You may not like it, but if you are my children, you can’t defy me. Real men don’t wear makeup because they believe God made no mistakes in their creation.”
Adeboye further questioned the use of false nails, stating, “When you begin to fix false nails, I wonder what you are trying to achieve. If God wanted to make you a bird, He would have given you false nails and eyelashes.”
He urged those who take pleasure in unconventional appearances to repent and embrace modesty. “You can quote me on this: If anyone questions why you are making these changes, tell them, ‘Daddy GO said so,'” he concluded.
