Delta PDP grapples with defections ahead of 2023 polls

In Delta State, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has been battered by a wave of defections. The crises’ effects on the Southsouth state’s March 12 governorship election are examined by OKUNGBOWA AIWERIE.
There is concern within the party leadership that the opposition APC may pull off an unexpected victory in the 12th March Delta governorship election as a result of the wave of defections that has slammed the ruling People Democratic Party (PDP) in Delta State unless the current hemorrhaging is stopped.
Weeks away from the general election, it appears the party could be entering a serious political conflict with a weakly united, resurgent All Progressive Congress (APC).
