Nigeria’s political scene is heating up as high-profile defections rock the opposition ahead of the 2027 elections.

Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori and former Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, PDP’s 2023 vice-presidential candidate, have both joined the ruling APC.

These moves mark a major shift in the opposition’s ranks and could reshape alliances nationwide.

Analysts say the growing wave of defections signals an early realignment ahead of what may be a fiercely contested vote.
