Former Delta State Governor, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, has revealed that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, who was the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate in the 2023 election, is likely to leave the party soon.
Okowa made this statement on Tuesday during an interview on Arise News.
He also shared the reasons behind his defection from the PDP to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), alongside Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori and other prominent PDP figures in the state.

According to Senator Okowa, the move followed months of consultations and growing dissatisfaction with the PDP’s condition.
“I discussed the coalition with Atiku, who is on his way out of the PDP, before we moved to the APC,” Okowa revealed, confirming rumours that the 2023 PDP presidential flagbearer is rethinking his political future.
Okowa dissociated himself from Atiku’s proposed grand opposition alliance, stating that it lacked clear direction, proper structure, and a sense of urgency.
“It does not seem that a viable vehicle has been confirmed for that coalition, nor does it appear that a coalition could build strength in such a short period,” he said.
