Defection: Deltas Alignment With Apc Will Open Up More Opportunities Commissioner Aniagwu

Delta State Commissioner for Information, Mr. Charles Aniagwu, has said that the states alignment with the All Progressives Congress APC following recent defections will create broader opportunities for development and federal collaboration.

Speaking on Tuesday during an interview with News Central, Aniagwu also commented on the recent defection of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori and several Delta PDP leaders to the All Progressives Congress APC.

He argued that political alignment with the presidency significantly increases a states access to federal influence and resources.

The moment you are on the same platform with the president everywhere in the world, even in the United States, there is a tendency that you are going to have more opportunity to meet with the president and meet with the presidency, connect with those at the centre, Aniagwu said.

He further noted that federal appointments, including ministerial and board positions, are often reserved for members of the ruling party, limiting opportunities for opposition-led states.
