In a major political shift, Delta State Governor Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori has officially defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC), marking a significant realignment in the states political landscape. Arise TV reported that the development was confirmed on Wednesday evening following a closed-door meeting at the Government House in Asaba. Speaking via phone, the Governors Chief Press Secretary, Sir Festus Ahon, stated that the decision followed wide consultations with political stakeholders and in the interest of Deltas long-term development. Oborevwori, who won the 2023 gubernatorial election on the PDP platform, was received by senior APC officials, signaling a high-profile boost for the ruling party. Political analysts have begun describing the move as a strategic repositioning ahead of the 2027 general elections, with potential ripple effects across the South-South region.  The post Delta Governor Sheriff Oborevwori officially dumps PDP for APC appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.

Pastor David Ibiyeomie of Salvation Ministries has doubled down on his recent controversial remarks, insisting that Jesus detested poverty and deliberately avoided associating with poor people during His time on earth.

The cleric first stirred backlash after stating in a sermon that Jesus “never entered the home of a poor person” because He “hated poverty.”

The comment triggered widespread criticism on social media and within religious circles, with many accusing the pastor of misrepresenting biblical teachings.

However, in a follow-up sermon, Ibiyeomie stood by his position, claiming the Holy Spirit personally affirmed the accuracy of his statement.

“Some persons called me and said the internet was on fire. I wasn’t interested, but out of curiosity, I checked,” he said. “Then I asked the Holy Spirit to tell me if I was wrong and I would take the blame. He was dictating God’s word to me verbatim in the bathroom.”

According to Ibiyeomie, the Holy Spirit told him that just as believers should not befriend sinners, they should also avoid close association with the poor. “He said, ‘I became sin for humanity. Do you like sin?’ I said no. He said, ’You can lead people to Christ, but you cannot be a friend to a sinner. So if a believer is mixing with sinners, everyone gets angry. In the same way, if a believer mixes with the poor, people should be angry,’” the pastor claimed.

He further argued that poverty is not simply a lack of money but a mindset, asserting that Jesus paid the price not just for sin and sickness, but also for poverty. “Why will you reject sin and accept poverty?” he asked. “You can help the poor but don’t associate with them.”
