The elders, leaders and stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta South Senatorial District have reaffirmed support for President Bola Tinubu and Gov. Sheriff Oborevwori ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The party elders and leaders gave the reaffirmation on Thursday at the Delta south senatorial district mega meeting
held in Warri South Local Government Area.
The leaders, while resolving to close ranks and reconcile aggrieved members, also pledged to vote other candidates of the party in the elections.
They also resolved to strengthen the party’s grassroots structures across the senatorial district.
Speaking at the meeting, Sen. Joel-Onowakpo Thomas (Delta South Senatorial District) said the task before APC leaders and members is to work collectively and deliver victory for the party and its candidates.
Thomas urged party members to return to their wards, units and communities to mobilise voters and convert the support for the party into votes.
“The task before us is victory. We have a responsibility to work together, mobilise our people and ensure that our party produces the maximum votes in the forthcoming elections,” he said.
The senator appealed to all APC candidates to remain committed to the party and avoid actions capable of creating divisions, stressing that there is no room for complacency.
He also urged members to take the achievements of the Tinubu administration and the Oborevwori-led Delta administration to the grassroots as part of the party’s mobilisation campaign.
Also speaking, Mr Emomotimi Guwor,
Speaker of the Delta House of Assembly,
said that youths and leaders across the various ethnic groups in the senatorial district are showing renewed commitment to the electoral process.
Guwor said the district is determined to improve its performance in the 2027 elections.
He urged party members to ensure that all the 87 wards in Delta South delivered massively for the APC.
“Delta South will do better than before. We are determined to make Delta South the highest-performing senatorial district in the state,” he said.
On his part, Chief Solomon Arenyeka,
the Chairman of the APC in Delta, said that the party is poised to reclaim the political strength of Delta South.
He, therefore, urged leaders and members across the different ethnic groups and local government areas to unite and rebuild the party’s political structures.
Earlier in his remarks, Chief Emmanuel Amgbaduba, a chieftain of the APC in the area, said reconciliation and unity remained essential to the party’s prospects, following the conclusion of its primaries.
He urged members who had grievances over the primaries to put their differences aside and explore the party’s internal dispute-resolution mechanisms rather than allow disagreements to weaken the party.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that in attendance are: Sen. Stella Omu; Sen. James Manager; Chief of Staff to the Delta Governor, Mr Johnson Erijo and Mr Funkekeme Solomon, State Coordinator of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors among others. (NAN)
