The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ughelli North Local Government Area, Delta State, on Friday formally inaugurated its Leadership Council, with a vow to deliver President Bola Tinubu and Governor Sheriff Oborevwwori in the 2027 general elections.

The council has the party’s founding leader in the State, Olorogun O’tega Emerhor, as it’s Chairman; Chief Fred Majemite, First Vice Chairman; Chief Terry Noah, Second Vice Chairman; Chief Festus Agas, Secretary; Chief Raphael Emecho, Assistant Secretary; Mr. George Oyefia, Organizing Secretary; Chief Roland Odeni, Assistant Organizing Secretary; Sir Festus Ahon, Publicity Secretary; David Edjukonemu and Chief Adjode Prosper, Ex-Officios.

Also inaugurated were the Finance and Fundraising Committee with Stella Okotete as Chairperson and Mr. Kelly Oghenekevwe as Secretary, as well as the Elders Committee chaired by Prof. Samuel Ibodje.

Speaking at Evwreni, venue of the inauguration, Emerhor urged members to regard the council as a focal point for mobilisation.

He said: “See, if you are not here, you are not a politician, you really are not. I have not seen, for a very long time in this dispensation, a gathering of this caliber of persons. I have been involved in political battles and elections since 1999, and looking around this place today, I know we are prepared and ready to go to battle. I don’t see any reason to be worried.

“We are ready and prepared physically. We are ready and prepared financially. We are also ready and prepared spiritually. I didn’t do anything extraordinary to stand up for the APC, it is neutral for a more progressive agenda. I think His Excellency the President and our government can go to rest; there is no fear in Ughelli North. We are prepared and ready.”

Chairman of Ughelli North Local Government Area, Olorogun Jaro Egbo, warned against indiscipline within the party.

He cautioned: “If some people are here and think they are bigger than the party, let me be clear: the party is too big to wait for anybody. The president was very empathetic, he said, ‘Go and work with these people.’ We are ready to work together.

Also speaking, Prof. Samuel Ibodje and Morrison Olori advised party leaders to focus on inclusion, stressing that no member should be disregarded or undermined.

The council was inaugurated by Hon. Matthew Omonade, the lawmaker representing Ughelli North Constituency I in the Delta State House of Assembly.
