By Admin 

Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborewvori has charged the newly elected All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state to begin immediate preparations for total victory in the 2027 general elections.

 Governor Oborewvori gave the charge during the state APC Congress held at the cenotaph in Asaba.

Speaking at the event, Governor Oborewvori thanked the outgoing executive led by Elder Omeni Sobotie for steering the party through a defining transition period following the political realignment of April 2025.

The Governor commended the discipline, cooperation, and resilience demonstrated by party members across the state and described the peaceful conduct of congresses in the 270 wards, 25 local government areas, and the state as a testament to the APC’s internal democracy.

He noted that there was no imposition, and what is witnessed is consultation, agreement, and inclusiveness.

While he charged the newly elected executive to prioritize regular meetings, strengthen grassroots engagement, and intensify voter mobilization efforts ahead of the 2027 polls.

He said, “Our mission is unequivocal. We must secure victory at every level—the - the Presidency, the Senate, the House of Representatives, the Governorship and the State House of assembly.”

He, however, expressed confidence that the APC in the state would deliver massive votes for President Tinubu and all party candidates.

He reiterated that his administration remains committed to transparency, accountability, and performance under the MORE Agenda, highlighting strides in infrastructure, healthcare, education, youth empowerment, agriculture, security, and human capital development.

In his acceptance speech, Chief Solomon Arenyeka thanked party leaders and members for the confidence reposed in him and members of the new State Working Committee.

He said he is fully aware of the weight and responsibility and promises to serve and to justify the confidence imposed in the newly elected executive.

Arenyeka also assured that the new executive would uphold the values of hard work, integrity, transparency, and teamwork while sustaining the tradition of consensus-building and accountability.

“We have heard the marching orders from our leader. By God’s grace, we shall deliver all APC candidates in the 2027 elections.

Earlier, former Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Victor Ochei moved a motion for the dissolution of the outgoing State Working Committee to pave the way for the election of a new leadership. The motion was seconded by Olorogun O’tega Emerhor and was unanimously adopted by party delegates.

In his remarks, immediate past State Chairman Elder Omeni Sobotie described the congress as the product of collective sacrifice and unity. He said, “In politics, what we have is not ‘I’ but ‘we.’” The interest of the people is more important than personal interests,” urging the new leadership to lead with humility. He added that “ability may take a man to the top, but humility keeps him there.”

He expressed confidence that the APC in its present form was formidable and capable of overwhelming any opposition.

Those elected alongside Chief Arenyeka emerged by consensus at the Delta APC State Congress held on Tuesday at the Cenotaph in Asaba: Elder Moses Iduh,Deputy Chairman, and Chief Efe Uko, State Secretary.

Also elected through consensus were Chief Paulinus Akpeki as Delta Central Chairman, Chief Emmanuel Amgbaduba as Delta South Chairman, and Engr. Daniel Ossai as Delta North Chairman, Elder Emmanuel Egbabor as State Organizing Secretary, Barr. Valentine Onojeghuo as State Publicity Secretary, Mrs. Ifeyinwa Sobotie as State Woman Leader, and Christopher Agali as State Youth Leader, among others.

Chairman of the State Congress Electoral Committee, Engr. Vita Abba, who declared the new executive elected after their affirmation by delegates, said the affirmation process was conducted in line with the party’s constitution and guidelines.

The congress drew party leaders and stakeholders from across the state and beyond, with a charged atmosphere of celebration and unity as the Delta APC formally inaugurated a new leadership ahead of the next electoral cycle.
