Leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ughelli North Local Government Area, Delta State, on Friday unanimously pledged to deliver President Bola Tinubu, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, and all APC candidates in the 2027 general elections.<\/p>\n
The resolution was reached at a strategic meeting held at the Uduere country home of the Ughelli North Local Government Chairman, Hon. Jaro Egbo.<\/p>\n
The high-level session described as the first major convergence since the recent merger of political structures in the local government, brought together influential party stakeholders who projected a unified front anchored on solidarity, reconciliation, and readiness for electoral victory.<\/p>\n
A founding leader of the APC in Delta State and leader of the party in Ughelli North, Olorogun O\u2019tega Emerhor, lauded the defection of Governor Oborevwori and the entire PDP structure into the APC, describing it as \u201cthe beginning of a new dawn.\u201d <\/p>\n
He said the development had positioned the APC for unprecedented political strength in the state. Emerhor also praised the renewed unity within the party and urged elected officials and appointees to give their full support as preparations intensify for the 2027 elections.<\/p>\n
Host of the meeting and Chairman of Ughelli North LGA, Hon. Jaro Egbo, said the APC had entered the 2026 election season in \u201ca different gear,\u201d stressing that the party was determined to prevent any opposition challenge in the area. <\/p>\n
He urged members to deepen mobilisation efforts, noting that Ughelli North, Delta State\u2019s largest voting bloc, must deliver overwhelming support for President Tinubu and Governor Oborevwori.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs a party, we are all sailing together. Our mandate is simple: deliver all APC candidates in 2027,\u201d Egbo stated.<\/p>\n
Ughelli North APC Chairman, Hon. Samuel Evwighono, described the meeting as historic, being the first time the entire party structure was converging since the merger. <\/p>\n
Evwighono, who said he became chairman \u201cby miracle\u201d and accepted the responsibility \u201cby grace,\u201d explained that his priority had been reconciling aggrieved members to strengthen internal cohesion. <\/p>\n
He, however, expressed concern over the low collection of Permanent Voters Cards (PVCs) across the council and urged ward leaders to mobilise residents for massive participation in the ongoing voter registration exercise.<\/p>\n
Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Sir Festus Ahon, also called for unity and unwavering support for President Tinubu and Governor Oborevwori, emphasising that Ughelli North, being the governor\u2019s home base, must lead efforts to consolidate the APC.<\/p>\n
Other speakers included Prof. Sam Ibodje; Member representing Ughelli North Constituency I in the Delta State House of Assembly, Hon. Matthew Omonade; Commissioner for Transport, Hon. Onoriode Agofure; Surveyor Terry Noah; and all 11 ward chairmen. <\/p>\n
They reaffirmed their loyalty to the party and pledged to work vigorously toward securing victory for all APC candidates in 2027.<\/p>\n
The meeting ended on a note of renewed optimism, with party leaders resolving to intensify grassroots mobilisation and strengthen APC\u2019s dominance in Ughelli North ahead of the forthcoming elections.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
