 The All Progressives Congress (APC) Committee Chairman for Local Government Congresses in Osun, Mr. Gbenga Elegbeleye, has called on members to be peaceful as the party conducts its congresses today, September 4.

He urged the contestants to shun anti-party activities.

Elegbeleye, who made this known on Friday at the APC Secretariat, Osogbo, said elections should not be seen as a do-or-die affair, adding that losers could always have another moment in the party.

He called for the support of ward leaders, urging them to assist in supervising and achieving peaceful elections.

According to him, the results of the congress are expected to come out without any delay.

He urged party faithful to uphold the principles of love and goodwill.

Gov. Adegboyega Oyetola also appealed to party members seeking elections into various positions at the local government level not to see it a battlefield affair.

Oyetola noted that the congress was an avenue to elect officers of the party, especially at the ward, local and state levels.

According to him, the losers in tomorrow’s local government congress should embrace the spirit of love and support rather than taking laws into their hands.

“There are several posts in the party which can still be occupied and not a do-or-die affair.

” What is important is to remain a loyal party member for the benefit of everyone and growth of the party.”

In her goodwill message, Mrs Foluke Ete, erstwhile Speaker of the House of Representatives, advised party members to visit their various constituencies to ratify the elections.

Ete noted that the party was ready to give its best in ensuring peaceful elections, devoid of violence.

“Osun has always been in an envious position when it comes to party affairs, thereby laying a good foundation for other states to emulate,“ she said.

Also, the Speaker, Osun House of Assembly, Hon. Timothy Owoeye , said election was another process of consolidating APC in the state.

Owoeye urged party faithful to exhibit the spirit of sportsmanship by doing away with anything that would give the party a bad name.

Earlier, Sen. Bashir Ajibola  (APC, Osun-Central) called on all members to ensure that the party remained in power after the governorship election in 2022 and the presidential election in 2023.

Ajibola noted that every politics is local and urged party faithful to embrace consensus, coerciveness and unity which, he said,  was germane.

Any Ambition Against Senator Nwoko’s Second Term Bid Is Selfish, Unnecessary —APC Chieftain

Published

By

As Senator Ned Nwoko positions for a return to the National Assembly, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Emmanuel Eboh, has described any opposing ambition as self- serving, unnecessary  and detrimental to the peace and development of Delta North Senatorial District.

Speaking in an interview in Abuja, Chief Eboh, a former civil commissioner in Delta State, said Senator Nwoko continues to enjoy widespread goodwill and the support of the people of Delta North, popularly known as Anioma.

While acknowledging that political aspirations are legitimate in a democratic setting, Eboh cautioned against what he termed the “unacceptable drift towards turning politics into a family enterprise and a tool for power control and manipulation.”

He called on residents of Aniocha/Oshimili Federal Constituency and the wider Delta North district to resist  “the inordinate ambition of some Shylock politicians driven by selfish motives and unrestrained personal interests.”

The APC stalwart warned that personality-driven ambitions, rather than people-oriented leadership, could
lead to  avoidable rivalry and division within Delta North.

Chief Eboh maintained that Senator Nwoko’s performance in office has been commendable and deserving of re-election, citing key interventions in rural road construction, electrification, education, potable water supply, and empowerment programmes.

He further highlighted the senator’s sustained advocacy for the recognition and identity of Anioma, noting that it was “unprecedented in the political history of the district”.

According to him, “Senator Nwoko has not only met expectations but surpassed them. He deserves re-election, particularly given the fact that the core constitutional responsibility of a senator is lawmaking for the good governance of the nation.”

Eboh said the people of Delta North regard Nwoko as a progressive leader who embodies unity and dignity across Anioma, stressing that he should not be distracted by unnecessary political contestation.

He reaffirmed that the senator’s commitment to the growth and development of Anioma remains unwavering and urged constituents to sustain their support for his return to the Senate.

The APC chieftain also called for continued backing of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general elections.
