APC

Ahead of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Feb. 26, National Convention, Mr Boss Mustapha, Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), has called on members of the party to unite.

Mustapha, represented by an APC chieftain, Mr Nuhu Maksha, made the call during the launch of an empowerment programme by Rep. Yusuf Buba (APC), representing Gombi/Hong Federal Constituency.

The SGF said the call had become imperative to help the party members and supporters gear up for victory ahead of the convention and the 2023 General Elections.

“We should empower our people from the grassroots up to the national levels so that as a party, we will find it easy to succeed in the forthcoming elections.

“Because, a single broom cannot sweep until it unites as a bunch, only then will we be able to achieve our goals and remain victorious.

“I therefore, call on all APC members to eschew personal interests and look at the larger picture and interest of the party, to enable us to establish a government in Adamawa and continue in Aso Rock,’’ Mustapha said.

In his remarks, Buba said that the empowerment programme was meant to support traditional rulers, party chieftains, as well as women and youths from the constituency.

The lawmaker listed the items for distribution to include 30 SUV Honda Jeeps and more than 2,000 motorcycles.

“Today, we are inaugurating distribution of empowerment equipment to the people of Gombi and Hong Federal Constituency.

“The items distributed today, include 30 SUV Honda jeeps for our District Heads and more than 2,000 Motorcycles to our youths.

“In addition, we have distributed about 500 sewing and water pump machines to support our people who are running small scale businesses,’’ Buba said.

Responding on behalf of the traditional rulers, Mr Simon Yakubu, the District Head of Dugwaba, in Hong Local Government Area, thanked the lawmaker for the massive empowerment programme.

Yakubu said that the gesture would go a long way in supporting the traditional rulers, urging other members to emulate the lawmaker who had represented his people well.

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.
