Speaking during the APC senatorial by-election campaign rally at Ugboha Ward 10 in Esan South East LGA, Okpebholo urged Edo Central to reward Tinubu’s strong backing for the state with massive votes.

“President Tinubu has shown us love, and we must support him in return. Remember we promised him 2.5 million votes. The August 16th senatorial by-election is a test,” the governor said.

The rally, attended by several APC leaders, also saw the reception of new defectors from the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)—a development Okpebholo described as proof of the party’s growing popularity.

Highlighting Tinubu’s contribution to ongoing infrastructural projects in Edo, the governor promised more development, including the fast-tracked construction of roads linking Ugboha to Ubiaja and Anegbete, and the revival of the Ugboha water scheme.

“When I came for my campaign, you told me to revive the water scheme—today, it’s done. Now, I’m promising to complete these critical roads before the election,” he pledged.

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.
