A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress in Ondo State, Comrade Olumide Aliu, has urged all members of the party in Akoko North West Local Government Area to sheath their sword and embrace peace.

Aliu, while addressing members of the Independence Consultative Council, a campaign group formed to work for the party’s candidate ahead of the last governorship election in the state, Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa, condemned what he described as a battle of destruction among party members in the local government area.

According to him, the group was formed by political leaders to work for the success of the APC in elections.

“The Independence Consultative Council (ICC) formerly known as Independence Campaign Council, was formed as an independent campaign group across all the 18 local governments of Ondo Slate to work aggressively, purposefully and peacefully for the victory of His Execellency, Hon Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa during the last Governorship election in Ondo State. The efforts of ICC with other groups ensured a landslide victory in our local government and across the state, such that has never happened in the political history of our dear State,” Aliu said.

He expressed surprise that members of the party would later come down hard against one another in a war of attrition.

Thereafter the Governorship election , which was massively won by our party, APC.
Independence Campaign Council in Akoko northwest was transformed into Independence Consultative Council with the motto: Equity, peace, progress and development.

“ICC leadership in Akoko Noerth West LGA, like in other local governments in the state, is a confluence of members of impeccable characters, seasoned politicians, captains of industries, and respected individuals. It is, therefore, unimaginable and appaulling that a section of APC members in Akoko North West would attack members of ICC by calling them unprinted names in the media and labelling them as opposition group. Our peaceful wards meetings were disrupted, while members were assaulted.

“It should be noted that these actions are against the freedom of association as enshrined in Chapter 4; Section 40 of the 1999 constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria (as Amended). Rights to peaceful assembly and Associaton.

“While appealing to our members to maintain the peace, we want to use this opportunity to call on all leaders of the party in Ondo State to intervene now before the matters snowballs into another crisis,” Aliu concluded.

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

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.
