The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ughelli North Local Government Area, Delta State, on Friday held a landmark unity meeting at Evwreni, with a resolve to promote peace, cooperation, and strategic alignment with the party’s leadership at the state and national levels.

The meeting, which was the first of its kind since the movement of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) into the APC fold, was, among others, aimed at properly integrating new members and realigning the party for victory in future elections.

Hosted by the founding leader of the APC in Delta State, Olorogun O’tega Emerhor, OON, the meeting also saw a confidence vote passed on President Bola Tinubu and Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborewori.

The motion for the vote of confidence was moved by Professor Sam Ibodje and seconded by Hon. Samuel Mariere and received unanimous support from all leaders present.

The State Chairman of the party, Elder Omeni Sobotie, described the meeting as a turning point in politics in the local government area and the state.

“Today marks the end of violence in Ughelli North politics. When a group of people are united, nothing can stop them. We are now united, and nothing can stop us.” He emphasized the party’s guiding principle of equal opportunity for all. “In APC, your rights are determined by your input—not how long you’ve been here. Everyone has a place, and the party will support you to grow,” he said.

Elder Sobotie also noted the significance of the event’s peaceful atmosphere, calling it a divine signal of ffavour “When God is with you, He compels all circumstances to cooperate with you. That’s what we are seeing today,” he said, to applause.

In his address, Olorogun Emerhor underscored the strategic purpose of the unity gathering, saying, “After the 2023 election, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu didn’t get 25 percent in Delta. That was painful. But he has not turned his back on us. He considers Delta part of his constituency. His wife is from here. And he has supported this unity effort from the very top.”

He further credited Governor Sheriff Oborevwori for helping to stabilize the political space in the state. “The crisis-ridden APC is a thing of the past. We now speak with one voice, and we know our leader,” he added.

In their goodwill message new APC entrants such as Elder Terry Noah, Engr. Christabel Obiuvwevbie, Chief George Oyefie, Hon. Onoriode Aguofure all pledged their support to the party.

According to Terry Noah the new members of the APC are coming wholeheartedly into the party, even as he commended the founding leader Emehor for building the party in the state.

A major highlight of the meeting was the presentation and adoption of an eight-point communiqué, for the unity and functionality of the APC in Ughelli North and across Delta State.

Some key resolutions adopted at the meeting include: a collective resolve to walk in unity under the state leadership of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori; affirmation of joint party leadership under the State Chairman, Elder Omeni Sobotie, founding leader Olorogun O’tega Emerhor, Rt. Hon. Festus Agas and Chief Terry Noah and a declaration that there are no “old” or “new” APC members, all members are equal and entitled to the same privileges and opportunities amongst others.
