A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Emmanuel Afam Eboh, has called for the zoning of the next Delta State chairman of the party to the Delta North Senatorial District in the interest of equity.
In a press statement, Chief Eboh said it had become imperative, particularly as the current state chairman of the APC hails from the same Delta Central Senatorial District as the state governor.
He stated that sustaining harmony within the party required adherence to equitable power distribution among the three senatorial districts.
He further noted that Delta North is justifiably positioned to produce the next chairman, pointing out that Delta South previously occupied the chairmanship seat for eight years and six months in the multi-ethnic state.
According to him, rotational leadership would help to foster unity and strengthen internal democracy.
According to the APC leader” there are indications that the state party chairman would again emerge from Delta South instead of Delta North” urging key stakeholders to uphold what he described as the “appropriate power rotation of party leadership” to ensure cohesion and stability within the party.
“I appeal to well-meaning leaders of our great party, especially the founding members in the state as well as the national leadership of the APC, to intervene and ensure that the proper thing is done. A just resolution will not only guarantee balance in the party’s leadership structure in Delta State but also consolidate the party’s strength for the benefit of all members.”
Chief Eboh emphasized that an inclusive party structure based on rotation would position the party for electoral success at both the state and national levels in the forthcoming general elections.
While expressing confidence in the capacity of Delta North to provide competent leadership, Chief Eboh said the district has credible and experienced hands capable of steering the party effectively ahead of the 2027 polls.
