Old and new members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) of Warri Urbobo in Delta State have resolved to close ranks to ensure the party’s fortune in the area.
The resolution was taken on Saturday, May 3, 2025, at a meeting hosted by the leader of Warri Urhobo APC, Olorogun Bernard Okumagba.
Among resolutions reached during the expanded and well-attended meeting by the Warri Urhobo APC leaders and members from the Urhobo Wards in Warri South Local Government Area was a vote of confidence passed in President Bola Tinubu and the Delta State Governor, Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori.

For Senator Joel-Onowakpo and Hon Obire, the gathering commended them for their effective representation in the Senate and the State House of Assembly, respectively.
