The forum of All Progressives Congress (APC) local government chairmen in Delta North has distanced itself from the alleged endorsement of Senator Ned Nwoko for a second term, declaring it unauthorised and not reflective of the party’s structure.

In a joint statement signed by the seven council chairmen, Nobert Akachukwu Sochukwudinma (Aniocha South), Hilary Fada Ibude (Ika South), Austin Nnabuife (Oshimili North), Dada Okolo (Oshimili South), Oputa Knis (Ndokwa East), Dike Onah (Ndokwa West), and Churchill Ugoena Edem (Ukwuani), the forum reaffirmed support for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election and Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori.

They urged party members and the public to disregard any claims of Nwoko’s endorsement, stating that such actions, whether by ward chairmen or at the Delta North APC stakeholders meeting, were not sanctioned by the local council structures.

“As a party that upholds internal democracy, anyone seeking elective office must build the party and prepare for credible primaries.”

The statement read.
The chairmen also called on Deputy Governor Monday Onyeme, the highest-ranking political office holder from Delta North, to take the lead in unifying the party and guiding it toward success in the 2027 elections.

“APC Delta North remains focused, disciplined, and committed to victory in all elections,” they concluded.
