As part of efforts to strengthen membership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Warri Federal Constituency of Delta State, Warri Urhobo APC leaders have agreed to work together and support the administrations of President Bola Tinubu and Governor Sheriff Oborevwori as well as other elected officials of the party.
They also passed a vote of confidence on President Bola Tinubu, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, Senator representing Delta South senatorial District, Senator Joel-Onowakpo Thomas, and the member representing Warri South Constituency 2 at the Delta State House of Assembly, Chief Benson Obire.
The Warri Urhobo APC leaders said President Tinubu was on the right track towards repositioning the country, stressing that his policies and transformational strategies were already yielding desired fruits for the general good of Nigerians.
The leaders stated this in a communiqué issued at the end of a meeting hosted by the leader of Warri Urhobo APC and former commissioner for Finance, Olorogun Bernard Okumagba, to welcome new and old members of the party in Warri recently.
At the meeting, attended by over 300 party leaders, including the member representing Warri South Constituency 2 at the Delta State House of Assembly, Chief Benson Obire; Chief Isreal Abido; Chief Western Adehor; Chief Birinus Ojogri; Rev. David Utofia; Chief Mark Ikpuri; Chief (Mrs) Ann Iniovisa, and Chief Peter Agiri, the Warri Urhobo APC leaders agreed to strengthen the party and work in unison.
They commended Governor Sheriff Oborevwori for his infrastructural development in the state and pledged to support his administration in achieving the “MORE Agenda” across the state.
The communiqué, however, urged the President Tinubu-led federal government, Governor Oborevwori-led state government and senatorial representative to spread development projects and appointments across the four tribes of Ijaw, Isoko, Itsekiri and Urhobo which constitute Delta South Senatorial District.
The communiqué read, “Warri Urhobo APC Leaders and Members met in Warri today Saturday the 3rd of May 2025.
