Just In: Group disowned over furore emanating from endorsement of Sen. Ned Nwoko for 2027

Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Delta North Senatorial District, Ogbueshi  Adizue Eluaka, has disowned the Forum of Delta North APC LGA Chairmen saying that it’s unknown in the party’s constitution. 

He was reacting to the forum’s rejection of the endorsement of the Senator for a second tenure in office in 2027 by the party leaders in the senatorial district recently. 

In his statement, Eluaka, while dissolving the forum, stated: “The notice of the Chairman, All Progressives Congress (APC), Delta North Senatorial District, has been drawn to a publication credited to the ‘Forum of Delta North APC LGA Chairmen’ on their surrogate position at the last APC, Delta North Senatorial Meeting held on Saturday, 14th June, 2025 at the Distinguished Senator Ned Munir Nwoko’s Country Home, Idumuje – Ugboko where President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Elder Sheriff Oborevwori, Executive Govemor of Delta State and Distinguished Senator Ned Munir Nwoko were given vote of confidence by the leaders of the party. 

“It is clear that under my watch as the Chairman, our party in Delta North has made remarkable progress both in human and non human activities hence the peaceful coherent relationship we are having within the party officials, elders/leaders, critical stakeholders and other party faithfuls. 

“Furthermore, as we remain committed to the RENEWED HOPE PROGRAM of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and M.O.R.E AGENDA of Elder Sheriff Oborevwori, Executive Governor of Delta State, we shall continue to stay focused towards the achievement of these goals for the betterment of Delta State and Nigeria forbidding all forms of distraction that will truncate the laudable programs. 

“All Progressives Congress (APC) is a window of opportunity for growth; and we will not sit to watch a few disgruntled sponsored individuals under the guise of the ‘forum of Delta North APC LGA Chairmen’ which is unknown in the party constitution cause disunity, disharmony and disaffection in our party just for their personal interest without minding the inflicting pain their judgment and position will cause others. “

He announced that after due consultations with the party hierarchy “the forum of Delta North APC LGA Chairmen is hereby dissolved; the forum of the APC ward chairmen in the Senatorial District is also dissolved; the party at this Senatorial District will henceforth deal with the chairmen at both the LGA and wards individually and treat their matters as it relates to individual local government area and ward; the party will not tolerate any meeting of any form, summoned by either of these dissolved bodies or any other body or group unknown to the party constitution and any person or group of persons found to put forward a recalcitrant behavior in this regard will be dealt with accordingly in line with the party’s constitution.”

In conclusion, he urged “all party faithfuls to remain loyal, committed and dedicated to the ideals of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the party is reinvigorated to achieving success.”
