Delta North APC endorses Obigbor as acting chairman

The endorsement follows what the party describes as an “audacious and ill-fated” attempt by Chief Paulinus Akpeki and his allies to seize control of the party’s leadership.

In a statement issued by Senator Peter Nwoboshi, leader of the Delta North APC, the chapter expressed its disapproval of what it termed a “brazen move” that threatens the stability and unity of the party.

“We vehemently condemn this attempt to usurp the leadership of the APC in Delta State. Such actions are a clear and present danger to the cohesion of our great party,” the statement read.

The Delta North APC reaffirmed its commitment to the party’s constitution, asserting that Barr. Obigbor, as Deputy State Chairman, is the rightful successor to the chairmanship in an acting capacity.

“We unequivocally and unanimously endorse the emergence of Barr. Francis Obigbor as Acting Chairman, in strict accordance with the APC constitution,” Nwoboshi said.

The chapter also criticized what it perceived as interference by the Delta Central Senatorial District, accusing it of attempting to sideline Delta North in the party’s leadership structure.

“We will not stand idly by while Delta Central tries to rob Delta North of a position duly elected at the last congress. The APC constitution is crystal clear on the matter of succession, and we will not tolerate any individual or group flouting this constitution,” the statement added.

Delta North APC further warned those behind the alleged coup to abandon their efforts and uphold party regulations.

“We caution these individuals to desist from their nefarious activities and respect the constitution,” Nwoboshi declared, emphasizing the chapter’s resolve to protect its rights within the party.
