Oborevwori now leader of our party in Delta – APC

Published

on

The All Progressives Congress, APC, Delta State has reaffirmed that Governor Sheriff Oborevwori has assumed the position of leader of the party.

This is contained in a statement made available to our correspondent by APC Delta State Publicity Secretary, Valentine Onojeghuo.

Governor Oborevwori officially defected from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and joined the APC on Monday, April 28, 2025.

Addressing the recent developments concerning the leadership structure, the APC said,”This position is not subject to debate or contention. It is a principle consistent with our Party’s tradition and leadership structure across the federation, whereby the sitting governor of a state under the APC platform becomes the leader of the Party in that State.”

“This fact was clearly and unequivocally affirmed by His Excellency, the Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Senator Kashim Shettima, GCON, during the official defection event. The Vice President’s declaration reflects the official position of the national leadership of our Party and must be respected by all stakeholders and members within the Party in Delta State, as authoritative, binding and final.

“Consequently, Delta APC finds it strange, arrogant and reprehensible for any individual to continue to arrogate or to parade himself as the leader of the Party in Delta State in clear opposition to the present reality of the governor as leader of the Party.

“Therefore, we warn that we will not tolerate any dissenting opinions or actions that seek to challenge or undermine this fact.

“Any such posture would amount to a deliberate act of provocation and a source of avoidable tension within our Party ranks. Let it be known that such divisive tendencies will be firmly resisted, and anyone who seeks to undermine this position by continuing to parade himself as such will face severe sanctions from the Party.

“The Party stands united behind His Excellency Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori and remains resolutely committed to his leadership as he continues to deliver on his promises of good governance under the M.O.R.E. agenda.

“We urge anyone with contrary intentions to desist, as the Party will not allow divisive tendencies to derail the continued growth and sustainable development being ushered in under Governor Oborevwori’s purposeful leadership.”

BREAKING!!! APC National Chairman, Ganduje Resigns

Published

on

The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Ganduje, has reportedly resigned from his position on Friday, Ekwutosblog has learnt.

According to sources who spoke with Ekwutosblog,” Ganduje was forced to resign following his inability to handle FCT Area Council elections primaries for APC.”

 

The source added “the obvious and ridiculous outing in Bwari Area Council Chairmanship primary election of the party was the height of disgrace.”

“Where the DPO noticeably chased other Aspirants away leaving only one Hon. Joshua Musa Ishaku who was a stooge of PDp and who had not supported Tinubu in the 2023 presidential primaries.”

Another said the move, it is understood follows intense pressure from stakeholders within the APC, especially from the North Central zone, who have repeatedly called for the chairmanship position to return to their region. Ganduje’s expected resignation also comes amid mounting internal opposition over his leadership style and the party’s internal power dynamics.

Ganduje, who assumed office in August 2023 following the resignation of Abdullahi Adamu, has faced sustained agitation from North Central leaders who argue that their region deserves to produce the next party chairman.

In what appears to be a calculated political compromise, the APC is reportedly planning to appoint one of its current national vice chairmen as acting chairman until a new substantive leader is elected at the party’s national convention scheduled for December.

Sources close to the APC National Working Committee revealed that Ganduje, a former governor of Kano State, was persuaded to step aside as part of broader efforts to stabilise the party and strengthen its unity ahead of the 2027 general elections.
