Asaba ( FLOWERBUDNEWS): The Deputy Governor of Delta State, Sir Monday Onyeme, has restated the popularity of the All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the 2027 polls, saying that no political party can beat the ruling party in the 2027 general elections.
According to the Deputy Governor, the achievements of Gov. Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta had become a no-go area for any other political party.
He added that the people of the State would vote massively for the APC.
The Deputy Governor spoke on Thursday at Utagba-Ogbe, Ward 1, Ndokwa West Local Government Area while redeeming the pledge of N5 million for any Ward with the highest number of registered voters during the e-registration of the APC.
He said, “During the e-registration of our great party, the All Progressives Congress, APC, last year, Ward 1 got more than 5,000 registered members, which means that with this strength, you will do well in the next election.
”Thank you for the support for our party; as a person, my word is my bond, during the e-registration of our party, I said the Ward with the highest number of registered voters would receive the sum of N5 million; that is why we are here to present the N5 million.
”With your cooperation, Ndokwa West is number three among those who registered in the state; if we continue in this spirit, more projects and political patronage will come to Ward 1, because, when you do more politically, you get more.
”Let me assure you, nobody can beat the APC in Delta State; don’t be deceived; our Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori has done very well for Deltans; he is still doing more because he promised to do more for our people.
“Our people are seeing his good works and they are happy.
”The only way our people will thank him for his good works is through their voters’ cards, so, tell those few persons who have been deceived and are not sure which political party to join to join the APC, because it is better to be in a party that is winning than to be in a party that you are not sure of.
”I am also happy that Ward 1 has promised to deliver more than 30,000 votes for our party in the next general elections.
“With most of our people being in the APC, it is important to spread the message beyond Ndokwa and beyond Delta State; tell your friends in other parts of the country that it is good for democracy for the APC to win in the next election.”
Onyeme said that Ward 1 had been a great beneficiary of democratic dividends, adding that the Chairman of the APC in the local government, Chief Anselm Nzete, and the House of Assembly candidate for Ndokwa West Constituency, Chief Princewill Olie, were from the Ward.
A political leader in Ward 1, Barr. Emmanuel Egri-Okwaji, thanked the Deputy Governor for encouraging party loyalty by redeeming political promises.
Speaking at the occasion, Chief Princewill Olie, the House of Assembly candidate for Ndokwa West APC, said, “We are very happy in Ward 1 today. Our Deputy Governor challenged our people, and today, we are seeing that he is a man who keeps to his word.
”We thank the Deputy Governor and the political leaders for passionately working for the people.”
The Chairman of the APC in the local government, Chief Nzete, said, “We will all vote for the candidates of the APC, starting from President Bola Tinubu, because with them, we will get more development.
”Our amiable Deputy Governor, thank you for making our people more politically conscious; you have created so much awareness that more of our people will vote in the next election, and they will vote for all the candidates of the APC.”
APC Ward 1 Chairman, Chief Napoleon Aduwe, attributed the huge support of the people for the APC to the down-to-earth nature of the party’s leaders in the area.
