Delta APC Bars Members From Attending NNPP State Leadership Council Support Group Meeting Tomorrow

By Daniel Dafe

The All Progressives Congress APC, Delta State, has barred her party members from attending the NNPP Delta State APC” scheduled to hold on Sunday, 24th April, 2022, warning party faithful not to participate in any of the activities of “this unknown association.”

In a statement signed by the state party chairman, Elder Omeni Sobotie, the meeting tagged “NNPP DELTA STATE APC LEADERSHIP, COUNCIL SUPPORT GROUP MEETS” and purportedly signed by the trio of Barr. Silas Buowe, Dr. Cairo Ojougboh and Chief Great Ovedje Ogboru was strange.

The statement added that “the rather perplexing notice purported to be inviting State Exco Members; LGA Chairmen; LGA Secretaries; LGA Treasurers; LGA Women Leaders; LGA Youth Leaders; notable leaders from each of the local government areas; 2019 presidential/gubernatorial campaign coordinators; and, aspirants into various elective offices for the 2023 General Elections to the said meeting.”

“The All Progressives Congress, APC, Delta State, hereby completely and comprehensively repudiates the entire group, its meeting and indeed any and all of its activities.

“There is no such body known to the APC as “NNPP Delta State APC” and, indeed, there is no such body known to law, for that matter!

“Therefore, the so-called “NNPP Delta State APC” is, as such, to be deemed by all APC members and the general public as a patently illegal body.

“Ironically, the authentic Delta State NNPP, on its part, appears to have dissociated itself from the group, having instructed its members not to attend its meeting,” Delta APC added.

The statement continued: “In addition to banning any APC member from attending the meeting, the party hereby specifically bans each and everyone in the categories of those the conveners of the said meeting particularly listed as invitees.

“For the avoidance of any and all doubt, anyone attending the said meeting or, even as much as being seen close to the venue of such meeting would be deemed as having, by such highly disloyal, irresponsible and rascally conduct, decamped from the APC to the NNPP.

“Indeed, any such person, in consequence of the orchestration of, and, or participation in such grossly intolerable anti-party activity, would be deemed to have repudiated his or her membership of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and forfeited all the rights and privileges pertaining thereto.

“Any aspirant or party member aspiring to fly the APC’s flag in any of the forthcoming elections would only be shooting themselves in the foot and be deemed to have forfeited any chance they ever had in the APC.

“The All Progressives Congress, APC, is not a party of political prostitutes neither will the Delta State chapter of our great party tolerate any form of disloyalty, lukewarmness, ambivalence, or lack of commitment from any of its members,” the party said.

According to the statement, “the All Progressives Congress, APC, Delta State, is a renewed party, presently under new, focused and determined leadership, whose political philosophy is anchored on steadfast forthrightness, unwavering commitment, unalloyed loyalty and unquestionable fidelity to the party.

“In short, there is absolutely no room for any form of political prostitution in Delta APC.”

Delta APC urged all her members to remain focused and undistracted.
