EKU, Delta State — Leaders, stakeholders and members of various campaign committees of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ethiope East Local Government Area of Delta State have perfected the party’s campaign structure ahead of the 2027 general elections, with a date for its formal inauguration expected to be announced shortly.
The development followed an enlarged strategic meeting of party leaders, stakeholders and members of the various campaign committees held at the residence of the APC leader in Ethiope East, Chief Bernard Edewor.
The meeting focused on strengthening the party’s organisational framework, coordinating campaign activities and developing strategies for effective grassroots engagement across the local government area.
Addressing participants, Chief Edewor emphasised the need for members of the campaign committees to intensify grassroots mobilisation through ward-to-ward and unit-to-unit engagements, highlighting the policies, programmes and achievements of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori.
The Coordinator of the APC campaign committee in Ethiope East, Rt. Hon. Sunny Akpodiogaga Emeyese, presented the list of the enlarged campaign committees and disclosed that the date for the inauguration of the structures would be announced very soon, signalling the official takeoff of campaign activities in the local government area.
He also announced that the local government mega rally would hold shortly after the inauguration, to be followed by ward-to-ward campaign activities.
Emeyese further disclosed that the Delta State Campaign Council, led by Governor Oborevwori, would visit Ethiope East on December 15, an engagement expected to form the climax of the campaign activities in the area.
He expressed confidence in the preparedness of the party’s structures, noting that the committees were being positioned to ensure effective coordination and extensive grassroots mobilisation ahead of the 2027 elections.
He also clarified that the collation of election results for the local government would take place at the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) office, rather than the Local Government Council hall.
In his remarks, the Chairman of Ethiope East Local Government Council, Chief Augustine Ogedegbe, urged party leaders, stakeholders and supporters to prioritize door-to-door mobilisation across their respective wards and electoral units.
Ogedegbe highlighted some of the achievements of the Tinubu administration and the Oborevwori-led Delta State Government, urging campaign committee members to incorporate the administrations’ policies, programmes and development initiatives into their grassroots engagements.
He also commended Governor Oborevwori for his administration’s governance and development efforts, stressing the importance of sustained communication between government, party structures and the grassroots.
Speaking with journalists on the sidelines of the meeting, Chairman of the Ethiope East APC Campaign Publicity Committee, Dr. Wilfred Latimore Oghenesivbe, Esq., said the meeting had successfully considered and adopted the membership of the various subcommittees, thereby completing a major phase of the campaign organisation’s preparations for its formal inauguration.
Oghenesivbe identified the State Director of Protocol to the Governor, Chief Sunday Onoriode; Chief Bernard Edewor; campaign coordinator, Rt. Hon. Sunny Akpodiogaga Emeyese; APC Local Government Chairman, Chief Midwest Iboyitete; and other party leaders and stakeholders as key participants in the strategic planning process.
He said the commitment demonstrated by party leaders and stakeholders underscored their collective interest in building an effective campaign organisation with the capacity to coordinate activities across the wards and electoral units of Ethiope East.
According to him, the publicity committee would focus on communicating the policies, programmes and development initiatives of the Tinubu and Oborevwori administrations through organised media engagement and grassroots information dissemination.
Oghenesivbe reaffirmed the campaign committee’s commitment to working with party leaders, stakeholders and other relevant structures towards the successful coordination of APC campaign activities ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The meeting ended with a renewed commitment to grassroots mobilisation, effective communication, committee coordination and sustained engagement with party members and residents across Ethiope East Local Government Area, ahead of the formal inauguration of the campaign structures.
