In a bold move to restore order and quash dissent, the All Progressives Congress (APC) Chairman for Delta North Senatorial District, Ogbueishi Adizue Eluaka (JP), has disbanded the "Forum of Delta North APC LGA Chairmen" and the "Forum of APC Ward Chairmen." This decisive action targets groups Eluaka branded as "unauthorised and unconstitutional bodies" that attempted to undermine Senator Ned Munir Nwoko's bid for a second term.
Eluaka's strong statement released on Wednesday made it clear: these forums do not represent the APC's collective will in Delta North. He emphasised that the party will no longer recognise any collective entities not explicitly sanctioned by its constitution.
"We will not sit to watch a few disgruntled, sponsored individuals under the guise of a forum that is unknown to our constitution, cause disunity and disaffection in our party," Eluaka declared. "The APC is a window of opportunity for growth, and these actions are self-serving."
This announcement follows a key APC stakeholders' meeting held on Saturday, June 14, 2025, at Senator Nwoko’s country home in Idumuje-Ugboko. At the gathering, party leaders and members overwhelmingly passed a vote of confidence in President Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR), Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, and Senator Nwoko.
To tighten party discipline, Eluaka stated that all future party dealings will be conducted directly with LGA and ward chairmen on an individual basis. He issued a stern warning: any meetings convened by the now-dissolved forums or any unsanctioned groups will be deemed illegal and face disciplinary action.
Aniocha South APC Disavows Anti-Nwoko Statement
In a related development, the APC chapter in Aniocha South has also distanced itself from an anti-Nwoko statement attributed to its local chairman, Pastor Norbert Akachukwu Sochukwudinma.
In a statement signed by the party’s Publicity Secretary, Prince PC Izediunor, the chapter clarified that the publication did not reflect the collective decision of the Aniocha South leadership. They stated, "The statement was made without due consultation with the leaders and executives of APC Aniocha South. It is not within our jurisdiction or duty, as the local executive body, to determine or pronounce on leadership positions at the Delta North senatorial level."
The Aniocha South APC leadership urged members across the senatorial district to remain united and committed to party growth and internal harmony, reaffirming their dedication to due process and inclusiveness.
This bold move by Chairman Eluaka signals a clear message: the APC in Delta North is cracking down on internal dissent and consolidating its support for Senator Nwoko.
