Delta APC Hails Arenyeka-led Exco, Dismisses Claims Of Crisis

Delta State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has congratulated its newly elected state chairman, Chief Solomon Arenyeka and members of the State Executive Committee following what it described as a successful party congress.

The party also dismissed reports alleging a crisis within its ranks after the exercise.

According to the party, the ward, local government and state congresses conducted across Delta State were peaceful, transparent and successful, leading to the emergence of a new State Executive Committee headed by Arenyeka through a consensus arrangement widely supported by stakeholders.

The statement noted that the outcome of the congresses reflected the collective will of party leaders and members across the state and underscored the party’s commitment to unity and inclusiveness.

It maintained that contrary to the claims in the report, no parallel congress was conducted anywhere in the state, stressing that the exercise took place across the 270 wards and 25 local government areas without factional outcomes.

For the first time in the political history of congresses in Delta APC, no individual has been paraded or returned as a factional chairman from any so-called parallel congress,” the statement said.

The party attributed the peaceful conduct of the congresses to the leadership and inclusive approach of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, noting that extensive consultations with party stakeholders helped ensure consensus throughout the process.

It added that the consensus-driven model adopted for the congresses prioritised unity over personal ambition and strengthened the party’s structure.

The APC further said the integration of long-standing members and new entrants into the party was handled with political maturity, resulting in what it described as a harmonised and formidable State Executive Committee.

The party urged members to remain focused and ignore attempts to create unnecessary distractions, while also calling on media organisations to verify information before publishing politically sensitive reports.

Reaffirming its readiness for future contests, the APC said it had been strategically repositioned to pursue victories in the 2027 general elections, including the presidency, governorship, National Assembly and State House of Assembly elections.
