(DDM) – Leaders of the All Progressives Congress in Gbokoda Ward 2, Warri North Local Government Area, have called on Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori to clarify circulating rumours regarding Ward Chairmanship positions.
The appeal was made on Monday, February 9, 2026, amid speculations that the governor allegedly directed all Ward Chairmanship slots be allocated to recently defected APC members from the PDP.
Prominent stakeholders, including Ama Omatsuli, Paul Awala, Kinsley Omamogho, Engr Olley Endurance, and Richard Oritsetimeyin Mayuku, emphasized that public clarification is necessary to prevent unrest within the party.
The group highlighted that the rumours, if left unaddressed, could cause confusion and undermine unity among APC members in the ward.
They commended Governor Oborevwori for his leadership and infrastructural initiatives in Delta State.
The stakeholders stressed that proper communication from the governor would reinforce party cohesion and reassure long-standing members.
They specifically urged the governor to publicly debunk the claims and allow ward congresses to proceed through consensus, in line with party directives.
According to them, adherence to established party procedures is essential to maintaining fairness and transparency in leadership selection.
They warned that unchecked rumours could create divisions and weaken APC’s grassroots structures ahead of upcoming political activities.
The group appealed to all party members to exercise patience and await official guidance from state leadership.
They also called on the media and community influencers to avoid spreading unverified claims that may fuel misunderstandings.
Political observers note that early interventions by party leaders can prevent conflicts and preserve the integrity of party processes.
In recent years, Delta State has seen increased political realignments, making clear communication from leaders even more critical.
The stakeholders reiterated their commitment to supporting Governor Oborevwori’s administration while advocating for transparent and inclusive internal party processes.
They concluded that timely clarification would not only calm tensions but also strengthen APC’s position in Warri North ahead of future elections.
