Three Warri Local Government Areas’ All Progressives Congress Grassroots Movement, TWAPCGM has commended one of APC Campaign Deputy Directors for South-South geopolitical zone and the Ologbotsere of Warri Kingdom, Chief Ayirimi Emami, former Delta State governor and Delta South senatorial candidate of APC, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan, chieftain of the All Progressives Congress and one of the campaign directors of the party in Delta State, Dr. Alex Tosan Ideh, and former Executive Director of Projects, Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, Engr. Tuoyo Omatsuli for their ability to secure over 35% of the 221, 292 votes President Muhammadu Buhari polled in Delta State during the just-concluded presidential election, in spite of Delta State government’s intimidating force.

President of TWAPCGM, Comrade Abraham Enegho in a statement made available to newsmen in Warri, Delta State, yesterday, described the efforts of the APC chieftains “as near impossible task, considering the dominance of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in Delta State, volatility of the coastal communities of Warri South- West and Warri North Local Government Areas and the lower votes recorded by APC in Warri South, Warri South-West and Warri North Local Government Areas in 2015 presidential and National Assembly elections.”

The group admonished APC leaders in the three Warri councils not to be deterred by the, “desperate antics of the ruling PDP in the state to deny Delta State APC governorship candidate, Chief Great Ogboru and the party’s House of Assembly candidates in Warri South, Warri South – West and Warri North Local Government Areas victory in the March 9 polls”, assuring that they will do everything within the ambit of the law to make sure APC candidates win the forthcoming election.

According to TWAPCGM, ”the efforts of Chief Ayirimi Emami, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan, Dr. Alex Ideh, Engr. Tuoyo Omatsuli and other APC leaders, resulted in President Buhari polling over 43,000, 12, 807 and 6,376 votes across Itsekiri communities in Warri South-West, Warri North and Warri South Local Government Areas respectively.”
