The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Aniocha North Local Government Area of Delta State has inaugurated its Expanded Campaign Council Standing Committees, setting in motion an intensified political mobilisation drive ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The inauguration, held on Friday, November 13, 2026, at the Comrade Collins Ogugua Event Centre, Aniocha North Council Secretariat, Issele-Uku, brought together prominent party leaders, political stakeholders, campaign coordinators and supporters from across the local government.
The ceremony was led by the Chairman of the Aniocha North Campaign Council, Chief Nkem Okwuofu, alongside notable party figures, including former Minority Leader of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Ndudi Elumelu; Chief Ada Kachikwu; Prince Uzoma Idaboh; Sir Mathew Chinye; Dr. Ifeanyi Michael Osuoza; Hon. Jaunty Okwudi; Comrade Ifeanyi Egwuyenga; Dr. Odi Odinigwe and other party chieftains.
Addressing members on behalf of the Campaign Council, the Local Government Campaign Coordinator, Prince Uzoma Idaboh, charged the newly inaugurated committee members to approach their assignments with dedication, discipline and a strong sense of collective responsibility.
He stressed that the party’s electoral prospects would largely depend on its ability to establish effective grassroots structures, calling for aggressive door-to-door campaigns, ward-level engagements and sustained mobilisation across polling units.
In his remarks, Elumelu, the APC candidate for Aniocha/Oshimili Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, urged members to move beyond the inauguration ceremony and immediately commence the task of securing electoral support for the party.
He called on the people of Aniocha North to reciprocate what he described as the developmental commitment of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, through their support for APC candidates in the forthcoming elections.
Expressing confidence in the party’s electoral prospects, Elumelu maintained that voting for APC candidates in the January 16, 2027 presidential, senatorial and House of Representatives elections, as well as the February 6, 2027 governorship and State House of Assembly polls, would promote continuity, good governance and sustainable development.
The APC Local Government Chairman, Sir Mathew Chinye, also charged the committee members to take ownership of their respective assignments, demonstrate commitment and begin mobilisation activities without delay.
Similarly, Engr. Fidel Onwodi and Dr. Alexander Awunor urged members to remain focused, united and resolute, emphasising the importance of meaningful interaction with voters in building confidence in the party and its candidates.
Also speaking, the Commissioner for Special Duties (Government House), Dr. Ifeanyi Michael Osuoza, who chairs the Media and Publicity Committee, pledged his full commitment to the success of the campaign.
Speaking on behalf of the Idumuje/Odiani axis and the wider Aniocha North political family, Osuoza underscored the need for unity, strategic communication and consistent engagement with the electorate to effectively communicate the party’s programmes and achievements.
Other party leaders, including Chief Ada Kachikwu and Barr. Kress Njiokuemeni, urged the committees to deepen grassroots mobilisation and ensure that the APC’s development agenda and campaign message reach every community, ward and polling unit in the local government.
The inauguration represents a major step in the consolidation of the APC’s campaign structure in Aniocha North, with the party moving from preliminary organisational arrangements to coordinated political engagement ahead of the 2027 elections.
With the Expanded Campaign Council committees now inaugurated, party leaders expressed optimism that the structures would translate into sustained voter engagement, stronger grassroots participation and improved electoral fortunes for the APC across the local government.
