The All Progressives Congress in Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State has set a target of winning more than 100,000 votes in the 2027 general elections, insisting that its performance in government would help secure victory without electoral malpractice.
The Chairman of the APC Campaign Committee in Ughelli North, Chief Fred Majemite, disclosed this during the inauguration of campaign and election management committees for the 11 wards of the local government area at Oharisi Primary School, Ughelli.
Majemite urged party leaders and coordinators to intensify grassroots mobilisation and work towards winning all five elective positions in the 2027 elections.
He said the party had enough achievements to present to voters and should rely on its performance and political structures rather than electoral malpractice to win.
According to him, the newly inaugurated committees must adopt effective strategies to mobilise voters and secure victory for all APC candidates.
Earlier, the Coordinator of the Ughelli North Campaign and Election Management Committee, Hon. Samuel Marierie, urged the ward coordinators to develop mobilisation strategies that would address the peculiarities of their respective communities.
Marierie said the party could not rely on a uniform approach to winning votes, noting that political strategies that worked in one ward might fail in another.
He charged the coordinators to come up with practical ideas, engage voters directly and move beyond conventional political mobilisation.
He said, “What works in one ward may not necessarily work in another. You must understand the peculiarities of your communities and develop strategies that will produce the desired results.”
In his goodwill message, the APC Chairman in Ughelli North, Olorogun Lucky Ofomukoro, called for unity, loyalty and commitment among party members ahead of the elections.
Ofomukoro described the inauguration as a major step towards strengthening the party’s grassroots structure, urging the committee members to take their responsibilities seriously and ensure that the APC’s message reached every community and eligible voter.
Other party leaders and stakeholders, including Prof. Samuel Ibodje, Hon. Festus Ovie Agas, Surveyor Terry Noah, Engr. Christabel Obiuwevbi, Hon. George Oyefia, Mr Kelly Oghenekevwe, Olorogun Josiah Ntekume, Hon. Matthew Omonade and the member representing Ughelli North Constituency II, Hon. Spencer Owhofa, commended the initiative.
They urged the newly inaugurated committee members to remain dedicated to their assignments and work towards delivering victory for the party in 2027.
