The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State has set a target of over 100,000 votes in the 2027 general elections, as the party begins an aggressive grassroots mobilisation drive ahead of the polls.
Chairman of the Ughelli North APC Campaign Committee, Chief Fred Majemite, made this known during the inauguration of campaign and election management committees for the 11 wards of the local government area at Oharisi Primary School, Ughelli.
Majemite charged the newly inaugurated committees to justify the confidence reposed in them by working towards delivering electoral victory for all APC candidates in the 2027 elections.
He urged the ward coordinators and party stakeholders to adopt effective mobilisation strategies capable of securing a 5/5 victory for the party, stressing that the APC had sufficient achievements to present to the electorate.
According to him, the party must rely on its performance, grassroots structures and political support base rather than electoral malpractice to win the confidence of voters.
He called on the committees to intensify door-to-door campaigns, strengthen community engagement and ensure that the party’s message penetrated every ward and polling unit in Ughelli North.
Earlier, Coordinator of the Ughelli North Campaign and Election Management Committee, Hon. Samuel Marierie, urged the ward coordinators to develop innovative and practical strategies that would address the political peculiarities of their respective wards and communities.
Marierie observed that the political dynamics of communities differed, adding that strategies that might produce positive results in one ward could prove ineffective in another.
He challenged the coordinators to think outside the box, engage voters directly and bring forward workable ideas that would advance the party’s collective ambition of winning the 2027 elections.
In his goodwill message, APC Chairman in Ughelli North, Olorogun Lucky Ofomukoro, described the inauguration as a major step towards strengthening the party’s grassroots political machinery.
He called for unity, loyalty and commitment among party members, urging the newly inaugurated committee members to take their assignments seriously and ensure effective dissemination of the party’s message across the local government area.
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 Hon. Spencer Owhofa, member representing Ughelli North Constituency II in the Delta State House of Assembly, commended the initiative.
They urged the committee members to demonstrate dedication, discipline and political commitment towards realising the party’s electoral target in 2027.
