He commended the party faithfuls on the success of the exercise, urging those who emerged as party officials across the 25 Local Government Areas to be humble in victory.
The statement reads: “Yesterday, I participated in the All Progressives Congress (APC) Local Government Congress in Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State. The exercise was peaceful and credible.
“Permit me to use this medium to congratulate and welcome onboard all the elected LGA officers across Delta State who emerged victorious at the end of the exercise.
“May I also use this opportunity to commend all members and stakeholders of our great party for the peaceful and successful conduct of the Congress in Delta State,” Senator Omo-Agege, who is the leader of the APC’s South-south caucus said.
The exercise in line with the party’s directive, was conducted in the presence of security operatives and officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
