Stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta State have faulted statement credited to Minister of State (Labour and Productivity), Festus Keyamo, emphasizing that the Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege is the leader of the party in the state.

Recalled that, Chief Keyamo had said that Delta state APC has no clear leader.

But the APC stakeholders in a joint statement signed by national caucus member, serving and former House of Representatives members, said the Minister was trying to truncate the ongoing exercise in the state with the claims, stating that they will no longer be silent anymore on his alleged onslaught against the party.

“We the undersigned Stakeholders of our great party, the APC have watched with constraint the non-stop onslaught on our party by self styled leaders who have seemingly hijacked stakeholdership of our party and continue to destroy its fortunes.

“These so called stakeholders have never won any election in history and have no proof of delivery to the fortunes of our party even in their units.

“We the undersigned stakeholders have won elections and have huge followership in our State. We have resolved not to keep quiet while our party is being destroyed.”

The stakeholders said the ongoing APC membership revalidation and registration exercise should be allowed to go on without any further interference and without excluding anyone.

According to the stakeholders, the committee charged with the responsibility of revalidating and registering members should be left intact and be allowed to perform their functions without any form of distractions.

The press statement was signed by AVM Frank Ajobene (former Gov/ Nat), Chief Hycenth Enuha(national caucus), Hon. Francis E. Waive (serving HoR), Hon. Temmi Harriman(former HoR), Hon. Halims Agoda(former HoR), Hon. Doris Uboh (former HoR), Hon. Paulinus Akpeki(former HoR), Hon. Innocent Anidi (serving HoA).
