Ahead of the 2027 general elections, the Delta State Publicity Secretary of the African Democratic Congress, Mr. Fred Akpewe, has said the silence of the party’s governorship candidate, Chief Great Ogboru over the alleged claim by Dr. Emmanuel Unuafe as the governorship candidate of the Delta ADC is not a sign of weakness or surrender.
A statement by party’s publicity secretary said the attention of the leadership of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Delta State Chapter, has been drawn to a statement credited to Dr. Emmanuel Usiwoghene Unuafe where he claimed to be the legitimate governorship candidate of the Delta State ADC.
Akpewe said while the party respects Unuafe’s right to express his views and pursue any legal or political options available to him, it must be stated categorically that the position he canvasses does not reflect the present reality within the ADC in Delta State.
The statement read in parts: ‘The processes that culminated in the emergence of Chief Great Ogboru as the governorship candidate of the ADC were conducted in line with the decisions and directives of the appropriate organs of the party. And Chief Great Ogboru remains the duly recognised and accepted governorship candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Delta State.
