The Delta State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress, Saturday, July 14, 2018, held her maiden expanded State Executive Committee meeting under the newly elected Chief Cyril Ogodo led State Exco at the Delta APC State Secretariat, Asaba.

Newly inaugurated State Chairman, Chief Cyril Abeye Ogodo used the opportunity to thank party faithfuls and stakeholders for standing firm in the face of the many challenges the party faced during the recent congresses.

He acknowledged that although there exist a faction that conducted parallel congresses in the same and claim legitimacy through a contentious court consent judgement, as the duly elected Exco is not party nor consented to such judgement, they are not and cannot be bound by it.

The Chairman however emphasized that the priority of the party at this point is how to dislodge the non performing and corrupt PDP government in the state come 2019.

To this end, he said his Exco is poise to work to reconcile and unite all aggrieved party members. Delta State must be rescued in 2019, this is not negotiable, he concluded.

Speaking also the State Leader of the party, Olorogun O’tega Emerhor, while briefing SEC members on the state of affairs of the party in the state, congratulated Chief Cyril Ogodo and his executives for their successes at the congresses and for their successful swearing in.

He added that the new National Chairman was misled which enabled the Ogboru/Agege group to obtain an alleged fraudulent consent judgement.

According to him, “Comrade Adams Oshiomhole is a man of truth and integrity and having now found out the truth about the fraudulent consent judgement, he will never support it.

He stated further that the Chairman, along the Presidency have mandated Dr Ibe Kachikwu to bring all groups together to achieve unity and peace in the party.

He assured the party faithfuls that legal actions are on and about 5 court cases have been instituted to vacate the contentious consent judgement.

Emerhor committed to SEC that he will work with the Minister in his bid to reconcile all parties and achieve peace towards defeating PDP in 2019.

He assured all party faithfuls that there is no cause for alarm and that those banking on a one legged and shaky consent judgement will soon find the futility of their misplaced and phyric victory.
