OGBE-IJOH/Nigeria: The Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Emomotimi Dennis Guwor, has described the All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign rally in Ogbe-Ijoh, headquarters of Warri South-West Local Government Area, as a significant demonstration of political participation ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Guwor, who represents Warri South-West Constituency I in the State Assembly and is seeking another term, made the remarks in a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Nkem Nwaeke, following Tuesday’s campaign rally led by Governor Sheriff Oborevwori.
The rally attracted APC leaders, party candidates, women and youth groups, political pressure groups and supporters from different parts of Delta State, turning the gathering into a major political engagement in the council area.
One of the major highlights was the presentation of APC flags to the party’s candidates, including the Speaker for Warri South-West Constituency I, Dr. Andrew Omagbemi Igban for Constituency II, and Hon. Thomas Ereyitomi for Warri Federal Constituency.
The presentation formally signalled the party’s endorsement of the candidates as it intensifies preparations for the 2027 elections.
Addressing the gathering, Governor Oborevwori called for unity among party members and stakeholders, reaffirming his administration’s commitment to peace, development and inclusive governance. He also urged supporters to mobilise for the APC candidates in the forthcoming elections.
Reacting to the turnout, Guwor expressed appreciation to the governor, Deputy Governor Sir Monday Onyeme, party leaders, political groups, women and youths for their participation.
He said the gathering went beyond an ordinary political rally, describing it as an opportunity for members and supporters to demonstrate their political commitment.
“As Speaker, as your representative, and as a candidate, I am overwhelmed by this love. What we witnessed today was not just a rally, it was a movement. Our people came out massively, with joy, with unity, and with one voice,” Guwor said.
The Speaker assured his constituents that he would not take their confidence and support for granted, while expressing appreciation to those who participated in the campaign activities.
Guwor’s legislative position and his role as Chairman of the Conference of Speakers of State Legislatures of Nigeria also featured prominently in discussions at the gathering, with supporters highlighting the national responsibilities associated with his office.
He maintained that the successful outing had strengthened the party’s mobilisation efforts in Warri South-West and urged members to sustain their participation as the election season approaches.
The Ogbe-Ijoh rally formed part of the APC’s wider campaign activities across Delta State, with the party seeking to consolidate its structures and engage communities ahead of the 2027 general elections.
