Emami: “APC Candidates Will Win if Election is Fair”

The leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta South Senatorial District, Chief Ayirimi Emami, asserted that if the July 13 Delta State local government election is conducted fairly, the party’s chairmanship and councillorship candidates will win. Emami made this statement in Warri, Delta State, while presenting campaign materials to the party’s chairmanship candidates for Warri South, Warri North, and Warri South-West LGAs.

He expressed confidence in the victory of APC candidates in the three Warri LGAs, stating, “If there is any election, our candidates are going to win. Therefore, we must all go out and campaign; if you don’t campaign, nobody will vote for you.”

Addressing concerns among supporters about potential election manipulation, Emami assured them of victory if a genuine election is held. He urged the government to ensure a free and fair election.

“It is instances like this that make us yearn for local government autonomy, to ensure local government elections are not controlled by the state government. If the states are advocating for state police and also overseeing the state Independent Electoral Commission, they must ensure there is a free and fair election in all local governments in the state.”

The chairmanship candidates thanked Emami for his support and assured party members and supporters that they would actively campaign in the creeks and riverine areas to secure victory.

The candidates backed by Emami are Prince Francis Yonwuren (Warri South), Chief Samson Omamuli (Warri North), and Mr. Ebieto Collins (Warri South-West).
