**Says It’s a lie for anyone to think because he joined APC, his position will not be contested
Leader of All Progressives Congress, APC in Warri Federal Constituency, Chief Ayirimi Emami, has dismissed any insinuation of an automatic ticket for new entrants into the APC, saying there was no political agreement to that effect; hence, all legislative positions in Warri Federal Constituency and Delta South Senatorial Seat will be contested in the 2027 general elections.
Chief Emami made the declaration in Warri, Delta State, Saturday, May 24, while addressing a large gathering of APC leaders and supporters during his triumphant return from his vacation abroad and continuation of his golden jubilee birthday bash.
While stating that the defection of PDP members in Delta State to the APC wouldn’t have been possible if President Bola Tinubu had not made the APC a formidable platform via his performance, Chief Emami said he won’t forget the leadership of Senator Ovie Omo-Agege in the state while welcoming new friends into the party.
According to the prime Warri Chief, only President Tinubu and the state governor have the firm backing of Warri Federal Constituency, even as he urged the new members of APC not to oppress the older members of the party.
He vowed: “Members of the APC in Warri Federal Constituency will work with the decampees. If other local government councils say they don’t have candidates in the 2027 elections, in Warri South, Warri South-West, and Warri North Local Government Areas, we have people who are ready to contest for the Delta South Senatorial seat.”
Delta South APC Senatorial Chairman, Mr. Austin Oribioye, Prince Yemi Emiko and Sir Amorighoye Sunny Mene were among the leaders of All Progressives Congress who spoke during the colorful ceremony.
Former member of the Delta State House of Assembly, Hon. Daniel Mayuku, moved a motion for President Bola Tinubu to be endorsed as the sole candidate of the APC in the 2027 presidential election, and the motion was seconded by Chairman of Delta State Waste Management Board, Hon. Mofe Matthew Edema. This was sequel to a voice vote presided over by Chief Emami.
