Following a recent extraordinary caucus meeting, the Auchi APC Youth Forum, representing various wards in Auchi, has issued a communiqué to express deep concern regarding attempts to circumvent the Etsako West Local Government Council Chairmanship position, which has been designated for our community.
As dedicated members of the APC, our commitment to the party has been unwavering. We secured victory in all Auchi wards during elections, including the recent triumph that led to Senator Monday Okpebholo’s election. Our loyalty has withstood challenges, notably when Prince Asama contested against the APC, yet we remained steadfast in our support.
We recall the courageous candidacy of Hon. Abdullahi Abubakar Aka Igbei, who, despite the risks, campaigned tirelessly during the Local Government elections only to face injustice by the former Governor Obaseki. Our commitment did not waver, even in the face of adversity.
With the APC now in power, we believe it is essential to honor the zoning agreement that positions Auchi for this leadership role. We call upon Governor Senator Monday Okpebholo, Comrade Adams Aliyu Oshiomhole, state party chairman Khalifa Jarett Tenebe, and other leaders to back an Auchi candidate for this prized position, recognizing the loyalty and sacrifices made by our community.
We make this appeal in good faith, confident that our leaders will uphold the values of justice and equity, further uniting our party. Long live APC!
