Delta APC Slams Fake Arenyeka Memo, Vows Unstoppable Registration Drive

The Delta State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has discredited a viral notice purportedly issued by former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Chairman in the state, Solomon Arenyeka, which allegedly urged new members not to register with the APC.

In a strongly worded statement signed by the party’s Publicity Secretary, Mr. Valentine Onojeghuo, the APC described the notice as “fake, malicious, and the handiwork of political mischief-makers” bent on derailing its ongoing mass registration exercise.

“The leadership of APC, Delta State, has uncovered a wicked and cowardly attempt by desperate political mischief-makers to mislead the public and disrupt our party’s mass registration drive,” the statement read.

The APC emphasized that Arenyeka, who has since joined the party and embraced its progressive vision, had never issued such a directive. The statement denounced the notice as “a fabrication and an insult to the intelligence of Deltans.”

Labeling the misinformation campaign as “the last kick of a dying horse,” the party accused unnamed political elements of orchestrating the hoax out of fear of the growing support for the APC, particularly following the defection of Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori to the party.

Under the leadership of Elder Omeni Sobotie, the APC reaffirmed its openness to new members and stressed its commitment to an inclusive and transparent registration process.

“We urge all members and prospective registrants to disregard the fake notice and continue participating fully in the registration exercise across the state,” Onojeghuo said.

The statement concluded with a declaration of unwavering support for President Bola Tinubu and Governor Oborevwori, affirming that “there is no vacancy in Aso Rock or Government House, Asaba, in 2027.”

The Delta APC reiterated its unity and readiness to deliver democratic dividends under the MORE agenda of Governor Oborevwori, warning that there is no place for “fake news, intimidation or cowardly propaganda” in its renewed drive for progress.
