The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta State has issued a fresh directive specifying approved venues for local government stakeholders’ meetings aimed at mobilising party members for the ongoing E-registration exercise.
In a statement issued on Thursday by the state Publicity Secretary of the party, Valentine Onojeghuo, the party said the directive follows an earlier instruction by the state leadership mandating local government party chairmen, in collaboration with kocal government council chairmen, to convene stakeholders’ meetings across the state to drive effective mobilisation for the E-registration process.
The statement said the state Chairman of the party, Elder Omeni Sobotie, has approved only three categories of venues where such meetings can be held.
These include the local government party secretariat, the local government council hall where available, or a publicly accessible event centre located within the local government headquarters.
The party leadership, however, cautioned that stakeholders’ meetings must not, under any circumstances, be held at the private residence of any individual, irrespective of their status or position within or outside the party.

The APC said the directive was issued to promote transparency, inclusiveness, neutrality and proper coordination of the E-registration mobilisation process across all local government areas in the state.
Local government party chairmen were therefore urged to comply strictly with the directive in the overall interest of the party.
The state APC reaffirmed its commitment to the successful conduct of the E-registration exercise and called on all party officials and stakeholders to adhere to party guidelines as efforts continue to strengthen the party at all levels.
