Immediate past People Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Solomon Arenyeka, has urged the public to register with the APC, disassociating himself from a controversial message making rounds on social media and other digital platforms, which he claimed is misleading.
The circulating message, which has sparked confusion among party members and the general public, purports that new APC members have been directed not to collect their membership cards, attend party meetings, or interact with existing members. Chief Arenyeka has come forward to categorically debunk this claim, stating unequivocally that he neither authorized nor endorsed such a directive.
In a formal disclaimer issued on Monday, Chief Arenyeka clarified that the statement is entirely fabricated and does not reflect his views or any legitimate directive from the APC leadership. He emphasized that the misleading notice is a calculated attempt to misinform the public and create disunity within the party at a time when the APC is working hard to strengthen its grassroots presence across Delta State.
“For the avoidance of doubt,” Chief Arenyeka stressed, “the registration of new members is currently ongoing unconditionally across the state.” He noted that the exercise is in strict compliance with the directive of the Delta State APC Chairman, Elder Omeni Sobotie, as clearly stated in a public communication signed by the party’s publicity secretary, Valentine Onojeghuo Esq.

Chief Arenyeka urged all new and existing members of the party to remain focused and committed to the party’s vision. He reiterated his loyalty to the leadership of the APC in the state and warned against distractions aimed at derailing the party’s progress ahead of crucial political milestones.
The public is hereby advised to completely disregard the fake message and rely only on information officially released by recognized party organs and officials.
This development comes as the APC intensifies its efforts to expand its membership base and solidify its influence across Delta State in preparation for upcoming elections. Party stakeholders have been urged to remain vigilant against false information designed to undermine internal unity and strategic goals.
Chief Arenyeka, a respected figure in the region’s political landscape, reaffirmed his commitment to the ongoing registration drive and encouraged eligible supporters to participate fully in the exercise without fear or confusion.
