The party also commended the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Olorogun Festus Keyamo (SAN), and the Chairman of TSSL, Chief Government Ekpemupolo, alias Tompolo, for their pivotal roles in ensuring that Tinubu’s ‘Renewed Hope Agenda’ is achieved.
The commendation is contained in a statement signed by the leaders of the party, including the Delta APC Chairman, Elder Omoni Sobotie, Senator Ede Dafinone, Senator Joel-Onowakpo Thomas, Senator Ned Nwoko and the founding leader of Delta APC, Olorogun O’tega Emerhor.

The Delta APC leaders noted that President Tinubu’s decision to sustain the pipeline surveillance contract has helped to provide job opportunities and integrated the people of the Niger Delta, particularly Deltans, at the grassroots level into the Renewed Hope Agenda of the APC-led administration.
The APC leaders asserted that the pipeline surveillance contract initiative is a vital step in promoting national security, economic stability, and sustainable growth.
“The decision to involve our youths in such a crucial aspect of the nation’s security infrastructure speaks volumes about the inclusivity of the Tinubu administration and its commitment to ensuring that the benefits of governance reach all Nigerians.
