APC Issues Ultimatum to Francis Waive Over Endorsement of PDP Governor
APC Issues Ultimatum to Francis Waive Over Endorsement of PDP Governor....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Tensions are rising within the Delta State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as it demands an explanation from Francis Ejiroghene Waive, the representative for Ughelli North/Ughelli South/Udu Federal constituency in the House of Representatives. The party has given Waive seven days to justify his public endorsement of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori for a second term, threatening suspension if he fails to comply.
Governor Oborevwori is affiliated with the rival Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), which adds further complexity to the situation. The APC’s state chairman, Omeni Sobotie, signed a letter summoning Waive to appear before a disciplinary panel. The letter, dated September 15, 2024, characterized Waive’s endorsement as “gross anti-party activity.”
The letter titled “Gross Anti-Party Activity By Your Overt Endorsement Of Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori As Governor For A Second Term In A Viral Video Post” highlighted the party’s displeasure with Waive’s actions. The correspondence notes:
“The attention of the leadership of the State Executive Committee of our great party has been drawn to a video recording that was posted online, wherein you were seen and heard openly canvassing for support and endorsing the second term ambition of the Delta State Governor, Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) that has now gone viral.”
The letter continued to emphasize that Waive’s actions constituted a severe breach of party loyalty, damaging the APC’s reputation and violating its constitution. The leadership demanded that Waive provide “cogent reasons” to avoid potential disciplinary measures.
Party insiders revealed that Waive has been under scrutiny for a previous commendation letter he sent to Governor Oborevwori, thanking him for a gift of an SUV. This appreciation letter, sent in May 2024, stated:
“You have done what has never been done in our history by extending this kind gesture to all irrespective of political party affiliation.”
Such actions reportedly angered party leaders, particularly the former Deputy Senate President, leading to increased scrutiny and a “trap” for Waive, culminating in his recent endorsement.
Despite the backlash, sources indicate that Waive is undeterred and may consider leaving the APC if necessary to pursue his political ambitions for a third term in 2027. An APC chieftain stated that Waive is “ready to damn all consequences” stemming from his invitation and remains committed to his political objectives.

Overview of the APC Campaign Council Review
President Bola Tinubu has ordered a comprehensive review of the newly constituted All Progressives Congress (APC) 2027 Presidential Campaign Council following public criticism over anomalies in its initial lineup.
-
Core Leadership: The council is chaired by President Tinubu, with Vice President Kashim Shettima and APC National Chairman Professor Nentawe Yilwatda serving as Vice Chairmen I and II, respectively.
-
Key Appointments: Former Zamfara State Governor Senator Abdulaziz Yari serves as the Director-General, while Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma acts as the Secretary.
Reasons for the Review
According to presidency and party sources, the initial roster faced immediate backlash from political stakeholders who argued that the lineup contained individuals of questionable character. Major defects identified in the draft list include:
-
The inclusion of individuals facing ongoing corruption allegations.
-
The exclusion of experienced party members who could add strategic value.
-
Omissions resulting from administrative oversights and human error.
Structure to Remain Intact
While the broader membership list undergoes fine-tuning—which has consequently delayed the official inauguration date—insiders confirm that the primary leadership structure will remain untouched. The Director-General and Secretary positions are secure, and adjustments will strictly target the wider membership tier to eliminate controversial names and incorporate valuable stakeholders.
Party insiders noted that such pre-inauguration revisions are common practice, pointing to a similar recall and fine-tuning process utilized during the 2023 election campaign cycle.
