2027: No Automatic Tickets for Decampees – APC Chieftain Ayiri Emami Warns

Speaking during a welcome event held in his honour at Ugbuwangue Community in Warri, hosted by Prince Francis Agbowosile, Emami stressed that all political positions would be keenly contested, regardless of prior affiliations.
“There is no agreement anywhere that defectors will be handed tickets unopposed,” Emami stated. “Anyone claiming otherwise is being dishonest. All positions are open for contest.”
He emphasized that only the presidency and the governorship positions currently enjoy the collective backing of the Warri Federal Constituency. However, he insisted that Warri South and Warri North Local Government Areas have credible candidates prepared to contest for the senatorial seat in 2027.
During the event, a former member of the Delta State House of Assembly, Daniel Mayuku, moved a motion endorsing President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the APC’s sole presidential candidate for the 2027 election. The motion received backing from Mofe Matthew Edema, a former chairman of Warri South Local Government Area.
Chief Emami subsequently subjected the motion to a voice vote among party members present, resulting in a unanimous endorsement of Tinubu.
The gathering was attended by notable figures including Prince Yemi Emiko and other key stakeholders of the party.

APC Fires Back at Adeleke Over ₦300bn LG Funds Allegation, Blames Governor for Salary Crisis....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The Osun State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has responded to claims by Governor Ademola Adeleke that local government officials under the party diverted about ₦300 billion meant for workers’ salaries.
Adeleke had made the allegation during a stakeholders’ meeting, accusing APC-controlled council officials of hijacking funds and forcing the state government to shoulder salary payments for local government workers, teachers, health staff, and pensioners for over a year.
He insisted he would not abandon workers, blaming the situation for delays in executing some state projects.
But in a statement, APC’s Director of Media and Information, Kola Olabisi, dismissed the claims, accusing the governor of misleading the public and shifting blame.
The party alleged that Adeleke was responsible for the salary issues, claiming he refused to release electronic payment vouchers and other financial documents needed for processing payments.
APC also said pension-related records, leave bonuses, cooperative deductions, and other financial data had not been made available despite repeated appeals, insisting that funds were properly accounted for and available for use if approved.
The party urged pensioners and workers to seek clarification, insisting the situation could be resolved if the governor allowed due process to take place.
