Leaders and stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta South Senatorial District are set to converge in Oleh for the official declaration of the lawmaker representing the district in the National Assembly, Joel-Onowakpo Thomas, as he signals his intention for a second term.
The announcement was contained in a formal notice issued on behalf of the senator, inviting key party executives and stakeholders across the eight local government areas of Delta South to witness the declaration, an event expected to attract significant political attention within the state.
According to the notice signed by Emma Amgbaduba, the declaration will take place on Friday, May 1, 2026, at Oleh Township Stadium in Oleh, Isoko South Local Government Area of Delta State, with proceedings scheduled to commence at 11:00 a.m.
The invitation specifically calls on all State Working Committee members of the APC from Delta South, State Executive Committee members, Local Government Area chairmen and their executive teams, as well as ward chairmen and their executives across the district to attend the event.
Party insiders say the declaration forms part of ongoing political activities ahead of the 2027 general elections, as key actors within the APC intensify consultations and grassroots mobilization.
The notice emphasized the importance of unity and collective commitment among party faithful, urging invitees to participate actively in what it described as a crucial gathering for the progress and electoral success of the APC in Delta South.
“This important gathering is an opportunity for members of our great party to come together in unity and solidarity as we work towards sustained victory and development in Delta South,” the statement noted.
The declaration is also expected to reinforce the party’s “Renewed Hope for M.O.R.E. Agenda,” a slogan aligning national APC objectives with local development aspirations in Delta State.
The event is expected to serve as a rallying point for party cohesion in the district, while also setting the tone for campaign strategies and alliances ahead of the next electoral cycle.
