By Fejiro Oghojafor
Barely one week after successfully interacting with the grassroots in Delta State on how to reunite members and stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress, APC, the Reconciliation Committee led by the founding father of the party in the State, Olorogun O’tega Emerhor, has successfully engaged with top leaders of the party in Abuja to further deepen the process of uniting and moving the party forward.
The Secretary of the Media Sub-Committee, Valentine Onojeghuo, who spoke with our reporter on phone today, disclosed that the members of the Committee met with the 2023 governorship candidate of the party and former Deputy President of the Senate, Distinguished Senator Ovie Omo-Agege in Abuja.
Other top leaders of the party who played host to the Emerhor-led Reconciliation Team, according to him, include Festus Keyamo (Honourable Minister for Aviation) and Hon. Stella Okotete.
Describing the interaction between the Reconciliation Team and Senator Ovie Omo-Agege as very fruitful, Onojeghuo stated that critical issues on the way forward for the party were raised analyzed and agreed on.
He also disclosed that the former Deputy President of the Nigerian Senate and his team were on all fours on the purpose and objective of the party’s Reconciliation Committee.
“The Reconciliation Team had a very engaging and fruitful meeting with Sen Ovie Omo-Agege and his core team this evening.
“Critical issues and perspectives on the Unity of the party and the way forward were raised, analysed and agreed. Above all, we received his and his team’s endorsement and commitment to fully align with the reconciliation objectives of the Committee. It was a very productive meeting”, Onojeghuo said.
Also interacting with the Honourable Minister for Aviation, Festus Keyamo SAN, the Olorogun Emerhor-led Committee shared views on heartfelt mutual perspectives on how to move the party forward in the State.
The meeting with the Honourable Minister, our reporter gathered, centred on how to unite the party and its structure towards replicating the victory the APC achieved in the recently concluded Edo State governorship election.
“The Reconciliation Team had a great meeting with HM Festus Keyamo earlier today. He gave detailed and heartfelt perspectives on the state of APC in Delta State and the way forward to uniting the party and working together to replicate Edo.
Onojeghuo also confirmed the meeting of the Reconciliation Committee with Hon. Stella Okotete, was very successful, adding that she was quite blunt and responsive on issues which are of concern to her, adding that she was sincere with her perspective on the way forward for the party in the State.

“She also shared her perspectives on how to move the party in Delta State forward.
Onojeghuo further disclosed that the Reconciliation Team that met with various leaders was led by Olorogun O’tega Emerhor, the chairman of the Delta APC Reconciliation Committee and included Elder Godsday Orubebe, Sen. Ede Dafinone, Chief Evans Omatsoguwa, Hon. Doris Uboh, Chief Emuobonuvie Judith Enamuotor and Chief Johnson Opone.
It would be recalled that the leadership of the party in the State broke ranks shortly after the 2023 general elections in the State. Attempts to reunite the leaders together had led to the inauguration of a Reconciliation Committee with the founding father of the party in the State, Olorogun O’tega Emerhor as the chairman.
Also, the Secretariat Sub-Committee of the Delta APC Reconciliation Committee, headed by Elder Godsday Orubebe was also inaugurated to engage with the grassroots with the purpose of identifying the challenges of the party that culminated into the loss of the party in 2023, individual members grievances and honest resolutions on the way forward and met with stakeholders and members of the Party across the senatorial districts in the State.
