The Arewa community in Aniocha South Local Government Area of Delta State has pledged to mobilise its members in support of candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The commitment was made during a political sensitisation meeting organised by the Chairman of the Delta State Muslim Pilgrims Welfare Board, Alhaji Auwalu Tukur, in Ogwashi-Uku.
The meeting brought together members of the Arewa community and APC stakeholders, with Tukur urging participants to take an active interest in the electoral process and ensure that they are adequately prepared for the 2027 elections.
Tukur called on the community to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, former Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, former House of Representatives member Ndudi Elumelu and the APC candidate for Aniocha South State Constituency, Hon. Isaac Anwuzia.
According to him, members of the community had benefited from appointments and other opportunities under the Oborevwori administration, urging them to remain united and support the administration and candidates he identified with the APC.
“We have come to sensitise our people and urge them to come out en masse and vote for APC in 2027. We want our people to support our President, our Governor and all the APC candidates,” Tukur said.
He specifically appealed to members of the community to support Okowa in the Delta North Senatorial District and Elumelu in the Aniocha/Oshimili Federal Constituency.
Tukur also described Anwuzia as a popular politician in Aniocha South and urged members of the community to support his candidacy.
The chairman commended the Arewa community for participating in the voter registration exercise, particularly Alhaji Yunusa Gugu, whom he credited with mobilising more than 1,000 members of the community to register.
He urged the group to sustain its mobilisation efforts and participate actively in the electoral process, stressing the need to translate political mobilisation into actual votes during the 2027 elections.
Arewa Community Promises Five-Over-Five Support
The Sarki of Ogwashi-Uku, Alhaji Zayyanu Abdulkadir, assured the delegation that members of the Arewa community would support APC candidates across the various elective positions.
Abdulkadir said the community would work towards what he described as a “five-over-five” support for the party’s candidates in the 2027 elections.
He called for unity among members of the community and sustained engagement ahead of the elections.
Also speaking, the APC Chairman of Aniocha South Ward 2, Jude Nkwo, commended Tukur for bringing members of the Arewa community together for the sensitisation meeting.
