From Yahaya Idris, Asaba
The Director-General of the Delta State Bureau for Orientation and Communications, Dr Wilfred Latimore Oghenesivbe, Esq., has congratulated the Chief Adviser to the Governor of Delta State, Chief (Senator) Dr Ighoyota Amori, JP, and former Chairman of Ethiope West Local Government Area, Dr Wilson Omene, on their successful political reconciliation.
Oghenesivbe described the development as a remarkable demonstration of political maturity, statesmanship and commitment to collective progress, urging political leaders and stakeholders across Delta State to embrace unity ahead of the 2027 general elections.
He also congratulated the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the people of Ethiope West Local Government Area, noting that the renewed understanding between the two prominent political figures would strengthen the party’s structure, deepen grassroots mobilisation and promote political stability.
The reconciliation, which took place at Chief Amori’s residence in Mosogar, was witnessed by political associates, party leaders, stakeholders and supporters.
Describing the development as a welcome step towards strengthening the APC, Oghenesivbe said dialogue, forgiveness, mutual respect and reconciliation remained essential ingredients for sustainable political development.
The Bureau Chief particularly commended Delta State Governor and APC leader, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, and former Governor, Chief James Onanefe Ibori, for their exemplary leadership, political wisdom and commitment to promoting peace between Chief Amori and Dr Omene.
He noted that their intervention demonstrated that responsible political leadership goes beyond building political structures and winning elections to include resolving disagreements, rebuilding relationships and creating an atmosphere conducive to collective advancement.
According to him, the reconciliation sends a strong message to APC members across the state that personal disagreements and political differences should not be allowed to undermine the larger interests of the party.
Oghenesivbe maintained that unity was indispensable to electoral success, stressing that a politically united party enjoys stronger grassroots mobilisation, effective coordination, improved internal communication and greater stakeholder confidence.
He further called for collective responsibility among party leaders, elected officials, political appointees, ward executives and grassroots supporters to strengthen internal democracy and ensure inclusiveness in the party’s activities.
The Director-General consequently urged aggrieved APC members, political leaders and stakeholders across the 25 local government areas of Delta State to embrace genuine reconciliation, put past disagreements behind them and work towards a common political objective as preparations for the 2027 elections gather momentum.
He warned that persistent disagreements, factionalisation and internal hostility could weaken the party’s political strength, insisting that dialogue, forgiveness, inclusiveness and loyalty to the collective interest must take precedence over individual ambitions.
Oghenesivbe said the Ethiope West reconciliation should serve as a model for other political blocs and tendencies across Delta State, demonstrating that political disagreements could be resolved through constructive engagement.
In his words:
“The reconciliation between our respected leaders, Chief Ighoyota Amori and Dr Wilson Omene, is a commendable demonstration of political maturity and statesmanship. It reinforces the understanding that no individual interest should supersede the collective interest of our great party and the people of Delta State.
“I commend His Excellency, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, and our respected former Governor, Chief James Onanefe Ibori, for providing the necessary leadership and encouragement towards this laudable reconciliation. Their commitment to peace, unity and political harmony deserves recognition and emulation.
“As we approach the 2027 general elections, this is the time for every aggrieved member of our party across Delta State to embrace reconciliation. We must put the past behind us, close ranks, strengthen our political relationships and work together as one indivisible family. Unity is our greatest political asset, while collective responsibility is the foundation of sustainable political success.”
He congratulated Chief Amori and Dr Omene for demonstrating that genuine political leadership was measured not only by influence and followership but also by the ability to build bridges, accommodate divergent interests and promote peaceful coexistence.
Oghenesivbe expressed optimism that the renewed political understanding in Ethiope West would translate into stronger party cohesion, increased grassroots participation and improved cooperation among political stakeholders, ultimately advancing the interests of the APC and the people of Delta State.
He urged party faithful to sustain the reconciliation process, respect constituted party leadership, promote issue-based political engagement and avoid inflammatory statements or actions capable of reopening old wounds.
The Bureau Chief reiterated that peace, unity, mutual understanding and collective responsibility must remain the guiding principles of APC political engagement across Delta State.
He expressed confidence that a united and well-coordinated APC would be better positioned to earn the confidence and support of the electorate in the 2027 general elections.
Oghenesivbe also thanked Governor Oborevwori for appointing Dr Wilson Omene as Executive Assistant on Security, urging him to justify the confidence reposed in him by the governor through dedicated, transparent and exemplary service to the state.
