Whilst rejoicing with Senator (Mrs.) Oluremi Tinubu, who they described as their dear sister and mother, for the electoral victory of the incoming President, Bola Tinubu, WAPCGM, posited: “

Her disposition and efforts, also contributed to APC winning the Presidency. We strongly believe she will bring her wealth of experience to bear in Office of the First Lady of Nigeria, as a former member of the National Assembly.”

“We want to congratulate the Senator-Elect of Delta South Senatorial District, Hon. Joel Onowakpo Thomas, for his victory in the just concluded National Assembly election. The Senator-Elect, Hon Joel Onowakpo, has a track record of excellent performance when he was Chairman of Delta State Board of Internal Revenue. We also congratulate the Warri South Constituency II member-elect of Delta State House of Assembly, Hon. Benson Obire.

“The Warri All Progressives Congress Grassroots Mobilizers, salute the courage mustered by the outgoing President, Muhammadu Buhari, to carry out electoral reforms, which culminated in the introduction of the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS).

“We commend the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for the full implementation of the BVAS, which led to the drastic reduction in figures from areas where we usually have bogus figures in the past. We call on INEC to improve on its logistics department to ensuring that electoral materials are conveyed timely to various Polling Units in subsequent elections.”
