Chief Ayirimi Emami, the leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta South Senatorial District, has expressed confidence that the party’s chairmanship and councillorship candidates will win the upcoming Delta State local government election if conducted in a free and fair manner.
Speaking in Warri, Delta State, Emami made this declaration while presenting campaign materials to the party’s chairmanship candidates in Warri South, Warri North, and Warri South-West LGAs.
Emami stated, “If there is any election, our candidates are going to win.
Therefore we must all go out and campaign; if you don’t campaign, nobody will vote for you.”
He acknowledged concerns from some supporters about potential election misconduct but reassured them of the candidates’ chances.
“I understand the fear of some of our supporters that the government doesn’t want to conduct elections but wants to write the results.
Be rest assured that if there is any election, I am confident that our candidates will win,” Emami added.
He urged the state government to ensure a free and fair election process.
“It is instances like this that make us yearn for local government autonomy, to ensure local government elections are not controlled by the state government.
If the states are advocating for state police and are also overseeing the state Independent Electoral Commission, they must ensure there is a free and fair election in all local governments in the state.”
The chairmanship candidates, including Prince Francis Yonwuren (Warri South), Chief Samson Omamuli (Warri North), and Mr. Ebieto Collins (Warri South-West), expressed their appreciation to Emami.
They assured party members and supporters of their commitment to campaigning extensively in the creeks and riverine areas to secure victory.
