The All Progressives Congress (APC) has concluded its South-South Zonal Congress in Delta State, resulting in a significant recalibration of the party’s regional leadership. Two prominent figures from Rivers State have emerged as central pillars of the new executive, signalling a consolidation of influence for the state within the party’s zonal architecture.
The exercise, which drew delegates and stakeholders from across the six states of the geopolitical zone, was characterised by a spirit of strategic realignment as the party prepares for forthcoming national challenges.
Victor Giadom has successfully secured his return to office as the APC National Vice Chairman (South-South). His re-election is widely interpreted by political analysts as an endorsement of his previous stewardship and a desire for institutional stability within the region.
By retaining this high-ranking position, Mr Giadom is expected to continue his role as a vital interlocutor between the zone and the national leadership in Abuja. His return reinforces the party’s command structure in the South-South, providing the experienced oversight necessary to navigate the complex political terrain of the Niger Delta.
In a notable transition, Samuel Nwanosike has emerged as the newly elected South-South Zonal Publicity Secretary. Mr Nwanosike, a seasoned political communicator, now assumes a strategic mandate to steer the party’s messaging and public engagement efforts across the region.
His election is viewed as a move to professionalise the party’s communication apparatus. Tasked with managing the APC’s narrative and responding to regional developments, Mr Nwanosike’s role will be pivotal in enhancing the party’s visibility and articulating its policy objectives to the South-South electorate.
The emergence of these two Rivers-born politicians at the helm of the zonal leadership underscores the state’s importance as a primary political hub. Party insiders suggest that the new executive is uniquely positioned to foster greater cohesion among the various state chapters.
The conclusion of the Congress in Delta State marks the commencement of a new administrative cycle for the APC in the South-South. With the leadership team now formalised, the focus shifts toward grassroots mobilisation and the implementation of the party’s regional developmental agenda.
