**Naija Politics: APC Holds Peaceful LG Congresses Across States** In a significant development, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has concluded local government congresses in several states across the country, including Ondo, Gombe, Enugu, Katsina, and Delta. While the exercise was largely peaceful, a violent incident occurred in Delta State, where Hon. Erhiatake Ibori-Suenu, a member of the House of Representatives, narrowly escaped an attack by suspected thugs. The congresses, which were held in 25 council areas of Delta State, were initially expected to take place at the Oghara township Stadium. However, the venue was suddenly changed to Ovade community, sparking concerns of a potential violent clash. Ibori-Suenu, who defected to the APC two years ago, was allegedly attacked by gun-wielding thugs upon her arrival at the new venue. Fortunately, security operatives attached to her intervened, and she was escorted out of the venue safely. Despite this incident, the APC successfully conducted its local government congresses in Delta State. The Minister of Aviation, Festus Keyamo, commended members of the party in the state for a successful exercise and urged them to work towards the reelection of President Bola Tinubu and Governor Sheriff Oborevwori in 2027. In Enugu State, Governor Peter Mbah commended the state chapter of the APC for a peaceful and democratic local government congress. He reassured the people of the state that democracy dividends will continue to be delivered to all sectors of the state. In other states, the APC congresses were conducted peacefully, with party leaders describing the exercise as transparent and driven by consensus. In Ondo State, the Commissioner for Women Affairs and Social Development, Dr. Seun Osamaye, dismissed fears of disputes and litigation, saying the congress in Ifedore council area reflected unity within the party. The APC's successful local government congresses across several states are a significant step towards strengthening the party's structure ahead of future elections. While the incident in Delta State is a cause for concern, it highlights the need for improved security measures during such exercises. As the APC continues to consolidate its power, it is essential for party leaders to work towards promoting unity and inclusiveness within the party. The peaceful conduct of the congresses in most states is a testament to the party's ability to manage internal conflicts and work towards a common goal.
