The Minister of State, Labour and Employment Festus Keyamo has said that membership registration and revalidation exercise in Delta State may lead to chaos if not well handled.

He asked the committee to manage the exercise to balance all Delta State’s delicate interests.

Keyamo alleged plans to hijack the exercise in the state by an unnamed political leader.

The minister raised the alarm in a protest note dated February 10th, 2021, to the National Chairman of APC Caretaker Committee, Mai Mala Buni, the Deputy President of the Senate, Ovie Omo-Agege, chairman of the registration exercise in the state, Austin Wilson Anyaegbu, and other top party leaders.

According to Keyamo, there should be no discrimination in the distribution of registration materials in the state, adding as a Minister, he is not asking for any undue advantage during the registration.

He said: “As you are set to distribute your materials to the LGA coordinators on Wednesday, you must bear in mind the need to balance all the delicate interests within the APC in Delta State in such a way that you don’t put the entire materials meant for any LGA in the hands of two coordinators solely nominated by a particular political leader in the state, including myself.

“That will be unfair, unjust, and unacceptable and will be a recipe for chaos in the state. My sources tell me that this is precisely what you plan to do. You need to stop.

“The evolution of APC in Delta State is unique to the extent that a clear Party leader has not emerged under whom everyone has agreed to assemble. At least, no such decision has been taken by stakeholders in Delta State.

“I can say this confidently because I am a founding member and a leader of the Party in the State. The fact that the stakeholders have not been able to do this is a testament to the different tendencies within the Party in the State.

While we all respect and defer to positions of authority that some of us have been privileged to assume at the national level, political leadership back home is a different ball game.
