The Elders Movement in Okpanam, Oshimili North Local Government Area of Delta State, has declared its support for all candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the forthcoming general elections.

The leader of the group, Chief Gideon Dana Mokogwu, stated this during a familiarization visit to Chief Innocent Uchibuolu 

Chief Mokogwu said the visit was to familiarize with Chief Innocent Uchibuolu and to formally declare their unalloyed support for all APC candidates. 

He said the group is fully behind the APC government at all levels and appealed to the party leadership not to forget the Elders Movement in its plans and programmes.

Responding,  Chief Innocent Uchibuolu thanked the group for the visit, saying all their requests have been well noted and will be given due attention.

He described Okpanam as a town at the centre of government, noting that all hands must be on deck to achieve set goals for the community.

Chief Uchibuolu prayed for God's grace for the success of the party in the coming elections, expressing confidence that APC will win 5/5, and assured the elders that the APC will carry them along.

He urged members of the forum to always remain transparent, adding that every member of the forum will benefit from the ongoing empowerment programme of the APC.

He disclosed that some of the aspirants will be directed, as a point of duty, to visit and familiarize themselves with the Elders Forum.

Chief Uchibuolu also advised all members who are yet to obtain their Permanent Voter Cards (PVC) to take advantage of the ongoing Continuous Voter Registration exercise, stressing that without a voter card, no one will be valued politically.

He said politics is all about loyalty and urged the elders to vote 5/5 for the APC in the coming election for sustained growth and development of Okpanam, Delta North and Delta State in general.
