Standing Firm With Leadership : In Support of the Hon. Chairman of The APC Uhunmwonde Local Government
In recent days, the political atmosphere in Uhunmwonde Local Government Area has been unsettled by the actions of a few individuals attempting to create confusion through claims of suspending the duly recognized All Progressives Congress (APC) Chairman, Hon. Osayemwenre Osawe. These attempts, widely regarded as illegitimate and baseless, have drawn swift condemnation from respected stakeholders within the state.
Among those who have spoken strongly against these actions is the Honourable Commissioner for Water Resources, Hon. Washington Osa Osifo, who described the perpetrators as “unscrupulous elements” working against the stability and progress the administration has achieved in the past year. He emphasized that such activities do not represent the values of the APC nor the collective aspirations of the people of Uhunmwonde.
A Chairman Focused on Progress
Hon. Osayemwenre Osawe has demonstrated commitment to strengthening party structures, fostering unity, and supporting the developmental strides of the state government. Under his leadership, party cohesion in Uhunmwonde has improved, and members have expressed appreciation for his transparency, accessibility, and dedication to grassroots engagement.
His ability to work harmoniously with government officials, community leaders, and party stakeholders has contributed greatly to the stability the local government enjoys today.
The Need for Unity and Due Process
At a time when collective focus should be on strengthening democratic processes, attracting development, and supporting the ongoing reforms at the state level, distractions rooted in illegality only hinder progress. True democracy thrives on due process, respect for established party structures, and adherence to the rule of law.
The people of Uhunmwonde deserve leadership that is not only stable but also free from internal disruptions engineered for personal gain. The reaffirmation of Hon. Osawe’s leadership by credible party figures sends a clear message: Uhunmwonde stands with constitutionally recognized authority, not with factions acting outside due process.
Conclusion
The support expressed for Hon. Osayemwenre Osawe reflects the confidence the APC family and the people of Uhunmwonde have in his leadership. As development continues across the state, unity remains an essential ingredient for growth. The call is for all well-meaning stakeholders to reject divisive tendencies and stand firmly with legitimate leadership.
