In a recent plea to President Bola Tinubu, Dr. Sylvester Onoyona, the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for the Isoko Federal Constituency in the 2023 House of Representatives election, has called for a restructuring of the party's reward system to honor the dedication of its faithful members across the nation.
Dr. Onoyona's journey into politics under the APC banner was marked by steadfast determination to bring change to his constituency in Delta State, South-South Nigeria. Despite tempting offers from the rival Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), he remained committed to the APC's vision for progress and development.
His decision to step down from a Senate race to contest for the House of Representatives demonstrated his unwavering loyalty to the party's directives, despite personal ambitions.
During his campaign, Dr. Onoyona garnered immense support from the people of Isoko, advocating for integrity, national solidarity, and patriotism as the core values of the APC. Despite facing challenges, his candidacy gained momentum, becoming synonymous with hope and progress for the Isoko community.
However, despite his efforts and those of countless other APC candidates nationwide, the post-election landscape has left many party faithful feeling neglected and overlooked. Dr. Onoyona highlights the disparity in appointments, noting the absence of representation for Isoko Nation in federal positions.
He emphasizes the need for President Tinubu to engage directly with grassroots party members and ensure equitable distribution of appointments to reward their hard work and dedication. Dr. Onoyona stresses the importance of fairness and inclusivity within the APC, urging the President to address the grievances of party loyalists who feel sidelined by the current administration's appointment process.
In conclusion, Dr. Onoyona's call for President Tinubu to prioritize the recognition and reward of APC faithful resonates with a broader sentiment within the party. As the APC navigates the challenges of governance, ensuring the inclusion and satisfaction of its members will be crucial for maintaining unity and advancing its agenda for national development.
