A diaspora political group of the ruling All Progressives Congress ((APC) based in the United States of America (USA), has applauded moves by the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, to reform the party in Akwa Ibom State ahead of the next polls in 2027.
The ambassador of the group, and APC stalwart in the state, Dr. Marshall Umoren, commended Akpabio’s continued strides in rebuilding the party to a winning team, and expressed optimism that at the end of the rebuilding process, the APC would be in good stead to take over the state in 2027.
“We want to commend the Senate President for demonstrating high capacity and to show appreciation for the integrity and soaring standing of the party leadership in the state. He has as well affirmed his sworn position to exhibit continuous loyalty and a firm commitment to help build a virile party capable of commanding the needed confidence of winning over the state in future political elections,” he noted.
Umoren, who expressed the position of the group in an interview released in Uyo, the state capital, was reacting to recent assurances credited to the Senate president, over his decision to use his influential political position for the betterment and development of the state, across party lines.
Akpabio had during his Sallah meeting with his constituents drawn across different political parties, assured of good governance at all levels, as well as the need to collaborate with a view to delivering the dividends of democracy to Nigerians.
At the constituency meeting, the senate president declared his intention to work for the development of Akwa Ibom State in line with President Bola Tinubu’s “Renewed Hope Agenda” under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)-led government of governor Umo Eno.
