The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Akwa Ibom State has summoned all its members to a major grassroots meeting scheduled for Saturday, November 22, following a strategic engagement between the party leadership and Governor Umo Eno.
The directive, announced in a press release on Tuesday, is seen as the first major step by the Governor to reinvigorate the party’s structure since his emergence as its leader.
According to the release signed by the State Chairman, Obong Stephen Ntukekpo, the meeting is designed to “reinforce party structures, promote internal cohesion, and align stakeholders with the shared vision for a stronger, more progressive Akwa Ibom under the APC.”
The party stated that the Governor has “approved key critical engagements aimed at strengthening the party in line with the ARISE Agenda.”
The upcoming meeting is set to hold simultaneously across all 31 Local Government Areas of the state. Party faithful are expected to converge at their respective Local Government Council Secretariats by 2:00 p.m.
The party has called on “all party members to return to their various Wards/LGAs for this very important exercise,” while also urging them to remain “united and steadfast in their support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR; Senate President Godswill Akpabio, GCON; and our leader and Governor, Pastor Umo Eno, Ph.D.”
