Akwa Ibom Local Govt Polls: Eunice Thomas steers APC to early lead in Ibeno

Published

on

The opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) is taking the lead in today’s local government election in Ibeno, as early results from polling units indicate a clear advantage for the party.

This comes as a surprise in a stronghold traditionally controlled by the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP), which has the local government chairman and a House of Representatives member from the area.

However, the strong showing of the APC is being attributed to the influence of the party’s prominent leader in the area, Dr. Eunice Thomas. It is generally believed that she has significantly revived the party’s fortunes in the local government area. Her leadership is said to have contributed significantly to the party’s success so far in the polls.

Meanwhile, today’s election exercise has been largely peaceful, with both APC and PDP members commending the calm atmosphere at polling stations across Ibeno. As collation of results continues, all eyes remain on the final outcome of the polls.
