Eunice Thomas host Ibeno APC, supporters, doles out 15m Naira in ‘thank you’ meeting

The chief-campaigner in the just concluded local government elections in Ibeno Local Government Area, Mrs. Eunice Thomas, has alongside her husband, Mr. Samuel Ekpenyong Thomas hosted the Ibeno Chapter of the All Progressive Congress (APC) to thank them for their steadfastness and loyalty as shown in the outcome of the recently held local elections.

The meeting held yesterday, October 8, 2024, at the party secretariat in Upenekang, Ibeno, Akwa Ibom State.

Present at the meeting were the chapter and wards executives of the party, units’ coordinators, DG of the chairmanship campaign council, party leaders and stakeholders, as well as women and youth groups.

Jundreds of supporters also thronged out to welcome Dr. Eunice and her husband, Samuel.

Dr. Thomas who spoke passionately to the lively crowd said she has been encouraged by their high spirits despite the temporary setback, to continue to mobilize and strengthen the party.

“We know we won the elections in Ibeno even though we were not announced as winners. Proofs abound. You all made it possible through your sacrifices, sincerity and steadfastness.

“Seeing you here today in very high spirits, not dampened and still roaring to go all out again for our party, the APC, has strengthened my resolve to build on the gains of last weekend”, she told the cheering crowd.

Dr. Thomas used the opportunity to salute President Bola Tinubu and President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio for their outstanding leadership roles in steering Nigeria towards the expected destination. She called for continuous support for both leaders.

In their responses, speaker after speaker acknowledged the respect Dr. Eunice has accorded leaders and stakeholders of the party, and commended her for uniting the party through her motherly, gentle and accommodating approaches to issues.

Collectively, they agreed that asides her financial contributions to the party which have given the party ‘wings to fly’ in Ibeno, it is her respect for party leaders and recognition of its stakeholders that have ensured the unity and stability of the party in Ibeno — which led to its impressive outing in last weekend elections.

Going forward, they promised to queue behind her to make the party even more formidable in future engagements and elections.
