Press Release: We Are United, Says Akwa Ibom APC

PRESS STATEMENT

Our attention has been drawn to a news item circulating on several online platforms, titled “Exclusive: Fresh Crisis rocks A/Ibom APC over Ekeres prospective nominees”, with a rider that reads, “Udoedehe, UOU, Oro Stakeholders kick as Akpabio seeks to take too many positions”.

This piece of story is one in the many works of fiction that PDP sponsored writers and internet rodents are daily churning out in their desperate attempt to deceive, cajole and distract attention from their political misfortune in Akwa Ibom State.

The Peoples Democratic Party in the state has clearly and correctly read the mood of the people against the groundswell of popular desire for change of guard at the Akwa Ibom State government house, as can be seen in the daily growth of support for the APC and abandonment of the sinking government of Mr. Udom Emmanuel, thus this panic mode, which they have activated.
However, while we appreciate the fact that the PDP, going by this story, has already conceded defeat in the 2019 governorship election in the state, we find it preposterous for them to also go ahead to prophesy on who gets what offices in the incoming government of Obong Nsima Ekere for the victorious party.

The story is nothing but a tissue of the writer’s imagination, false in its entirety, and merely created to distract members of the All Progressives Congress in the state from the final decimation of what remains of the PDP in the state and the clinical removal of oxygen from its life support where it is currently hanging. Having expected the APC to disintegrate as a result of what they felt were differences in the party, the PDP cannot still live with the shock that the APC has been able to weld the different segments of its support base into an impregnable, unstoppable and united battle tank ready to give the PDP the most crushing defeat in the history of elections in Akwa Ibom State.

We appeal to APC supporters to ignore such a worn out propaganda tactics and keep pressing on until victory is achieved. We urge our supporters not to be distracted by the antics of the panic-stricken PDP, as the APC remains united in one accord to ensure the election of Obong Nsima Ekere as the fifth democratically elected governor of Akwa Ibom State to be sworn-in on his birthday in the fifth month of 2019.
