In line with the political developments in the state, the Senate President, Senator Godswill Akpabio, has surrendered the leadership and political structure of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Akwa Ibom State to Governor Umo Eno.
Akpabio officially performed the handing over exercise of the political structure of the party at the first meeting of APC stakeholders in the state held at the state Banquet Hall, Government House, Uyo, the state capital.
In accepting the development, Governor Eno urged the party’s leadership, from the ward level upwards, to accept the movement and merge with open arms, in order for everyone to be a beneficiary of the movement.
“This is a merger, and as the Senate President has said, we must, therefore, approach it with love, unity, and understanding. There have to be some sacrifices from both ends.
“Let the leadership and members bring down the rhetoric so that we all can come together in droves and build a truly united APC in our state.
