President Muhammadu Buhari has appointed former Senate Minority leader,
Senator Godswill Akpabio as the National Coordinator of the Presidential
Support Committee
NAN reports that the Akwa Ibom state Coordinator
of the committee, Pastor Mfon Okon, who disclosed this on Thursday, in
Uyo, said four indigenes of the state have also been appointed into the
committee.
They include Lady Valerie Ebe, a former deputy
governor of the state as chairman, National Advisory Committee, Senator
John Akpanudoedehe, National Director – Planning & Strategy, Senator
Aloysius Etok – National Director for inter-party affairs, and the
party’s South-South zonal woman leader, Mrs Rachael Akpabio as the
National Assistant Welfare Secretary.
According to Okon, the
appointments were a reflection of the confidence President Buhari
reposed on their ability to successfully work for his re-election in the
forthcoming presidential election.
He called on the people of
the state to fully key into national politics by supporting the All
Progressives Congress to return the President, and ensure that the party
wins Akwa Ibom State in 2019.
Meanwhile, preparations are
underway by the APC in the state to ensure a hitch-free South-South
zonal flag-off of President Buhari re-election campaign slated for the
Godswill Akpabio international stadium, Uyo on December 28th.
