The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Akwa Ibom has promised that the
launching of the South-South zonal campaign rally of its presidential
candidate, Muhammadu Buhari, will be hitch-free.
Chairman of the
Central Planning Committee for 2019 Campaign Flag-off, Mr. Umana Umana,
told newsmen in Uyo on Wednesday that everything had been put in place
for the flag off.
He said: “It is going to be a national APC
event. We are expecting to host Mr. President in person, the Vice
President in person, the national chairman of our party, the national
leaders of our party and the national working committee, governors,
ministers and members from all over Nigeria.
“So, indeed this
rally will provide the foundation for the take-off of our presidential
campaigns and we will be expecting the 30,000 Godswill Akpabio
International Stadium to be filled to the brim.
“From the
feedback we are getting from our members all over Akwa Ibom and all of
the South-South states and from other states in Nigeria, we know that
that the stadium is going to be filled to capacity.
“The good
people of Akwa Ibom are very excited and enthusiastic and they are
waiting to receive the President. Again, we are not surprised because
the good people of Akwa Ibom have felt the impact of the good works
undertaken by Mr. President.
“We have had occasion in the past to
review the scorecard of Mr. President not just for all Nigerians but as
it affects Akwa Ibom and that is why our members in the state are very
excited.
“The good people of Akwa Ibom who are not even members
of our party are also very enthusiastic about receiving the President
and to thank him ahead of the election for what he has done for the
state, the South-South zone and the people of Nigeria.
“So,
attendance at this rally would also be a way of sending a message to Mr.
President that we appreciate what he has done for our people in terms
of the key strategic appointments which he has given to sons and
daughters of Akwa Ibom, and clearly this is unprecedented”.
