•CONDEMNS ATTEMPTS TO ATTACK THE A'IBOM STATE PDP BOSS
In a resounding display of solidarity, the Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC) in Akwa Ibom State paid a high-level courtesy visit to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) State Headquarters in Uyo, reaffirming its commitment to promoting and sustaining a free, fair, credible, transparent, acceptable, inclusive, and peaceful electoral environment in Nigeria.
The IPAC delegation, comprising 18 members representing different political parties, was led by the IPAC Chairperson in Akwa Ibom State, Mrs. Blessing Umo. In his introductory remarks, Elder Inemesit Akpan, Publicity Secretary of IPAC Akwa Ibom State, took time to introduce the members of the Inter-Party Advisory Council, highlighting their respective positions as chairmen of different political parties.
In her address, Mrs. Umo, IPAC Chairperson, unequivocally stated that IPAC recognizes the Rt. Hon. (Elder) Aniekan Akpan-led Executive Committee (EXCO) of PDP as the legitimate leadership of the party in Akwa Ibom State. She emphasized that the EXCO was duly elected for a four-year tenure and that detractors are merely seeking cheap recognition.
Mrs. Umo condemned attempts by certain individuals to destabilize the party, describing them as "political jobbers" who will ultimately fail in their endeavors. She pledged IPAC's total support to the Aniekan Akpan-led EXCO, promising availability for advice and defense at all times.
Responding to the IPAC delegation, PDP State Chairman Rt. Hon. (Elder) Aniekan Akpan thanked IPAC for the show of love and solidarity. He assured IPAC that the Akwa Ibom PDP is unshakable.
The PDP Chairman addressed the recent publication of an alleged caretaker committee list, which included a card-carrying member of the All Progressives Congress (APC). He presented evidence of the individual's APC membership, including the APC card number and name in the Ukanafun APC and questioned the legitimacy of the caretaker committee.
The solidarity visit was attended by the leadership and members of IPAC and PDP, including the Secretary, Publicity Secretary, and the three Senatorial Chairmen of PDP in Akwa Ibom State.
