The All Progressives Congress, APC, in Akwa Ibom State is set to commence campaigns for the October 5, 2024 local government elections in the state.
Chairmen, APC, Local Government Campaign and Planning Committee in the State, Senator Ita Enang who spoke on Tuesday in Uyo, said the campaigns will commence on 18th September at the Ikot Ekpene Township Stadium.
Enang expressed confidence in APCs victory in the forthcoming council polls in Akwa Ibom, notingb that President Bola Tinubu had taken a bold step in granting local government autonomy in the country.
He also expressed confidence that the governor, Pastor Umo Eno as promised would maintain his stand on granting a level playing field to all parties during the polls even as he expressed reservations on the fairness of the AKISIEC chairman, Ikoiwak following his antecedents.
Enang who claimed that Akwa Ibom is APC but unfortunately governed by the PDP, said the party has quality candidates who are not only ready to win elections but have the capacity to bring in dividends of democracy like tarring of roads, promotion of agriculture, management of local education authority among others, which he claimed were not carried out by the PDP council members.
