The All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign rally billed for Thursday in Uyo, has been shifted to January 30, 2023.
Although what compelled the postponement could not be ascertained at the time of filing the report, but information gathered may not be unconnected with the sudden resignation of Senator Nelson Effiong, of his appointment as the chairman, Central Planning Committee of the event.
However, a replacement has been announced by the party secretary, Hon. Uwem Udoma, a former deputy speaker of the state House of Assembly, saying Obong Nsima Ekere, a former managing director of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), has been named in his stead, with the mandate to effectively prepare the ground for the rally.
Addressing journalists, Udoma urged supporters to remain calm and resolute in their support for the party, assuring that APC was on course to victory at the February polls.
He therefore, urged all APC candidates and party members across the 31 local government areas in the state to redouble their efforts at mobilizing party faithful for the rally.
