Akwa Ibom APC Petitions Buhari On Appointments

The Akwa Ibom State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC has petitioned the presidency over what it claimed as the appointment of non-party members into Federal Government positions.

The petition authored by the chairman of the state chapter of the party, Ini Okopido was dispatched for the presidency to note that such actions were weakening the foundations of the party in the state, publicity secretary of the chapter, Nkereuwem Eyongkere, said in a statement on Wednesday.

He said:

“The State Chapter in the said letter, lamented that even in the second term of the administration, President Muhammadu Buhari, which the party had expected to benefit from the robust relationship of 2019 elections and for obvious reasons, that he will learn from the mistakes of his first term, but unfortunately, the news of every new appointment from Akwa Ibom State has been so nerve wracking and disquieting to the members of APC in the State, thus weakening the threshold of our party in the state as genuine members who have sacrificed their useful resources are completely cheated out.

“The letter underscored among such political appointments, that of Mr. Oboro Effiong Akpabio, Ambassador designate, as one of the persons the party is not very sure if he is from the state as he is unknown to the party and its members.

“The letter noted if such trend is not discontinued, will surely discourage members from giving their best to make APC work in Akwa Ibom State and thereby hampering the build up towards 2023.”
