As part of its preparation to hitch-free primaries and general elections in 2019, the Akwa Ibom State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has commenced “Ward Congresses for the selection of Ward ad hoc delegates in all the 329 wards of the state.”
The exercise, according to information before Ibom Telegraph’s political desk, was sequel to a directive by the PDP state leadership as part of its programmes for landslide victory in 2019.
A statement signed by the State Publicity Secretary of the party, Comrade Ini Ememobong, said “the Congress will hold at all the ward headquarters from 11 am. The posting of officials for the exercise will be communicated to necessary authorities.”
“Ward chairmen are advised to ensure that the exercise is conducted in a rancour free environment, as any recorded violence will lead to a cancellation,” the statement added.
At the State Secretariat of the party along Edet Akpan Avenue, Uyo, officials of the party were seen going in and out, attending to potential aspirants to various political offices who were undergoing screening.
