Governors, Ministers, National Chairman of APC, Senator Abdullahi Adamu and Party leaders are among the dignitaries expected to attend a grand reception in Uyo on Saturday, April 16, 2022 in honour of Senator John James Akpanudoedehe.
The reception is organized by the State Chapter of APC in honour of Senator Akpanudoedehe for his meritorious service to the Party as National Secretary between June 2020 and March 2022.
“We are expecting thousands of our members and dignitaries from across the country, including some of our governors, our National Chairman, National Assembly members, Ministers and Akwa Ibom people from the 31 Local Government Areas at the Grand Reception”, said Archbishop Samuel Akpan, the Chairman of the Planning Committee.
In the meantime, the Party is working round the clock to put finishing touches to all arrangements.
Says Obong Augustine Ekanem, State Party Chairman, “This grand reception is a token of our appreciation to Senator Akpanudoedehe for serving the Party so selflessly since its formation in 2013. His service as the National Secretary for almost two years was particularly outstanding”.
Senator Akpanudoedehe is a founding member of APC. He was in fact a member of the Committee that drafted the APC Constitution in 2013.
Before then in 2011, he ran for the governor of Akwa Ibom State under ACN, one of the parties that fused together to form APC.
