The Campaign Ward Coordinators for Godswill Akpabio in the 2023 Akwa Ibom North West Senatorial District election recently came together to pray for Senator Godswill Akpabio to mark his one year in office as the Senate President.
In a solemn assembly held on Thursday June 13, 2024 at the Akwa Ibom North West Senatorial District Constituency Office in Ikot Ekpene and attended by all the 108 Campaign Wards Coordinators from the 10 Local Government Areas of the Senatorial District, the group thanked God for the successes recorded by the Senate President in his one year in office and prayed God’s guidance, protection and boundless grace upon him to continue to pilot the affairs of the 10th Senate as President and Chairman of the National Assembly.
The group also expressed satisfaction with the Senate President’s successful and impactful one year in office and thanked him for justifying their support and that of the electorates by living up to the expectations of the people of Ikot Ekpene Senatorial District and Nigerians.
According to the group’s Coordinator General and anchor of the Solemn assembly, Prince Bartholomew Ekpenyong, the decision to meet was in recognition and celebration of what God used them, as foot soldiers, to do during the 2023 Senatorial election and to also pray for the Senate President, Distinguished Senator Godswill Akpabio.
“We decided to come together as a group to pray for our dear Senate President and to foster unity and togetherness amongst us as the closest people to the grassroot, and to strategize further on ways and means of expanding the support base of the Senate President”, Prince Ekpenyong said.
Also speaking at the event, the group’s Adviser, Hon. Oscar Udom, enjoined the Coordinators to believe in the group’s unity and always remember to pray for the uncommon Leader, the Senate President. He added that God’s blessings await them as the Senate President is a promise keeper and transformational Leader who will remember their unflinching steadfastness by rewarding them through employments, appointment or empowerment.
Other Key officers of the group who were part of the Solemn assembly include: Hon. Anthony Tom – Deputy Coordinator, Dr. Emaitoro Nseyo – Secretary General, Aniefiok Ogwu – Publicity Secretary and Akanimo Sam – Director of Mobilization.
It is noteworthy that these Campaign Ward Coordinators are the men, who did not only mobilize votes from the units and up to the Ward collation centers, but also stood firm to defend the votes that ensured the victory of the Senate President, Sen. Godswill Akpabio in the 2023 Senatorial election.
