Some activities in the Raffia City of Ikot Ekpene came to a standstill on Friday 26th August, 2022 as the Nyeneime Andy-led state exco of the Young Progressives Party (YPP) stormed the town to inaugurate the local government area secretariat of the YPP.
Apostle Andy, state chairman of YPP, used the occasion to thank all party executives for standing firm with YPP, and rejecting bribes from the agents of government and PDP.
He condemned the unnecessary wasting of money on frivolities, including attempts to stop the growth of YPP and wondered why the government refused to release so much money to Akwa Ibom people in the past seven years.
"Come May, 2023, we shall have victory in all the offices we are vying", the state chairman added.
Highlights of the event included handing over of 3,000 party cards to the chapter chairman by the state chairman "for registration of all decampees into the party".
While welcoming all dignitaries to Ikot Ekpene, the chapter chairman of the party, Hon. Joshua Akpan promised the state exco and all the candidates that the secretariat will ensure smooth running of the affairs of the party.
He said the crowd that came out to welcome the YPP entourage was an indication that Ikot Ekpene has embraced YPP fully.
In his remarks, Director - General of Akwa Ubok Abasi Campaign Organization, a son of Ikot Ekpene, Pastor Sunny Ibuot, told the massive crowd that the event was "just to open the party office in Ikot Ekpene, and not for campaign".
He appreciated all who came out and urged them to be resolute in their support for YPP.
Dr. Ekong Ebienang, former INEC national official and immediate past chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), speaking on behalf of other decampees, thanked the YPP family for happily receiving all the decampees into its fold.
He promised to deploy his experience to ensure that the party succeeds in its endeavours and in the next elections.
