Akwa Ibom Governor Pastor Umo Eno has said the call for ward meetings of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the state was to fortify the grassroots structure of the party.
Speaking at Ibiakpan-Obotim Ward 2, Nsit Ubium Local Government Area of the state, during the state-wide meeting on Saturday, Governor Eno also explained that the purpose of the ward meetings was to afford the party leadership the opportunity to receive the large number of decampees who rejoined the party lately and to reinforce the party’s support base.
He, therefore called on leaders and stakeholders of the party to seek more ways to further deepen the roots of PDP in all electoral wards in the state.
According to him: “It’s been a good outing. We intend to continue to build up the party, to continue to work in our state and to continue to support our President at the centre.
“We have finished elections and people want to come back. I believe they have seen that the government is responsible and has capacity and they are convinced and are coming back of their own volition, without being pushed.
“As a good father and a responsible party, we have to open our door and everyone together, because Akwa Ibom is a PDP state and from time it has always been. So we need to build up our membership, continue to show capacity and strength in developing our state.”
