The State Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Akwa Ibom State, Rt. Hon. (Elder) Aniekan Akpan, has debunked the purported dissolution of the State Executive Council as false and also unconstitutional.
Elder Akpan made this known in a Press Release issued on Wednesday, October 1, 2025, at the party secretariat, in Uyo.
The Released stated as follows: “The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Akwa Ibom State wishes to address a recent wave of misinformation circulating on social media platforms, particularly on Facebook, claiming the dissolution of our duly elected State Executive Committee (Exco). We categorically state that these reports are not only false but also unconstitutional.
“As a party governed by the rule of law and our constitution, our State Exco was elected in a well-constituted state congress for a fixed term of four (4) years. Any attempt to undermine this democratic process through fabricated reports and political jobbery will not be tolerated.
“Notably, some of our elected state party Exco members have been falsely listed as members of an acclaimed caretaker committee. These individuals have already issued a press release distancing themselves from such falsehoods, highlighting the desperation and recklessness of these political bandits.
“Furthermore, we have it on good authority that the National Working Committee (NWC) of our party did not convene any formal sitting to take such a decision. The National Secretary of the PDP, Sen. Samuel N. Anyanwu, has issued a press release discountenancing such publications, affirming that no formal sitting of the NWC was held to sanction the dissolution of our State Exco.
“In light of this, we urge our members, supporters, and the general public to disregard these false reports and remain committed to the lawful leadership of our party in Akwa Ibom State. The State Exco stands firm, and we will continue to work towards advancing the interests of our great party and the people of Akwa Ibom State.
“We appreciate the vigilance of our members and supporters in reporting these falsehoods and assure them that we will take all necessary steps to protect the integrity of our party’s structures.”
