In a related development, the PDP has promised to run an issue-based campaign as the 2023 Governorship race kicks off. In a statement signed by its Campaign Spokesperson, Prince Chris Abasieyo, the party stated that with the inauguration of its Campaign Council and Committees, the party’s campaign machine has been empowered and energized to canvass for votes in the 2023 elections.
“The machine is revving its engine, set for action which starts soon with the flag-off of campaign. Considering the quality of members of the council and committees, we are confident that the machine is about to roar to victory,” he stated.
The party appreciated and thanked God for the successful inauguration and for the successes it recorded since the transition programme of Governor Udom Emmanuel since early 2022 and commended the Governor for personally performing the inauguration and for his words of wisdom, prayer and admonition at the ceremony.
“We promise him that we will give our all and not rest on our oars till victory is achieved in the elections. Above all, we will not be shaken in our belief in God as he has advised”.
“To other political parties contesting the elections, we assure of an issue-based campaign as the Governor has admonished. Our campaign will be devoid of calumny, vitriol, mudslinging and violence. We urge our opponents to reciprocate same.
“To Akwa Ibom people, we thank them for keeping faith with the PDP since 1999 and particularly in the last seven years of the Udom Emmanuel Administration.
“Moreover, we are appreciative of the support our people have given all PDP candidates, most notably our standard bearer, Pastor Umo Eno, so far. And we appeal to them to sustain the support till we triumph in the elections,” he submitted.
