EtimEtim writes about the prospects of a new political association, All Democratic Alliance, which submitted its application for registration to the Independent National Electoral Commission few days before the reception held in Uyo last Saturday to formally welcome Governor UmoEno of Akwa Ibom State to the ruling All Progressives Congress.
Governor UmoEno of Akwa Ibom State was formally received into the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Saturday, June 21, 2025 in a huge rally in Uyo; attended by dignitaries from across the country, including Vice President KashimShetima; Senate President GodswillAkpabio; 21 APC governors; NWC members and other party chieftains.
The 30,000-capacity football stadium was full to capacity with overflow swarming adjoining streets. No fewer than 30 private jets were parked at the airport on the outskirts of Uyo as at 1.30 pm when the event began at the stadium. APC now has 22 governors, four of whom are in the South-South region – an unexpected turn of events for a party founded 12 years ago.
