Akwa Ibom State Governor remains Chairman of PDP Presidential Campaign

The Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Organisation has debunked stories making the rounds that the Akwa Ibom State Governor, Udom Emmanuel, had contemplated resigning his appointment as the Chairman of the Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Council calling it fake news.

The  Spokesperson for the Atiku/Okowa Campaign Organisation Kola Ologbondiyan in a press Statement assures Nigerians as well as all pro-democracy and development partners that such an idea is not in the contemplation of the Akwa Ibom State Governor, Emmanuel.

Ologbondiyan said Governor Udom Emmanuel, at the Flag-off of the PDP Governorship Campaign which was held at the Nest of Champions Stadium in Uyo, the Akwa Ibom State Capital, declared that the rumor it’s a lie “from the pit of hell” and that he remains the Chairman of the PDP Presidential Campaign Council.

“The appointment of Governor Udom Emmanuel as Chairman of the PDP Presidential Campaign Council was predicated on his belief and commitment to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, the ideals of our founding fathers as well as his unwavering confidence in our Presidential Candidate, Atiku Abubakar, as the leader that has the required capacity to lead the charge to rescue and rebuild our nation”, he said.

Ologbondiyan added that governor Emmanuel is “effectively and committedly leading a successful campaign that will take our Party to victory and will not be distracted by the wishful thinking of the enemies of Nigeria”.

He said the Atiku/Okowa Campaign is urging Nigerians to ignore the fake news as it is coming from people who desire to confuse the polity to derail the electoral process. “We caution those behind this wicked rumour to desist from such and know that they are fighting a lost battle as Nigerians across the board are already rallying with the PDP and cannot be swayed by fake news”.
