NDC AKWA IBOM REJECTS LOKOJA COURT RULING, VOWS TO PRESS AHEAD WITH 2027 MOBILIZATION
The Nigeria Democratic Congress [NDC], Akwa Ibom State Chapter, has rejected the recent ruling of the Federal High Court in Lokoja, describing it as “an act of distraction” designed to derail the party’s growing momentum ahead of 2027.
Addressing journalists during a World Press Conference held today at the NDC State Party Office, 252 Oron Road, Uyo, the State Chairman, Dr. Bassey Willie, charged party leaders, candidates, and members not to be deterred.
“We are not distracted. This is a political stunt, not a legal setback. I hereby call on all our members and candidates to proceed with full force in their Units, Wards, LGAs, and Senatorial District consultations,” Dr. Willie said.
He urged leaders to prioritize Effective Mobilization, Unity, and Commitment, insisting that the party’s eyes remain fixed on NDC Victory in 2027.
“Let no courtroom in Lokoja stop our work in Ikot Ekpene, Uyo, Eket, and across Akwa Ibom. The Movement is alive, organized, and moving forward,” he added.
The Akwa Ibom State Political Leader of NDC, Rt. Hon. Chief Sunny Ibanga, aligned with the State Chairman. He urged members and candidates to take the message of NDC to every nook and cranny of the State ahead of our victory in 2027. He further called for synergy and unity among party faithful for the actualization of our mandate in 2027.
