In a related development, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has expressed sadness over the demise of Akwa Ibom State Chairman, Ini Okopido.
He died Wednesday at the Ibom Multi-specialty Hospital (IBH), Uyo, the state capital.
APC spokesman, Yekini Nabena, in a statement said Okopido will be sorely missed.
He noted that the party has lost a gentleman and grassroots politician who was at the forefront of mainstreaming the APC as the party of choice in Akwa Ibom State.
Nabena recalled that Okopido was a stabilising force who provided a listening ear to all party supporters, members, leaders and other stakeholders not only in Akwa Ibom but across Nigeria.
He said the deceased, “was a critical partner in the ongoing reconciliation and repositioning efforts being undertaken by the Governor Mai Mala Buni-led APC Caretaker/Extra-ordinary National Convention Planning Committee.”
