The leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Akwa Ibom State has assured loyalists that their preferred candidate, Mr Akan Udofia would be on the ballot in the Match 2023 election as his name had since been forwarded to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC as the authentic candidate of the party in the state.
The declaration by Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Mr Umana Okon Umana at a stakeholder meeting in Uyo last weekend brought some relief to supporters who had become apprehensive over the continued delay by INEC to recognize Udofia as the candidate.
