The Young Progressives Party (YPP) has appointed Wisdom Udoka as the interim chairperson for the party in Akwa Ibom State, following the resignation of the former chairperson, Nyeneime Andy.
Mr Andy, a pastor, resigned as the YPP chairperson in Akwa Ibom and defected in January, alongside the party governorship candidate, Bassey Albert, to the All Progressives Congress.
The YPP National Publicity Secretary, Martins Egbeola-Wale, said in a statement on Thursday in Abuja that the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party took the decision at its 24th NWC meeting after extensive deliberations.
