President Muhammadu Buhari has appointed Godswill Akpabio as the National Coordinator of the Presidential Support Committee.
The Senate’s Minority Leader appointment was revealed to newsmen by Pastor Mfon Okon, the Akwa Ibom state Coordinator of the committee on Thursday.
Four indigenes of Akwa Ibom state were appointed along with Akpabio into the committee.
They include Lady Valerie Ebe, a former deputy governor of the state as chairman, National Advisory Committee, Senator John Akpanudoedehe, National Director – Planning & Strategy, Senator Aloysius Etok – National Director for inter-party affairs, and the party’s South-South zonal woman leader, Mrs Rachael Akpabio as the National Assistant Welfare Secretary.
Okon said appointments were a reflection of the confidence President Buhari reposed on their ability to successfully work for his re-election in the forthcoming presidential election.
He called on the people of the state to fully key into national politics by supporting the All Progressives Congress to return the President, and ensure that the party wins Akwa Ibom State in 2019.
