Women’s Wing of AACP To Invade LGAs In A’Ibom
The Women’s Wing of the African Action Congress Party ( AACP) has been advised to take advantage of the party’s strength across the country to invade the entire local government areas of Akwa Ibom State, to mobilize more members for the party come 2023 general elections.
The State chairman of African Action Congress Akwa Ibom State, Hon. Elder Fred Obot, gave the advice during the party’s women’s wing meeting in Uyo last week.
The chairman said the party had never in any way neglected women in the party. This is for them to understand that they are strong tools when it comes to the issue of politics at all levels. “Now that you are involved, despite the uphill task, you should not leave any stone unturned, be committed by serving the party to achieve its purpose come 2023 general elections”, he said.
He announced a special training and empowerment programme for them to be engaged in meaningful venture while also having the opportunity to host meeting with those new members so as to educate them about the progress of the party. He commended them for their massive turnout during the meeting which he said is a sign of seriousness for business.
The state woman leader of the party, Mrs Mercy Okon, acknowledging the chairman’s advice, assured the party of the women’s ever readiness to help the party succeed.
She advised the women to be united in their responsibilities to the party, advising that as virteous women in their various families, they should not let the party down.
Mother of the party, Deaconess Eno Akpan, encouraged the women to embrace politics despite the challenges, understanding that women also play a great role in the party and since they have been discovered, they need not take it for granted but ensure the purpose is achieve at last.
