In a significant move to strengthen the grassroots mobilisation machinery of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Akpet/Abini Ward ahead of the 2027 general elections, the Ward Leader of the party, Engr. Evong Moduck Evong, has donated a bus to the APC family to support movement, grassroots mobilisation, and campaign activities across Akpet Central and surrounding communities.
The presentation of the bus took place during a strategic stakeholders’ meeting of APC Akpet Central held yesterday, where party leaders, stakeholders, elders, and loyal party members gathered to review the party’s preparedness and strengthen its structure ahead of the 2027 elections. The donation is expected to enhance the movement of party members, campaign teams, volunteers, and supporters while facilitating stronger engagement with communities across the ward.
Prominently branded with the “5 Over 5” campaign message and featuring the images of APC leaders and candidates from the Presidency down to the State House of Assembly, the bus represents more than a means of transportation. It serves as a visible demonstration of the ward leadership’s commitment to strengthening the party’s campaign machinery and ensuring effective grassroots mobilisation ahead of the elections.
Among the prominent personalities at the meeting were the APC Ward Leader, Engr. Evong Moduck Evong; Ward Chairman, San Otei Epom Obu; former Ward chairman, Mr. Franklin Egbai; Hon. Statilus Amang Ikenga; Dr. Ojobe O. Egbai; Mr. Moduck Samson Evong; Mr. Ojah Ojah Igri; and several other stakeholders and committed members of the APC family.
Outside the presentation, the meeting was convened to strengthen internal coordination, consolidate the party’s grassroots structures, deepen engagement with voters, and develop effective strategies capable of positioning the APC for a decisive victory in 2027.
