It was all excitement for the constituents of Akwa Ibom Northwest Senatorial District yesterday as Senator Godswill Akpabio, accompanied by Obong (Dr.) Nsima Ekere, the governorship candidate of All progressive congress, APC, disbursed to the beneficiaries the sum of  N250,000 entrepreneurial and  agricultural grants at an event held in Ikot Ekpene, the headquarters of the Senatorial District.

Akpabio, who is currently representing the senatorial district at the upper chamber of the national legislature, flagged off the entrepreneurial and agricultural cash grants for his constituents yesterday.

In his remark, Senator Godswill Akpabio assured the duo of Obong Nsima Ekere and President Muhammadu Buhari of maximum votes at the polls next year.

“Your Excellency, Nsima Ekere, you need about 850,000 votes to win the governorship election. Ikot Ekpene Senatorial District will give you and President Buhari 500,000 votes. You just need few votes around Uyo Senatorial District and Eket Senatorial District.
"When you go to Abuja, tell Mr. President, if he plans to campaign in Akwa Ibom State, he should remove Ikot Ekpene Senatorial District from his campaign itinerary. His vote is 100% intact. Obong Nsima Ekere, we will do same for your own," he said.


Another eventful moment came when Mr. Amama Aloysius, the former transition chairman of Obot Akara local government, defected with thousands  of supporters from PDP to the APC.
