By UbongAbasi Ise

Having seen massive turnout of Akwa Ibomites at the event of her visit to the State on Friday, Nigeria's First Lady, Dr.  (Mrs.) Aisha Buhari was of belief that Akwa Ibom truly belongs to the All Progressives Congress, APC, predicting that soon Governor Udom Emmanuel and wife, Martha, will have to join the APC.
Mrs. Buhari, on arrival at the Victor Attah International Airport, was actually received by the wife of the Akwa Ibom State Governor, Mrs. Martha Emmanuel, but the former preferred to ride with the wife of the former state governor, Mrs. Uloma Akpabio to the APC Campaign Ground in Uyo after security fracas between the state government and the APC orderlies at the airport was resolved. 
During her keynote address in Uyo, Aisha Buhari said that with Senator Godswill Akpabio, Akwa Ibom State will enjoy more dividends of democracy under the leadership of President Buhari and even udom Emmanuel and his wife will join the APC.

She expressed optimism that her husband, President Muhammadu Buhari, will be reelected in the next year's presidential election with Senator Godswill Akpabio leading the APC campaign.
The Nigeria's First Lady through her pet project, Future Assured Initiative, in collaboration with the National Directorate of Employment, NDE, and the office of Senator Godswill Akpabio empowered 11,600 Akwa Ibom Women and youths in Uyo weekend.
On his part, Senator Godswill Akpabio, who sent the mammoth crowd exhilarating, extended congratulatory greetings to Mrs. Martha Emmanuel for coming out to receive the President's wife, but refer to her as the wife of the outgoing governor.
While lauding Buhari-led APC government for its fight against corruption as well as various social safety net initiatives aimed at alleviating poverty, Akpabio said corruption leads to poverty and poverty in turn deepens corruption, adding that by seeking to reduce poverty through social protection programmes, the Federal Government is tackling the root cause of corruption in Nigeria.
He said his allegiance to the APC is informed by President Buhari's love for Akwa Ibom State as the federal government for the first time since the return to democracy in 1999 now brings dualized roads, railway and other infrastructures to the state including numerous federal appointments given to the Akwa Ibom indigenes, a development that sharply depart from the past.

Meanwhile, the Essien Udim PDP Chapter Chairman/Deputy Chairman of the State Chapter of Chairman's Forum, Mr. Ntiedo Usoro, had defected along with 156 Chapter and Wards Executives of the PDP to the APC in the presence of Dr. (Mrs.) Aisha Buhari during the women and youths empowerment programme at Uyo campaign ground.
