The Executive Chairman of Nsit Ibom Local Government Area, Rt. Hon. Otobong Aaron, has pledged her support and commitment to grassroots mobilization for the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Governor Umo Eno, declaring that she is a mobilizer and ready to support every legitimate effort aimed at galvanizing votes for the party ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Rt. Hon. Aaron made the declaration when the Akwa Ibom State Executive of the APC Door-to-Door National Campaign Organization, led by its State Coordinator, Victor Oton, paid her a courtesy visit in Nsit Ibom Local Government Area.
The visit was part of the organization’s ongoing engagement with political leaders and stakeholders across the state, aimed at strengthening collaboration and building an effective grassroots mobilization network ahead of the forthcoming general elections.
Speaking during the meeting, the Nsit Ibom Council Chairman appreciated the leadership and members of the APC Door-to-Door National Campaign Organization for the visit, describing the initiative as an important platform for taking political engagement directly to the people at the grassroots.
She said she was particularly passionate about issues concerning Governor Umo Eno and the success of his administration, stressing that she would always identify with initiatives capable of strengthening the Governor’s support base and advancing his political interests.
The Chairman stated emphatically that she was a mobilizer and would support activities designed to mobilize and galvanize the people for the APC and Governor Umo Eno.
According to her, effective political mobilization requires direct contact with the people, sustained engagement and the ability to communicate with voters at the community and household levels.
She therefore expressed her readiness to work with the APC Door-to-Door National Campaign Organization, saying that the organization could count on her support as it expands its grassroots activities across Nsit Ibom and other parts of the state.
Rt. Hon. Aaron also formally accepted the organization’s request for her to serve as its Patron in Nsit Ibom Local Government Area.
She pledged to provide the leadership and support required to enable the organization effectively carry out its grassroots mobilization activities, while encouraging members to maintain unity, discipline and coordination in their engagements with the people.
The Chairman further stressed the importance of collaboration among political leaders, party structures and support groups, noting that a coordinated grassroots approach would be critical to achieving the desired electoral results for the APC.
She assured the delegation that she would work with the organization to galvanize support for Governor Umo Eno and the APC across the state, particularly as political activities intensify ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Earlier, the State Coordinator of the APC Door-to-Door National Campaign Organization, Akwa Ibom State Chapter, Victor Oton, said the courtesy visit was aimed at formally introducing the organization to the Nsit Ibom Local Government leadership and establishing a strong working relationship with the council and grassroots political structures.
Oton explained that the organization was established to complement existing party structures by taking the message of the APC directly to the people through sustained grassroots engagement.
He said the organization had continued to strengthen its presence across the 31 Local Government Areas of Akwa Ibom State, with structures extending to the ward and unit levels.
According to him, the organization is prepared to take its campaign and mobilization activities from street to street, house to house and community to community, engaging the people, listening to their concerns and communicating the programmes and achievements of the party and its leaders.
The State Coordinator emphasized that the APC Door-to-Door National Campaign Organization would work in partnership with existing party structures and other credible support groups rather than operate in isolation.
He said the organization was committed to working with Local Government Chairmen, party leaders, ward and unit executives, women, youths and other stakeholders to create a coordinated and formidable grassroots mobilization network across Akwa Ibom State.
Oton expressed appreciation to Rt. Hon. Otobong Aaron for accepting the role of Patron, describing her as an experienced grassroots mobilizer whose support would significantly strengthen the organization’s activities in Nsit Ibom.
He assured the Chairman that the organization would maintain close collaboration with the Local Government leadership while pursuing its mandate of grassroots engagement and mobilization.
The meeting ended with both sides reaffirming their commitment to collaboration and sustained grassroots engagement in support of the APC and Governor Umo Eno ahead of the 2027 general elections.
