The visitation is motivated on the fact that the State governor has just resigned or defected from the main opposition party in the country, People's Democratic Party(PDP) to All Progressive Congress (APC)which is the ruling party led by the President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The Event which takes place at the Nest of Champions (Godswill Akpabio International Stadium), Uyo Akwa Ibom State, witnessed the present of different groups to welcome the President. These include; Political groups, Stake holders, Social mobilizers, Women's groups, Youth's group, Local Government Chairmen and all newly defected EXCO members in the state were not left out.

I couldn't go inside the Stadium because of some reasons. But standing outside, I was able to spot different political groups on their colourful paraphernalia to grace the occasion. Also, there were heavy presence of Security Personnels to ensure safety and maintenance of law and order.
The number of people and groups that trooped out of the arena, was a clear indication that the 30,000 sitting capacity of the Stadium was filled to it's brim.

Another Event that occured within My Area at the same time

Also in my neighborhood was a traditional wedding ceremony which the names of the couples resemble that of my friends who had been married for six years now with two children. What a coincidental happening?
If it was only the names, and not the photograph on the advertisement flex that I saw, I would had called him on phone to ask if he wants to organize his marriage for the second time.

I also saw the news on the x platform where your state governor joined the ruling party in Nigeria. This defection to another party is not the solution we are facing in Nigeria as a citizens we need quality health care, modern class room as well as good road network. All those in power rule for their own personal interest but I pray may the regime of this current administration be a fruitful one for us. Our economy need proper monitoring so that everyone can benefit from it.
