Barely 24 hours after Mr. Peter Akpanke dissociated self from the campaign council of the factional candidate of the PDP in the October 31st 2020, CRN senatorial district rerun election, he has been nominated into the campaign council of Rt. Jarigbe Agom’s campaign council.
Mr. Peter Akpanke is the President/Founder of The Akpanke’s Foundation, a nonprofit and humanitarian organization that has touched the lives of most vulnerable persons in the northern senatorial district and is said to have a broad support base across the district.
He is said to be a staunch supporter of the Member of Parliament, who he believes is a pathfinder and the hope of the northern senatorial district of our dream.
Though, Mr. Akpanke cited non compliance with with Democratic tenets by Dr. Stephen Odey over his inclusion into his campaign council, it is a known fact that his attachment and support for the MP is the major reason for his dissociation.
This is however the first time since the return to democracy in 1999 that two persons are laying claims to the party ticket.
