Governor Emmanuel denies resigning as PDP presidential campaign chairman

Akwa Ibom State Governor, Udom Emmanuel said he has not resigned as the Chairman of Atiku Abubakar’s Presidential Campaign Council.

Udom made this known on Tuesday during the flag-off ceremony for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship campaign in Uyo, the state capital.

The governor said he remained a loyal party man and won’t cave in to pressure to dump the 2023 presidential ambition of the party presidential candidate.

Udom described as false, reports that he has left Atiku and his running mate and Governor of Delta State, Ifeanyi Okowa.

He said: “I remain the chairman of the Atiku-Okowa Presidential Campaign. I am not going anywhere. They’ve seen that we are coasting home to victory, that is why they are bringing that (rumoured resignation).

“I woke up this morning to fake news that I have resigned from being Chairman of the Presidential Campaign Council and I am saying that it is not true. We are in the Presidential Campaign Council to win and we are going to win.

“They have seen that we are coasting home to victory, that’s why they are bringing that up now. So don’t listen to all those rumours. Don’t listen to that fake news. I am here, a very loyal and committed party man and I stand here as Chairman of the Presidential Campaign of Atiku, Okowa. I am not going anywhere. We are going to win together,” he stated.
