2023: Senator Bassey Albert joins YPP

Senator Bassey Albert Akpan, popularly known as OBA and wife, shook the political foundation of Akwa Ibom State today as they officially transferred their membership to the Young Progressives Party (YPP)

OBA, the senator representing Akwa Ibom North East, resigned his membership of PDP on Friday July 15, 2022.

At a brief ceremony witnessed by a tumultuous crowd of supporters and well-wishers at Ibiono Ibom Eastern 1 ward, the Senator and wife, Imaobong, who enjoy mass followership of their people, picked  membership cards number 3887 and 5006, respectively.
After Senator Akpan and wife completed all  the party membership documents before the ward chairman, their cards were later presented to them by the state chairman, Pastor Nyenime Andy, on behalf of the party.

While welcoming OBA and wife into the  new party, Andy said YPP has become the fastest growing party in the state with the senator’s entrance.
In appreciation of his people and the party, OBA, on behalf of his wife, family and supporters, declared himself a vessel in the hand of God to bring positive change to Akwa Ibom state.

He said though some persons boast in their financial warchests, they can never buy the conscience and the rights of the people.

“Today, a new Akwa Ibom births. Akwa Ibom for you and Akwa Ibom for me. Akwa Ibom where there will be justice for all”, he said, commending Pastor Andy for rejecting all financial inducements from dubious elements to do wrong.
He offered himself to God, Akwa Ibom people, and the party to use him to change Akwa Ibom State.

He said 2023 will be about “character, competence and capacity”, assuring that he will never let Akwa Ibom people down.

He pledged that he and his teeming supporters were joining the party to help build and improve the foundation so that it can form the next government of Akwa Ibom state.
