The Senate President, alongside his entourage, who arrived the stadium at about 3:30 pm, is expected to receive former governorship candidates from the ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP), including Retired General John Sura, former governorship candidate of Labour Party (LP), Patrick Dakum, former Senator I D Gyang, and former Governor Caleb Mutfwang’s political adviser, Latep Dabang.
The Senate president is also expected to receive senators, and current members of the House of Representatives into the APC, amongst thousands of members from other political parties.
