Nuhu Daniel, the liaison officer to the National Chairman; Hon. Mark Kwon, the State Auditor; and Hon. Moses Dachung Dadong, who represents Riyom in the state assembly.
The event attracted a diverse group of party leaders and supporters, including LGA executives, ward chairmen, stakeholders from the ten federal wards, and other key figures.
In summary, the ceremony underscored a strategic effort by the APC in Riyom to strengthen support, present a united front, and utilize the senator’s influence to foster party unity and drive development in the region.
