The African Action Congress (AAC), Akwa Ibom State chapter had unveiled Mrs. Caroline Danjuma as the running mate of its governorship candidate, Mr Iboro Otu, in the 2023 general elections.

The party disclosed this on Monday in statement jointly signed by the State Chairman and Secretary, Mr. Utip Etiebet and Mr. Gabriel Ekpo respectively.

In the statement titled: “Mr. Iboro Otu of the African Action Congress Picks Mrs. Caroline Danjuma as Running Mate,” the party said Danjuma was chosen based on her exemplary life, love for humanity, leadership ability and commitment towards the betterment of Akwa Ibom communities especially and Nigeria in general.

“On behalf of our great party, the African Action Congress and the Iboro Otu Governorship Campaign Organisation, we write to inform members of our great party, Akwa Ibom state citizens and fellow Nigerians of our party’s deputy governorship candidate for the 2023 elections in Akwa Ibom state in the person of Chief Mrs. Caroline Uduak Danjuma.

“Chief Mrs. Caroline, the Obong Uwana of Eket, is an international businesswoman, award-winning actress and philanthropist.

“She is from the family of the former paramount ruler of Eket, His Royal Majesty, Edidem William Esiet Ekwere.

“She is a lover of education with two masters degrees – an MBA and a Masters in International Law and Diplomacy (MILD) – among a host of other international and national educational qualifications.

“Some of her outstanding works include her support in separating the conjoined Ayeni Twins, advocating for the rights and freedom of Lybian slaves, feeding over 3,000 people on numerous occasions, providing medical assistance to women requiring fibroid operations, providing free IV financial assistance and empowering female entrepreneurs.”

AAC has now joined the league of parties who go for celebrity running mates. Nollywood star Tonto Dikeh is doing same for the ADC in Rivers State and Funke Akindele is running mate the Lagos PDP candidate.

While reacting to this, Nigerians are wondering if indeed these politicians are ready to win the election or they are our to make interesting movies.
