He added that several top political leaders, including the Senate President, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and a number of APC governors, have confirmed their attendance at the event.
“I spoke with the governors under our great party, and many have assured me of their presence. The Senate President and the Speaker have also agreed to come. So, we’re going to have a full house again,” he said.
Nentawe further revealed that Architect P.D. Gyang has been appointed as Chairman of the Central Planning Committee for the event, with other committee members to be announced soon.
