Former Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Senator Godswill Akpabio, who is also the Senate Minority Leader, will chair the event, while the Chairman of BUA Group, Alhaji Abdulsamad Rabiu, will perform the traditional turning of the sod to herald the construction of a befitting plaza for Nigerian editors in the Federal Capital Territory.

The 2012 Africa Cup of Nations champions visit the 2013 winners in a match of high importance at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo, which should determine the swing of Africa’s Group B ticket to football’s biggest house party in Russia next year summer.

Platinum Stars ace, Brian Mwila, and K.V Oostende midfielder, Emmanuel Banda, can’t participate in the game after failing to recover from injury, and Coach Wedson Nyirenda has since replaced the duo with Power Dynamos midfielder Alex Ng’onga and Zesco United’s John Ching’andu.

Akpabio has uncountable reasons to rejoice in the choice of his successor but his continual gloating on how Emmanuel was discovered enlivens suspicion that he was driven wholly by self interest and that he is disappointed since Emmanuel has proved that qualities of a robot are not running in his veins

The challenges no doubt, acted as the catalyst which propelled him into vowing that, if he would ever become a ‘somebody’ in life, those conditions and situations that stood between their success in life would be tackled head long so that those coming after them will not be bugged down with such difficult conditions in future
