2015: Akpabio Insists on Eket Senatorial District

Says opposition spends an estimated N4m on campaigns daily...

Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Godswill Akpabio says the next Governor of the state must come from Eket Senatorial district. Chief Akpabio made the disclosure during the 2014 Solemn Assembly of the state held yesterday in Uyo.

Dr. Akpabio said Akwa Ibom indigenes from any zone are qualified to vie for the Governorship seat, but assured the people that the next Governor will be an Ibibio man of Eket Senatorial District extraction.


He also said less than Four million naira is being spent by opposition on a daily basis to sponsor campaigns of calumny against him and his family through text messages and advertorials and advised the people to shun ethnicity and continue praying for the development of the state and nation at large.

Chief Akpabio who is from Ikot Ekpene Senatorial district was elected Governor of the state in 2007 after Oblong Victor Attah from Uyo Senatorial District had served two terms from 1999 to 2007.

Feelers from some quarters in Uyo Senatorial district are demanding for a return of power to the majority in 2015, a situation that has witnessed huge criticism and resistance withing and outside the state.

The 2015 elections which is less than twelve months away will witness a stiff battle between Governor Akpabio and power brokers from Uyo Senatorial district, who are determined to wrestle power back to their fold.
