Akwa Ibom Pdp Primaries by okpoewa(m): 9:58am On Nov 30, 2014 |
AKWA IBOM STATE HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY PDP PRIMARIES UPDATE So far so good all is neither very well nor not well with Gov. Godswil Obot Akpabio of Akwa Ibom State as the results trickling in from the various centers for the house of assembly primaries seem to be in favour of the Governor's candidates and some seem not to be in his favour which portends that all may not be so easy for him as he plans to make the senate ticket his gratuity and installing his successor for pension. So far, while Ibiono Ibom which is the most populated local government in the state succeeded in returning the current serving Legislator Hon. Barr. Ime Okon against the countless exhausted efforts of his excellency to destabilize the structure in that constituency which was under the control of Mr. Bassey Albert the commissioner of finance which his excellency sacked for eyeing his office but who now harkening to the party's zoning arrangement guns for the senate seat presently occupied by the state's only truly representing senator Barr Ita Enang. Another area of concern is the Nsit Ubium State Constituency presently occupied by the governor's politically adopted son Hon Barr Onofiok Akpan Luke whom the governor's younger brother and de facto special assistant a year four student of law in the University of Uyo, Prince Akpabio personally sponsored one of his lecturers and fledging lawyer Barr Solomon Ekokoi as government house candidate against Onofiok who has held various offices from students structure to personal aid to the governor as punishment for the sin of refusing o take the locally administered oath (known as mbiam) to support whoever the his excellency brings as successor – an oath he never took to support the governor the two times he ran for the office of the governor he has occupied for the past seven years and counting. Meanwhile Obong Umana Okon Umana the estwhile secretary to state government who happens to be the most threatening governorship aspirant against Mr. Udom Emmanuel the governor’s anointed candidate hails from that local government which makes the emergence of Onofiok Luke ever more strategically significant. On the other hand, the infamous Prince Akpabio seen to have been too busy sponsoring government and family stooges that he even lost out in his own biddings for the house of assembly ticket of his state constituency Essien Udim where the state chairman of all local government chairmen Mr. Nse Ntuen emerged. And in abak state constituency the governors right hand boy and commissioner for information Mr. Aniekan Umana cowered out of the race for another trump who lost to Hon. Elder Friday Iwok the present serving law maker in that constituency amidst all the noise that he had been rejected by the Abak people. This also is another inauspicious development for the governor’s senatorial ambition being that the Abak five are strongly contending that it is their turn to take the senate. Thus, will the elder lead his people to the senate or will he submit his people for his governor? Meanwhile it seems all of the five state constituencies of the oron nation are returning fresh candidates indicating that they will not be occupying any of the principal offices in the next government which is usually not available for first timers. The implication of the foregoing is either of two: one, it could be that the Oron Nation have been totally out played by the governor’s orchestra team to deny them any reasonable hold in the next government. or two, it could be that the Oro people are closing ranks and harnessing all their strengths and interest for one purpose which the seat of the governor come 2015 and for that purpose do not want to have anybody in any situation that could be used to blackmail them Thus, here are the results that have been announced so far: Uruan State Constituency Aniekan Etim Bassey winner Nsit Ubium Constituency Onofiok Luke winner Ikot Ekpene /Obot Akara Constituency Idongesit Ntekpere Winner Essien Udim State Constituency Nse Ntuen -Winner Ibiono State Constituency Hon (Barr.)
