Not only is Udom Emmanuel from my Local Government (ONNA) he is also from my clan, but will i be voting for him? NO WAY! why? well, very simple we do not want a third term for Akpabio. That is what we will be voting for (a third term for Akpabio) should Udom win. The guy is no doubt a puppet and we the Ibibios believe that Udom has sold his soul to that Annang man. Imagine going for an Annang man as his deputy. We need to rise up and vote Akpabio and his cohorts out of governance for good. Enough is enough abeg 1 Like |

tempest01: Without sentiments, your post is correct. Those that are against Udom are just sentimental. Umana is not what Akwa Ibom needs perhaps if it was 4 or 8 years ago, when anyone could become a governor without us caring about his antecedents. People keep saying no state should be against the federal power but APC had states that were not in alignment with the center...so, what are people saying? Let PDP learn to be in the opposition and be diplomatic with the centre. Cross River has been in alignment with the centre and yet Tinapa lay there as a monumental waste. Akwa Ibom was in alignment with the centre but we did not really have a federal presence except in agriculture and that was a little. The road to Cross River from Akwa Ibom is in shambles, so what has an alignment brought us? Was Umana not part of the old government? Now on to politics, Akpabio did wrong no doubt but Akpabio's control over Udom will greatly reduce because he will no more have a backing from the central government; Udom will no longer be a puppet as people are envisioning. 1 Like |

Had APC fielded a 'better' candidate, they would surely have taken d gov seat, UOU is detasted by many in akwa ibom state who see him as one of those that've drained akwa ibom funds; he's been in government through Victor Attahs regime to Akpabios. Had Udom Emmanuel not been hand picked by Akpabio, he would have cruised to d governors seat without stress viz his credentials. Akwa ibom votes based on d senatorial districts; Uyo senatorial district (majority), Ikot ekpene s.d., Eket s.d. will likely go this way; Ikot Ekpene s.d.-------Udom Emmanuel Uyo s.d---------------Umana O. U. majorly but strong showing by Udom Emmanuel Eket s.d--------------U.O.U.60% Udom 40% ( bearing in mind that Oron nation is for U.O.U. n Udom's vote in eket axis will b split with mma Esuene, Bishop etc. Taking d demographics of d voting pattern, Udom cuts across all d senatorial districts n will take d seat bearing in mind that d rigging apparatus is still with akpabio. So Akwa Ibom is PDP 2 Likes |

I am always disturbed when i see Nigerians bring in tribal sentiments into matters that involve the development of the state and country at large. For God's sake even if Umana Okon Umana is from my village, i will not vote him. because, he's a greedy person. Umana Okon Umana is one of the strong men who fought Akpabio's way into office back in 2007, he has been in Akpabio's administration for 7 years as a Godfather. he decamped last year to APC. If Umana claims Akpabio is corrupt, then he himself is definitely corrupt. There's no far political relationship between udom and umana. Umana though Akpabio will bow down for him, by the way it's eket turn to rule Akwa Ibom if we must follow the zoning formula. If i was to vote for APC, it can never be umana. He is a wrong choice of APC in Akwa Ibom and i want the national body of APC to be very careful of him cos he's a traitor. |

I've read through almost all the positions of respondents above me, and guess what, most persons think this is a forum to attract votes for his/her preferred candidate in the forthcoming Akwa Ibom guber election. Especially the APC supporters here. Some of the reactions here lack direct touch with reality on ground in AKS. Take for instance the support UOU enjoys from Don Etiebet and Victor Attah as touted here as being enough to give him sufficient votes to win the elections. Impossible. I'm from Ikot Ekpene Senatorial District, particularly Atuekong Don Etiebet's LGA. A free a fair election was conducted in Don Etiebet's Ward and polling Unit in the March 28th Elections, guess what, PDP, still won, both in his Unit and his Ward with about 90%. This was despite the fact that he went home a few days before that election, called a meeting and impressed upon his people to vote out PDP. Okay, u may say, it won't happen that way again in the April 11th Poll. You are correct, but is it possible for him to win for APC 50% of the votes there(in his Ward and Unit) not just his entire LGA)? Hell NO! What of that of Victor Attah? Certainly, the former governor enjoys a little support from his people, but to what extent? Can he influence 50 % of his people's votes for APC? Hell no, again. Were he the kind of Governor, Akpabio is, who has largely empowered his people and developed his place he would be certainly enjoying the kind of cult-like fellowership Akpabio enjoys, not just in his Ward, LGA, Fed. Constituency, but his entire Senatorial District. The issue of APC winning Eket Senatorial District is just laughable. APC will only have about 70% of Oron Votes. Don't forget that the Present Minister of Housing is from Oron, the Senator elect of Eket Senatorial District is from Oron, the 5 local Government Chairmen or the Oro nation are still all loyal to PDP, 2 of them are candidates of the party for the State Assembly polls. There are councillors, Supervisors, Board Chairmen, Commissioners, SAs and PAs to the Governor from Oron who are all loyal to the party and desirous to deliver their respective Wards so they can be favoured in the incoming PDP State government. But note this, the votes of the entire 5 LGAs of Oron is not as much as the votes of Oruk Anam and Essien Udim, put together (I'm speaking from available statistics, one may go and confirm). And these are some of the vote basket LGAs that PDP would harvest 80% votes. Also, given that Udom Emmanuel, who is from Eket Senatorial District is sure to be given between 60-70% of the votes there. Now the only Senatorial District that will favour the APC Candidate UOU is the Uyo Senatorial District. Mind you, the candidate of APC is disfavoured by the extant zoning system of the State. So many persons from his Senatorial District, Uyo, even his LGA, won't vote for him, let alone other Senatorial Districts of the State. I can go on and on. Truth is UOU can have 40% of the vote casts for the elections, despite APC winning at the centre. And in worst case scenario, Udom Gabriel Emmanuel of PDP will have over 50% of the votes cast in the State. Quote me after April 11th! |

Re: Opinion: Can Apc Wins The Governorship Seat In Akwa Ibom State? by Appliedmaths(m): 2:44pm On Apr 06, 2015 |
I love your analysis, but you see Umana Umana is an aggrieved politician. PDP in Akwaibom operates with the zoning formula, and its the turn of Eket local government to govern the state. VictorAttah, Uyo. Akpabio, Ikot ekpene, and now Udom is representing Eket. Please I observe that most of you don't really understand the politicking in Akwaibom state. An agreement was made, under the PDP which Umana Umana was part of, now the same man is crying blue murder. Akpabio is not imposing Udom on Akwaibom people, he is only trying to keep his words and also the unity of the PDP in Akwaibom state. As an Eket man, an also a supporter of the PDP, I welcome the competition but I'm sick of Umana and his baby politics. |

As an ibibio man, people will understand if I vote for UOU. But i support APC in this gubernatorial race not because of where am from but for equity. We have 3 major ethnic group in the state, the Ibibios, the annangs and the oron people. The first 2 have had their turn at the highest political office in the land, so it is only fair that the Oro nation should produce the next Governor. The running mate in the APC is an Oron man, hence my primary reason to vote APC. On a lighter note, my secondary reason is because no true Ibibio son or daughter has been in the government house for 8 years and if PDP wins that will make it 12 or 16 years. Having said that, we will never separate politics from ethnicity no mater how altruistic we are. My take. |
Re: Opinion: Can Apc Wins The Governorship Seat In Akwa Ibom State? by hobat4cash(m): 3:23pm On Apr 06, 2015 |
jimmiedave:You see i don't people like you for insulting the Ibibio race, its the greedy ones amongst us that i blame. Afterall someone said that we will become ineffective majority, but God pass am. Lets assume PDP wins the upcoming election, that will make 3 different administration. The first one an annang man was involved, the second one they were involved now the third one they will be involved again abi? While the biggest ethnic group in the state will be involved just once abi? Ineffective majority abi? God pass una i repeat. |
