Can Sam Ewang Defeat The Pdp In Akwa Ibom? by Nobody: 5:25pm On Nov 27, 2014 |
This was disclosed by Group Captain Sam Ewang, the party’s Board of Trustee (BoT) member, while declaring his intention to join the governorship in his Mbiaso, Ikot Nya Ward 4, Nsit Ibom Local Government Area of the state. Addressing his supporters, including wards and chapter executives, Ewang, said he was on a mission to rescue the state and its people from the malignant poverty inflicted on the people by the outgoing Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) – led government. “I am ready for the governorship of Akwa Ibom State,” he declared, amid lamentations that the common people of the state had not benefited from the current government since its inception in 2007. Ewang, former military administrator in Ogun and Rivers states, urged the people against making a wrong choice, noting that if such mistake repeated itself in 2015, the state would again be plunged into another round of suffering. “If people make the mistake again to choose the wrong choice, suffering will continue”, he warned, saying his bold entry into the party has forced some far-reaching reforms to take place. With the ranks of governorship aspirants expected to swell to about five by Friday after the defection of the former Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Mr. Umana Okon Umana, from the PDP, Ewang said APC in Akwa Ibom was no longer a one man show. He said he was determined to turn around the fortunes of the State through jobs and wealth creation, adding that his wealth of experience as former Military Administrators in two States would provide the magic wand to address some complex development challenges confronting the State. “Within three months of my assumption of office as the Governor, the people of the State will fell the positive impact of my administration. Three months in office, I will create something that will give people jobs; I am going to industrialize the State because we have a lot of things to make things happen in the State”, he stressed. Ewang, who contested the same governorship position under the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) in 2007 and 2011, recalled that his resolve not to quit the race led to the kidnap of his wife, adding that no amount of threat would deter him from prosecuting his governorship agenda to the letter. “My determination to contest the election led to the kidnapping of my wife for 28 days’, he lamented and urged new members to make themselves available for registration in line with the party’s directive tribune.com.ng/news/news-headlines/item/22603-5-aspirants-in-line-as-apc-plots-take-over-of-a-ibom 1 Like |

Sam Ewang was to the ANPP what John Udoedeghe was to the ACN. Tinubu and Buhari and also okorocha's faction of APGA did this nation a great deal of good with their resolve to join forces and take on the PDP. The Logo adopted by the APC also smack of good thinking . A broom stick can't make any clean change but a little bunch of broom can sure do wonders. Kudos to those true Democrats for the wise decision, you guys have given Nigeria a new hope and a responsible and responsive alternative. 3 Likes |

Ewang can't turn anything around in akwa-ibom. it will be a great mistake for APC to choose Ewang as its governorship candidate. he was a massive failure in Ogun state during his time. Akwa- ibom deserve the best and APC should give them the best for that much desirable change to occur. 1 Like |

Obiagelli: I was on the ground in Akwa ibom in 2011 in eket then and I witnessed firsthand how the vote was massively rigged with the connivance of youth corpers and security agencies. The mob action at uyo state secretariat also played to the advantage of akpabio who used that to police the state and prevent opposition from moving around and they were hounded on framed up charges. Udoedeghe was fighting for his freedom from the police and DSS and so was out of the state. The PDP had a field day rigging as much as they could. 2 Likes |

pendicle:Very true, i remember Udoedeghe was arrested by the police, like i said earlier i don't know how apc lost but i am sure it was intimidation, cultist were kings then. I hope it turns out differently this time. I hope Ewang and Udoedeghe join forces for the greater good. |

Obiagelli: There is also umana umana and nsima ekere and others aggrieved people who felt cheated during the last delegates election. The feeling of marginalisation by the Oro Nation is also a factor against the PDP with the likes of Larry Esin and robinson uwak leading the charge from the oron end. Udom emmanuel is an ordained candidate of akpabio and he akpabio forgot he was a candidate of the people then against Attah's decision to handover to his son in law, he is now threading same path . It is a pity politicians never learn from history . 3 Likes |

I sincerely believe the APC won't win either the governorship or presidential election in Akwa Ibom. AI is one of those states that are thoroughly one-party states, just like Enugu. BTW, any news on the State that will host APC's national convention? |

CFCfan: Lagos will clinch it, it is the flagship of the opposition and its poster boy for responsive governance. The party is looking at Teslim Balogun stadium but still concern about vehicular movement AMD arrangement for it. Probably make use of the parking lot of the national stadium at surulere. The national stadium is in such a bad state else it would have been the best location. But no definite decision yet though . The committee still working 1 Like |

p3ndy79:Ok. Lagos will be a great choice. The 10,000+ delegates would fill up the Teslim stadium nicely. But as you said, the traffic snarl on that day could be something else. |

Caseless: Won't know except I confirm from friends still in eket if he's running. I heard there is a clamour for power shift to the oron people though I don't know if there is momentum behind them cos I heard the udom is still ibibio. The oron people are marginalised in the state and they are always edge out and consumed by the majority tribes. If it is zoned then he may not be contesting. |
