Despite joining the party barely a week
following his defection from the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, Umana Umana, a
former secretary to the Akwa Ibom
government, has clinched the All
Progressives Congress, APC,
governorship ticket.
Mr. Umana will represent the APC in
next year’s Akwa Ibom governorship
election.
Shortly after he was declared winner in
the elections held at the old Uyo stadium,
thousands of his supporters trooped to
his private residence for a victory party
that lasted till the early hours of Friday.
Some of the prominent supporters at the
victory party included Ime Umana, who
joined in chanting, dancing and
jubilating over the victory.
Mr. Umanah dedicated the victory to
God and attributed his win to the
resilience of the Akwa Ibom people.
According to Ime Umanah, the victory
“signalled the beginning of a revolution
to free Akwa Ibom people from the
slavery of the last eight years under
Godswill Akpabio.”
He urged all supporters of the party to
mend their differences and go all out
during the elections proper and ensure
that Mr. Umana was elected as governor
of Akwa Ibom State come February 28,
2015.
Witnesses said the election had become
violent at some point, and that at least
one person was shot.
Mr. Umana was in the contest against a
former minister of state for Federal
Capital Territory, Akpan Udoedehe, and
a former military governor of Rivers
State, Sam Enwang.

signalled the beginning of a revolution
to free Akwa Ibom people from the
slavery of the last eight years under
Godswill Akpabio.”

the APC should give the flag to Senator Akpan Udo. This umana guy was bad of the evils of Akwa Ibom state. He collaboed to rig out Senator Akpan Udo in 2011 and served fully in Akpabio's government.

The greatest undoing is picking someone from Uyo senatorial district APC.

If an Eket senatorial district governor was chosen with an Uyo senatorial district vice, there would have been prospects.

PDP takes it home because they will field an Eket senatorial district candidate, the vice from Uyo will pick up votes from there and ikot ekpene will instinctively vote for Eket senatorial district because of the Akpabio influence and the zoning in place.



All I see APC doing is bloodshed in 2015
