Some Youths of Uruan led by Hon Joseph Obot, the former Transition Committee Secretary, Yesterday descended heavily on the Chapter Chairman of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Mr Obot Essien during a birthday party in Uyo.

The war broke out when the Chapter chairman mentioned that the House of Assembly seat was zoned to North -Central and the entire youths, which were majorly the supporters of Hon Aniekan Bassey raged and resorted to violence to protest the claim.


Some of the Youths were chanting that, if the incumbent, Hon. Aniekan Bassey is not given a second term, then Central Uruan is the right zone to represent Uruan in the 7th Assembly.

They were furious with the Chapter Chairman, who has openly shown his support for Hon. Tony Akan from the Northern Uruan.

In their words, the Youths said, Northern Uruan have had their turn in Hon Usenobong Akpabio for eight years, arguing that any mistake to give the ticket of PDP to Tony Akan, will plunge Uruan back into opposition politics.

The youths who threw stones and broken bottles to send people scampering, also shot into the air and chased all the elders who were in the function, shouting, 'No' to Northern Uruan.

Mr Obot Essien who was left in the pool of his blood sustained injuries on his head, with his nose cut off, and he was rushed to a nearby Hospital for medical attention.
