it will not be fair bros, Etinan had senator Effiong Bob as senator in 2003-2011 two -term
so where do place Uruan, Ibesikpo, who are yet to produce a senator? Nsit Atai people wants uyo fed consistuency
, how do u feel Umo Eno from Etinan fed.consistuency, senator also from Etinan

for equity and fairness in my opinion Etinan should wait till when senate return to their zone,
govnor should move to itu-ibiono, oron gets deputy govnor, speaker goes to ikot ekpene
ssg can go to etinan


True but how do we compensate Luke? He can't go back to reps like that na

Umoh Eno is going to be worse than Udom. Mark my words. He is a lap dog.

On the other hand, Onofiok is young, has been in the corridors of power and outspoken.

He will do well for AKS

This man you are very funny. We are talking about a a credible candidate with capacity for effective governance you are talking about thugs. Continue to boast in your thugs. The world has moved. Go and check out the notable endorsements of Pst. Eno, if you are not in Aks now. It's a done deal. You are not even helping OBA by mentioning that he uses thugs on a public forum like this. If a politician is not accepted by the people then he resorts to bullying.
.

endorsements ceremonies does not equals primaries, how many of them are delegates? ceremonies in the day time, secret meetings in odd hour, Akan Okon has resigned already to declare his guber intentions. umo Eno choice does not really go down well with the people cos hes relatively unknown.
some of the state excos, state house members and greater number of statutory delegates are OBA die-hard supporters, they're only keeping quiet till when the time is set. udom should shakeup his cabinet now, though it seems late, primaries is already here.

Bros Eno has been consulting statutory delegates across the three senatorial districts, whom have promised their support. Other delegates will be determined by how well udom plays his cards with the Nwc. He does not need to secure 100% of the votes, that is why it's even better for him as more people are declaring. Not also that the aspirants will be screened by the NWC. No need for long argument. This is politicking season, let watch out.

My advice to this guy is simple ...strike a deal with OBA take his senate seat while OBA becomes governor ...

The only way they can defeat that Udom candidate is to team up together ... Luke is younger he should go to senate for now who knows he might be the next senate president
The very candid advice.....

Majority of those delegates are longtine supporters of oba.eno is a stranger wasting his time.it is like amechi going to beg faleke to vote for him during the primaries...
Seriously,your support for udom candidate is annoying and nauseating.it smackks of servant syndrome.even if udom brings his wife,you will still support.unfortunately for udom,his cabinet members cannot become pdp delegates.the delegates are already known and nwc can't do anything.

Re: Akwa Ibom 2023: Onofiok Luke Declares Governorship Ambition by saintkeppy(m): 1:54pm On Mar 16, 2022
In a very fair primaries without any interference from the sitting , Senator OBA wins landslide, he is a 5-star Governorship material who feels and knows how to tackle AKS peculiar problems, his performances at the red chamber speaks volume chairing senate committee on Gas as a first timer, currently chairs upstream Oil and Gas Committee as a ranking senator, a 5-star senator for that matter, his empowerment and scholarships programmes as senator makes me wanna feel jealous smiley about Uyo senatorial district beneficiaries, at the same time happy that he could touch lives through that medium, he even accommodate undergraduates from other senatorial districts who applied and passed the aptitude test with monthly stipends.

i'm not surprise, he was also a 5-star commissioner of finance who also chaired the inter-ministerial and direct labour project committee under Senator Akpabio's administration, saddles with the responsibility of delivering thousands of top-notch,live-touching projects across the length and breaths of AKS which he did by engaging the youths, local contractors, etc as part of his effort to empower people who has something tangible to offer at each project sites thereby reducing hunger in the land.

Together with onofiok luke they offered financial assistance, job placements to whosoever that come across them.
i wish both of them well in the forthcoming primaries as they try to convince the people by tackling issues on ground for the common good of AKS People.

.

APC is yet to put their house in order both state n federal, thats why there will have been massive defections after the govnor unveils Umo Eno thats what is giving the govnor a lil strength. luke can only remain for one more term in the green chamber, to allow Nsit Ibom or Etinan to produce Member,FHOR but Hon Sam Ikon took the turn of Etinan, its now open for Nsit Ibom to bring up cadidate, for FHOR.

Senator Effing Bob took the turn of Nsit Ubium LGA for 2-term (2003-2011) where Luke hails from,its naturally open to Etinan or Nsit Ibom to produce Senator if its micro-zone to Etinan fed. consistuency for equity n fairness.

if Luke does not succeed as govnor this time, he will have to wait for 24year when uyo will produce govnor again meaning the 2 other districts will have their turn of 8years each according power rotation in the state, except miracle happens for him to emerge now, may if he decamps to APC when put they their house is inorder, or who has the APC structure in the state btw Akpabio n udoedghe, if its Akpabio he might have an easy ride to emerge, but i dont see it coming maybe 2027.
ukarapka has dropped his 2nd term bid as he has completed the turn of ikot ekpene to produce senator, Akpabio's 1term n his own term, he even endorsed Enoidem to run, it was well calculated by Enoidem, when he backed ukarakpa to run when senator Akpabio defected to APC, its fair for abak fed.const. to produce senator, which Enoidem is already consulting widely to become senator, note they never had a senator from that axis before. if enoidem succeed as senator for 8years he will be contesting for govnor come 2031, when power rotates to Abak5 , mark my word.
i so much believe in power sharing for equity, justice n fairness.

ukarakpa is from obot akara LGA while Senator Akpabio is from Essien Udium LGA both of them shared 2term senatorial seat, 1term each mearnt for ikot ekpene fed const. senator ibok Essien took the turn of ikot ekpene LGA since in 1999. senator Aloysius Etok took the turn of ikono/ini in 2003 or so.

senate has shift to abak5, which Enoidem is a frontline aspirant, from Abak fed const.

after this it will be micro zoned to oruk anam n ukanafun fed. const. to produce senator except a candidate from another party n from other fed.const. truncates the rotation arrangement.
i dont see APC pose a threat at this time in the state maybe buildup to 2027. by that time they might have sort out their differences.

Godswill Akpabio ---- Ikot Ekpene sen District

Udom Emmanuel ---- Eket Sen District

I believe the next governor should be from Uyo again. And that next governor should be someone who could develop the human resources of Akwa Ibomites. It's sad to see a state so blessed and full of infrastructures but it's citizens prefer living in slums of Port Harcourt, Aba, and other cities

add 24years to his current(44) age cos its 8years across 3 senatorial districts except miracle happens subsequently. deputy govnor slot for him if power shift to other district which to me its not bad cos he has carved a niche for himself.

You are very correct. I forgot that most times the incumbent governor runs for a second term. Effectively that means if he doesn't get it this time, he'll wait 24 years likely and that's a long time. Anything can happen by then.

If he fails to get the nomination for governorship can he still go for Senate? I'm sure it would have been late by then since the senatorial aspirant would have be selected at that time. I might be wrong though. It's a gamble, senate would have been surer for him.
