... Lauds James Iniama, Other Aspirants for Orderliness

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Akwa Ibom State has given reassurance that it will not shift grounds on its democratic ideals in the process of nominating the standard bearer of the umbrella party for the 2023 gubernatorial race.

Akwa Ibom State Chairman of the PDP, Rt Hon (Elder) Aniekan Akpan, who re-echoed the Party's assurances on Friday March 25, during the consultative visit of a governorship aspirant, Mr James Iniama, said the entrenched fundamental policies of internal democracy which the PDP in Akwa Ibom State has been noted and celebrated for, will be fully upheld to give credibility and fairness to all aspirants in the race.

"We will not change from our democratic ideals and we have said that the entire process will be very transparent and credible. It is not the first time we are doing this and we will not change in that direction", the chairman said.

Akpan who welcomed the Itu born estate manager and business man, James Iniama, specially lauded his campaign delegation for adhering to the party's directive on decorum as well as other aspirants for the orderly pre-primary engagement.

On his part, the guber hopeful, Iniama, while soliciting support from stakeholders of the party in his governorship bid, said he is ready to serve and make the party proud as governor if given the opportunity.

"I find great joy and fulfilment when I am given opportunity to serve. I find politics very sacrificial."

"I carry the Akwa Ibom dream, the dream that will offer equal opportunity to everyone.
I know the nooks and crannies of this state. I understand the needs of Akwa Ibom State and I am ready to offer solutions", said Iniama.

The guber hopeful also harped on educational development and infrastructure, making a case for agricultural development plan and more investments in the trade sector of the state.

By his consultative visit, Iniama became the tenth governorship aspirant to meet the state leadership of PDP to declare intention for run.

Were the ideals even feasible in the first place before entertaining and discarding any thoughts of changing them?
