As the electioneering ahead of the 2023 elections thickens, it is imperative for the people of Ini LGA to assess, promote and support aspirants who have left indelible footprints in the annals of the LG. This was first evident when the elders, of Ikpe Ward 11 in Ini LGA under the aegis of Ikpe Ward 11 Elders Forum led by the Chairman of the group, Rev. Richard Edikpo called on the immediate past Commissioner for Agriculture, Dr. Glory Edet to contest and represent them in the Ikono/Ini House of Representatives race during an unscheduled visit on January 7, 2022. While they described the erstwhile Commissioner as an asset not only to the people of the Ntippe Ibibio but the entire Akwa Ibom state, they applauded her commitment in championing the ideologies of Governor Udom's five-point and completion agenda in the different Ministries she was appointed to head.

As one who prioritizes the welfare of her people, Dr. Edet has in various ways touched the lives of elders, women, youths, widows and the less-privileged in Ini by way of scholarships, training as well as start-up, support business packages and mouth-watering gifts to her people.

For instance, during an enlarged stakeholders get-together at the instance of the former Honourable Commissioner, the elders who spoke in oneness, appreciated the Governor for making Ini a beneficiary of his infrastructural revolution in the state and appreciated Dr. Edet for the passion she exudes in the discharge of her duties while also describing her as the one who is best fit to represent them in the House of Representatives come 2023.

In an attempt to lay to rest rumours of micro-zoning of HOR in Ini, the elders explained that there is no such document nor verbal agreement reached by stakeholders of Ini as regards micro-zoning of HOR in the area, adding that It has over time been left open for deserving sons/daughters and whoever has the capacity (from Ward 1 to 10) to represent the Federal Constituency from the area.

According to Michael Dyson "whom much has been given, much is required" ,the elders, youths and women of Ini has vowed to throw their weights behind the aspiration of their daughter, Dr. Glory Edet while adding that she has done well for her people and deserves a higher responsibility.
