The family of Late Deaconess (Mrs) Rose Williams Isong, have been mourning their loss since she passed away on March 15, 2019, barely a week after she exercised her franchise during the governorship and states House of Assembly elections in Akwa Ibom state.

Late Mrs Isong, who died of acute diabetes and irregular heartbeat, was a native of Ikot Ukobo village in Nsit Ubium local government area of Akwa Ibom State.

According to her son, Mr Williams Isong, Late Mrs Isong was billed for her medical checkups during the electioneering period, but she turned it down for fear of being confined to the hospital bed while the elections would be going on.

Late Isong exercised her franchise at Ibiakpan Obotim Ward 1, Unit 008, according to her son. He said;

"My mother was so passionate about voting for Governor Udom Emmanuel to win the governorship elections. She was also eager to vote for Speaker Onofiok Luke to go and represent us at the green chambers. Again, she was very concerned about returning Senator Bassey Albert to the Senate".

"For these reasons, she missed her medical checkups. I tried convincing her to change her mind but she would not listen. She was very eager to exercise her franchise to satisfy her conscience. She feared that if she went for the checkup, she would be placed on a bed rest and would not be able to vote during the elections".

The people she voted for should sponsor her burial.

But how could she have skipped her check up on election day when there was a restriction on movement?

I will rather not die for a vote that does not count. RIP woman

Could this be another way to drag the governor's attention and seek for financial help?

In my own opinion, I feel they're trying to use the little Success from Delta strategy. .. Just like the trending little Success parents trying to extort more from sympathisers.

Mama might have voted for Nsima Nkere but what do I know.

Rest peacefully mama.

RIP to her.

So very well conjured to whip up public support my sister...

R.I.P to the deceased..

I'm not saying anything until I hear the other side of the story.

Don't make sacrifice that will put your family in pain and sorrow, they are the most important people in your life.

This is super story

You missed it, read it again. Her fear was that since election day is so close, she might likely be confined within the hospital when the election day comes up. Hence she will not vote as she is sure base on the critical nature of her condition that she will be given bed rest. Not that the decision happened on the exact day of the election.
You can even read where the son said he tried to make her change her mind.
