A chieftain of the Peoples’ Democratic Party, PDP, in
Onna Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State, Rev. Usoro Daniel Usoro has
asked his kinsmen to ignore the romour that President Goodluck Jonathan told
the Secretary to Akwa Ibom State Government, SSG, Mr. Umana Okon Umana not to
contest the 2015 governorship election in the state.
“I and some political leaders in Onna have
investigated the matter, and we have found out that it was a mere political propaganda,”
Rev. Usoro Daniel Usoro who hails from Ikwe in Onna told reporters last Friday
in Abat the local government headquarters when he came out from a meeting
called to fashion out political direction for the area. “The truth is that
there are politicians who feel so intimidated by the governorship ambition of
Umana Okon Umana, and they are doing everything, including using Mr.
President’s name to try to blackmail the SSG from contesting the PDP primaries.”
