Governors elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and who would be completing their second term in May, are at war with the leadership of the party over their ambition to go to the Senate.

Indications emerged yesterday that the governors have been mounting pressure on the party’s national chairman, Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu to cede senatorial tickets in their various zones to them.

2015: Oro Governorship Aspiration Divides Eket Senatorial District

“I very much doubt their sincerity…. I find it very difficult to ‘see’ or be persuaded to ‘believe’ that the current cream of political leaders of Ekid would sincerely support Oro to pick the 2015 governorship ticket.”

-          Mr. Ita Awak, from Oro, former commissioner for information.

“The argument that it is Oro's turn to produce the Governor in 2015 is puerile and not feasible. I am saying that it would serve Oro interest better if they showed greater commitment in their conducts and comments to respecting the Ibibio majority and dialoguing with them for more inclusiveness for Oro people rather than the current grandstanding and empty bragadacio”

-          Nsima Akpan, former chairman, Onna Local Government Council

The Oro ethnic group in Akwa Ibom State is convinced that they are the right people to produce the next governor of the state in 2015, and they have stepped up their political campaign to that effect through online, conventional media, and bulk sms. But that seems not to have gone down well with others, especially the Ibibio and Ekid, in the Eket Senatorial District.

Mr. Victor Iyanam, the former attorney-general and commissioner for justice in Akwa Ibom State is very straightforward about his desire to see the Secretary to the Akwa Ibom State Government, SSG, Mr. Umana Okon Umana becomes the next governor of the state in 2015.

Victor Iyanam told Daily Independent in an interview, “Oron people would be better off with Umana”. He said what is at stake in 2015 is the Akwa Ibom project, and not the senatorial project.
