“We are looking for the best to entrench the
uncommon transformation which the governor has started,” Ekpo posited. “In fact
even if a credible person comes from Ikot Ekpene Senatorial, the person should
be considered for the position.”
The PDP chairman maintained that the issue of zoning
has been over flogged pointing out that whoever God wants to take over from
Akpabio will naturally emerge in good time and people of Akwa Ibom State will
collectively appreciate him or her.
Mr. Ekpo urged Akwa Ibom people to regard the issue
of Akpabio successor as a brotherly and peaceful transition and in the spirit
of fairplay.
He stated that he was not comfortable with the
degree politicians were taking the issue of 2015 as it affect governorship
position.
“Please let us remember that after the governorship
contest, we must remain fellow Akwa Ibom brothers and sisters, everybody should
be very mindful of what he or she does today because tomorrow is another day.”
