The Secretary to the Akwa Ibom State government, SSG, Umana Okon Umana
has denied the rumour that he has withdrawn from the 2015 governorship race in
Akwa Ibom State.
“We want to state categorically that this is yet another lie targeted at
the SSG. The latest lie comes on the heels of the recent fabrication, since
found out by members of the public to be a blatant lie, that the SSG was
presented to the President as the state’s PDP gubernatorial candidate for
2015, who rejected and barred him from running for governor,” says
Mr. Iboro Otongaran, the head of Umana’s media team, in a press statement
issued on Wednesday.
“We would therefore like to inform members of the public and
the numerous supporters of Mr. Umana Okon Umana that his position about
his future has not changed,” the statement reads. “As he had said many times in
the past, at the appropriate time, Mr. Umana will tell the good people of Akwa
Ibom State what his plan is for the future.”
The statement says the SSG remains “totally committed to the
continuing success of the Akpabio administration, and hereby urges
every Akwa Ibom man and woman to pray for and contribute in whichever way
possible to the enduring success of Akwa Ibom State.”
