The
attention of Mr. Umana Okon Umana, Secretary to Akwa Ibom State Government
(SSG), has just been drawn to a false publication on the internet which claimed
that the SSG desperately sought endorsement of his party to run for governor at
the last stakeholders meeting of the Peoples Democratic Party (Uyo Senatorial
District) held on Sunday 28 April 2013 in Uyo, and that the SGG sponsored a
story in a local newspaper ahead of the end of the meeting to the effect that
he has been adopted as the sole candidate for the 2015 governorship election in
the state. We reject as complete falsehood all the insinuations and claims of
the said publication to the effect that the SSG wanted the meeting to adopt him
as the sole candidate of the district for the 2015 election. What happened at
the meeting, already clearly stated in a communiqué, will be summarized below.
But first, let us look at the author of this false publication so that the
public can then determine who to believe.
