2015: Will Senator Udoedehe run for governor?

Senator Udoedehe

Since we published less than 24 hours ago, Senator Udoedehe’s position against zoning of 2015 governorship in Akwa Ibom State, THINK AKWA IBOM! have received plenty of reactions through emails. Most of the reactions were clearly emotional outbursts, with people unfairly calling the former senator names. But there were a few interesting reactions, for instance, people swearing to stop Udoedehe from ever becoming the governor of Akwa Ibom State, for daring to speak against zoning!

Eeeeh! Stop Senator Udoedehe from becoming governor in 2015? But wait a minute, did Udoedehe say he is contesting again for the governorship of Akwa Ibom State? In any case if Udoedehe enters the race, don’t you all think it will make the contest more intriguing and exciting?

What’s your opinion?
