Guber 2015: Ibiono Ibom CAKA supports Effiong Abia

 

The recent move by the national body of Coalition for Akwa Ibom Agenda (CAKA) a frontline socio political organization in the State to woo the commissioner for Rural Development Barr Effiong Abia to contest the forthcoming 2015 gubernatorial election in the State has been applauded by the patron of Ibiono Ibom Chapter of the group, engr. Kufre Ekong Inyang who also described the move as a bold step taken in the right direction by the leadership of the group.

Reacting after the national hierarchy of the group visited the council of Oron Traditional Rulers to prevail on the Royal fathers to plead with their son Barr. Abia to hearken to the clarion call by the group, Engr. Kufre Ekong Inyang said Ibiono Ibom Chapter of CAKA who heartedly aligned with the national body on the choice of Barr. Effiong Abia because of his pedigree, honesty, experience and above all being a brilliant and outstanding student of the “College of Uncommon Transformation” headed by His Excellency Obong Godswill Akpabio, who deem it fit with the ruling party in the State to zone the 2015 governorship position to Eket Senatorial District.

Engr. Inyang advised ethnic jingoist against attaching ethnic coloration to this mind boggling political issues noting that since the creation of the State 26 years ago, Uyo Senatorial District has produced two elected governors thereby occupying the hill top mansion for 10 years while Ikot Ekpene Senatorial District is about serving out its 8 years in the mansion, advising that for equity, fair play and justice, 2015 governorship should be unanimously zoned to Eket Senatorial District with an Oron man given the consideration, for undiluted principles of total inclusion and oneness to prevail.

He commended the national coordinator of CAKA, Hon Edeke Edeke for piloting the affairs of the group successfully and registering the group officially with the State Government expressing the hope that with the new instrument of authority he will lead the group to its Eldorado.

In his speech, the Ibiono Ibom chapter coordinator of CAKA, TP Usen E. Umoren said the group has mapped out some strategies to redouble its enlightenment machinery to all nooks and crannies of the local government.

While assuring of making Ibiono Ibom a base for CAKA, he thanked the special adviser Bureau of Political and Legislative Matters AKS, Otuekong Emmanuel Ibiok for issuing the group with the certificate of recognition.
