Council Chairman declares for House of Assembly

The Chairman of Mkpat Enin Local Government Area, Mr. Ephraim Akpan has declared his intention of contesting for the House of Assembly position to represent Mkpat Enin State Constituency at the 6th Assembly. Ephraim Akpan made this declaration when he hosted Exco members of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP Mkpat Enin Chapter last weekend in his home town.

Present at the meeting were all ward Chairmen and some other stakeholders of the party. An Exco member of the party from the Local Government Area who attended the meeting informed our reporter that Ephraim Akpan had hosted his guests and informed them that he is inviting them to the meeting to inform them that he is interested in running for the House of Assembly position of the area come 2015. Akpan had solicited the support of his guests and has promised not to disappoint them. He is said to have also informed them that he is the most qualified for that position and that he will run an all inclusive government.

Speaking further, the Mkpat Enin council Boss is said to have informed them that he is not interested in going to the House of Assembly to make money as according to our source, Akpan had boasted that he had already made enough money and name for himself but that he is going to the House of Assembly because he wants to give the people of Mkpat Enin State Constituency an effective representation that has eroded them for the past years. 

The seasoned Journalist maintained that his representation will benefit the people of the area more than any other person.  He thereafter told the Party Chairman and others in the entourage to take the message of his ambition to the various wards, nooks and crannies of the Local Government Area.
