The Forum of Akwa Ibom State PDP Governorship Aspirants otherwise called the G22 has restated its complete rejection of the purported candidature of Mr Udom Emmanuel as the PDP flag bearer in Akwa Ibom State.
In a memo to the Governor and signed by all 22 of them, the Forum said they rejected Udom, Akpabio’s maternal cousin, because the processes of his alleged emergence were fundamentally flawed and totally unacceptable.
The Forum commended Governor Godswill Akpabio for initiating a meeting with all the 23 governorship aspirants in Abuja on Friday and for expressing his willingness to, jointly with them, find a way of resolving the impasse that has engulfed the governorship primaries of the party in Akwa Ibom State.
The Forum agreed with the Governor that the only realistic approach to the effectual resolution of the matter was an urgent meeting between the National Leader of the Party/Mr President, the National Leadership of the Party, the Governor and the 23 Governorship aspirants in the botched primaries.
The Forum said the letter was written at the instance of the Governor to enable him arrange the said meeting and accelerate the process.
The Forum declared its resolute commitment to the re-election of President Goodluck Jonathan.
The Forum expressed hope that collectively the matter would be harmoniously brought to successful close in due deference to transparency, democracy and good political conduct, bearing in mind the ultimate desire that PDP not only retains Akwa Ibom State but provides a leading light in the support of the re-election of President Jonathan which the current political situation in the state completely negates.
