The people of Ikono Local Government Area have unanimously passed a resolution to cast their votes to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for sustainable development.

Emmanuel Ukpong, the people said, the Peoples Democratic Party is the only political party that is posed to transform the country and bring dividends of democracy to the doorsteps of all Nigerians and as such, Ikono people will not waste their votes but give it en bloc to the PDP.
Hon. Udofia who spoke during a stakeholders meeting held at Primary School Ibiaku Ikot Ukana over the weekend stated the people’s resolve to vote massively for all PDP flagbearers starting from President Goodluck Jonathan, Chief Godswill Akpabio for Senate, Mr. Udom Gabriel Emmanuel to occupy the Hiltop Mansion and Deacon Iboro Ekanem for House of Representatives.
He thanked the people of Ikono for supporting him to emerge victorious at the PDP primaries and announced that aside from fulfilling his earlier electioneering promises to the people, he has also promised to attract a ten kilometer road network which he said will soon be constructed, one kilometer each per ward to ease the problem of poor road network.
He remarked that, it has come to the notice of Ikono PDP stakeholders that some chapter officers and ward chairmen who are supposed to be the leaders of the party in their various wards are indulging in anti-party activities and warned that if that continues, the state party will take decisive action against them appropriately and gave a cash donation of more than N75,000 for transportation.
Also speaking in that direction, the State Officer of the PDP, Hon. Richard Paul condemned in strong terms that activities of some officers of the party and gave strict warning that the party hierarchy will not hesitate to discipline such erring officers accordingly, and called on them to turn a new leave before adequate action is taken against them.
In his speech, the House of Representatives PDP flagbearer for Ikono/Ini Federal Constituency, Deacon Iboro Ekanem commended Hon. Victor Udofia for his selfless service to Ikono State Constituency explaining that Hon. Udofia have been weathering the storm of providing democracy dividends to the people alone without any assistant assuring the people that with him in the National Assembly and Udofia in the State Assembly, they would join forces, contribute and combine all their efforts to bring a turning point in the area of human and infrastructural development to the people in order to reposition the Local Government.
He advised Ikono people not to think of voting any opposition party, as no opposition party has good things to offer and urged those aspirants who contested with him not to claim as losers but join hands with him to form a formidable front to deliver all the PDP flag-bearers and promised to carry everybody along as well as work assiduously while in the National Assembly for the overall progress of Ikono/Ini Federal Constituency.
Addressing the crowd, a one-time Commissioner for Economic Development, Barr. Goddy Umoh, who was also the Chairman of Delegates Forum Ikono Chapter said, the long record of philanthropic gestures and humanitarian services of Hon. Victor Udofia is much adored by Ikono people and called on past representatives to come and render account of their stewardship before the people of Ikono in order to compare notes adding that those who are still sitting on the fence should join the PDP as it has a very large umbrella to accommodate enough people.
The Director General Victor Udofia Campaign Organization, Hon. Sampson Okorie commended Hon. Victor Udofia for spreading constituency projects throughout the eleven wards of Ikono and for donating twenty two cars, one hundred motorcycles and cash of N400,000 each to more than twenty people and called on those who are yet to benefit from Udofia’s empowerment programme to remain calm as the House member is poised to deliver democracy dividends to the door step of Ikono people.
