A former commissioner for health in Akwa Ibom State, Dr. Emem Wills has said that the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the State, Mr. Udom Emmanuel is not the choice of Eket people for the forthcoming governorship election.
Dr. Emem Wills who served as commissioner in Governor Godswill Akpabio’s administration spoke during the APC governorship campaign rally in Eket on Saturday. He said it was wrong for one single family in Ukana, Essien Udim Local Government Area to impose Udom Emmanuel on the people of Eket. “Eket people are not cowards. We are too intelligent and enlightened to accept such imposition,” said Emem Wills who is from Usung Inyang, Eket Local Government Area.
Dr. Wills said a governor from Eket will be the one chosen by Eket people. From the podium where Wills was addressing the rally he pointed his finger at the direction the Akwa Ibom APC governorship candidate, Mr. Umana Okon Umana was with other dignitaries, and said joyfully “I can see the people’s governor over there!” The crowd responded with clapping of hands and shouts of ‘UOU! UOU! UOU!’
Dr. Emem Wills accused Governor Akpabio of playing politics with the money he (Wills) said was given to the people by Mobil Producing Nigeria as oil spill compensation. He said Eket people should reject PDP, and vote for the APC candidate, Mr. Umana Okon Umana as the next governor of Akwa Ibom State.
“I was a member of PDP, I can tell you that there’s something fundamentally wrong with PDP,” said Dr. Wills.
The president of Eket All Stars, Mr. Joseph Nsima led other members of the club executive to the rally to endorse Mr. Umana for the February 28 governorship election.
