A cross section of Oro Nation leaders from Oro Think Tank, Oro Union and Council of Oro Traditional Rulers made up of academicians, politicians, ambassadors, traditional rulers and youth leaders, paid a solidarity visit to the APC governorship candidate, Obong Umana Okon Umana, on Monday, August 10, 2015, in his Uyo residence and reaffirmed their total support to him in his struggle to reclaim his stolen governorship mandate.
Led by Chief Okon Osung, a well-known leader of thought and political leader of Oro extraction, the group assured Umana Okon Umana that “whatever it takes for you to reclaim your stolen mandate, the people of Oro Nation will stand by you.”
He added: “We have noted the progress of your case in the governorship election petition tribunal going on in Abuja and we are very sure that the tribunal will order for another election. We will, therefore, support you to reclaim your mandate.” Chief Okon Osung also commended the APC for appointing another Oro son, Chief Ita Awak, as the spokesman of the APC in the state.
In the team with Chief Okon Osung were Amb. Dr Etim Uye and spouse, Chief Edet Nkpubre, former PDP National Vice Chairman South South, Chief Ekeng, Dr. Effiong Edunam, Chief Okokon Antigha, amongst others.
