Over 5000 persons under the aegis of Ibom Unique Assembly, IUA, decamped PDP in favour of APC, Saturday in Uyo.

Elder Inemesit Essien, the National Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the group made this known to our reporter in Uyo, shortly after the group rose from her meeting at Udoumana Avenue, Uyo.

Beaming with an air of confidence, Essien spoke with assurance that the group will do political exploits for the realization of the emergence of Obong Nsima Ekere as the governor of Akwa Ibom state in 2019.

"We will work tirelessly to ensure that our Principal, Obong Nsima Ekere, emerges as governor of Akwa Ibom state come 2019," Elder Essien told our reporter.

He further disclosed that the group is highly organized and focused, with over 5000 members spread across the 31 local government areas of Akwa Ibom state.

Speaking on the leadership and organisation of the group, the national PRO disclosed that the group is headed by a dynamic president, Mr Udeme Moses James. He added that Idorenyin Ekpo, Uduak Paulinus Nati, Owoidoho Tom Akpan, and Rev. MbereObong Sam serve as secretary, women leader, youth leader, and patron respectively.

Further hinting, Elder Essien said, "We have a formidable structure with a powerful students’ wing and 31 local government area coordinators; and all of them were in the meeting today to declare our support for Obong Ekere's deserving ambition."

To further justify the stand of the group, Elder Essien pointed to some landmark achievements of Obong Nsima Ekere as Managing Director NDDC to include the construction of quality roads, rehabilitation of schools, and the floating of scholarships across the Niger Delta region.

"I tell you, if we are to see and experience a bright future of true industrialization, rapid development, and efficient management of our resources, then the option we have as Akwa Ibom people is to vote in Obong Nsima Ekere as our governor in 2019," Essien submitted.
