Uyo Senate Seat: Udoedehe Draws Battle Line With OBA

-

By UbongAbasi Ise

After declaring support for Obong Nsima Ekere’s governorship ambition, the former Akwa Ibom Northeast Senator, Dr. John James Akpanudoehe, has stated his commitment towards ensuring that the All Progressives Congress, APC, takes over the seat at the Red Chambers by winning the next year’s Akwa Ibom Northeast senatorial election.
Senator Akpanudoedehe was quoted by the media to have played down the election-winning ability of the incumbent Senator, Obong Bassey Albert, who is seeking reelection to the upper legislative chamber under the platform of the Peoples’ Democratic Party, PDP. 

When reportedly asked how he is going to win Uyo Senatorial District for his party, he said: “Who is Senator Bassey Albert? Now that we have reconciled our interests, watch what will happen in days ahead. I will prove a point in Uyo Senatorial District.”
Senator Bassey Albert will be battling the APC senatorial candidate, Mr. Bassey Etim a.k.a. Bafil in the forthcoming election, and it is likely that Akpanudodehe would root for his party’s senatorial candidate.
This will not be the first time Albert and Bafil will be engaging themselves in the senatorial battle as it would be recalled how their tussle over the 2015 PDP senatorial ticket  came to be resolved after steady streak of court rulings.

More shockingly, no indigene of Uyo village has ever been elected Chair...
