Ikono Clan in Uyo local government area has decried many years of marginalization under successive government of the Peoples’ Democratic Party, PDP, and has decided to pitch its tent with the All Progressives Congress, APC, with the hope to have a new lease of life should the APC take over power in Akwa Ibom State.
During the inauguration of the executive members of Ikono Wards 8 and 9 Political Forum in Uyo recently, Mr. Clement Ekott, who chaired the event, lamented how the two wards in Ikono clan have been sidelined in the affairs of Uyo local government area, declaring that it is time to reverse the trend by voting Obong Nsima Ekere and other APC candidates into power.
“We have been greatly marginalized in this state and it is time we rise up in unity to bring in another government that will favour us and also create room for us to be part of instead of sidelining us all the time.
“Ikono in Uyo has always been the deciding Wards in Uyo local government area yet greatly underdeveloped; we have played this politics and have seen the arrangement; All Progressives Congress has become a stronghold in Akwa Ibom State and Nigeria therefore, we have decided to stand firm with APC, as the PDP has disappointed us. Politics is not a dirty game as posited by others but a worthwhile affair and I implore you not to insult your Elders nor engage in violence during the elections but cooperate with the leaders of this Forum and APC party officials in voting in the preferred candidate, Obong Nsima Ekere,” he said.
Therefore, to usher in a new administration that will salvage the wards from many years of marginalization, Ikono Wards 8 and 9 Political Forum appointed Otunba James Udoma to Chair the group. Pastor Effiong Ekarika was appointed Secretary, while Obonganwan Dora Ebong, Mr Austin Bassey and Emmanuel Hogan were appointed as Executive members of the Forum.
Addressing the forum, Arc. Essien Nkanga, former chairman of Uyo local government council,  congratulated Otunba James Udoma in his new leadership appointment noting that he has a place in politics and will accelerate to a greater height in due time while praying God to grant him success and the people to support the appointee.

In his remarks, the newly appointed chairman of the forum, Otunba James Udoma assured the forum that all the rights denied the clan by the previous administrations will be restored by the incoming dispensation of Obong Nsima Ekere.
Udoma pleaded the Elders of Ikono Wards 8 and 9 to back the new executives in their prayers and wise counsel, while praying for development in Ikono clan and Uyo local government area as a whole.
Also, the Secretary of the Group, Pastor Effiong Ekarika urged everyone to firmly support and vote in Obong Nsima Ekere as his administration will resuscitate Ikono to her primacy of place in the league of communities in Uyo local government area, and at the same time, get them closer to the Government House.
The event brought together the people of Ikono clan in their large number. It also witnessed the formal reception of Mr. Clever Wisdom, being a strong APC member in Bayelsa State, into the Group who promised to support the forum in achieving their set goals.

By UbongAbasi Ise "Eat and remember the soil because it is human's brother' - Ibibio Proverbs There is a distinct community amongst the 22 villages of Offot Ukwa Clan called Uyo Village. This is the village where Mr. Udom Emmanuel, as Akwa Ibom State governor, is having his office. This village hosts the state judiciary headquarters, Police "A" Division, Nigerian Prisons, Fire Service, State Library headquarters, Uyo local government council, Anchor Insurance, Ibom Plaza, banks, and motley of business organizations. This community is the root of Uyo metropolis, the seat of Akwa Ibom State government. Ironically, this village has never had any indigene appointed as a commissioner into the state cabinet before. None of the indigenes has ever been a Permanent Secretary to any of the state ministries. They are not appointed into boards. They are also eluded by government contracts. More shockingly, no indigene of Uyo village has ever been elected Chair
