2023: Senator Akpan preaches faith in God

The Senator representing Akwa Ibom Northeast, and governorship aspirant , Senator Albert Akpan has said that only the will of God would be done in the 2023 gubernatorial race calling on his supporters to keep faith.

Akpan spoke yesterday when he consulted stakeholders of Itu local government area to intimate them that his governorship aspiration was still intact, even though the governor has endorsed another aspirant Pastor Umo Eno to succeed him.

The Senator described Emmanuel as a good man and should be pitied, rather than being vilified, because he was unfortunately being misled by some selfish persons.

He urged the people not to feel discouraged that the governor did not pick his preferred successor from Itu/Ibiono federal consituency, but to remain steadfast in faith as God would have the final say.

“Honestly speaking, I believe that governorship position of Akwa Ibom come 2023 is there for us to take. Akwa Ibom people stands for equity, justice and fairness. And Etinan, and Uyo federal constituencies have had their turns

” I can assure that God will give the next governor to Itu/Ibiono federal consituency. I believe that the same God that blesses the work of our hands will bless us this time around. All we need to do is to pray for the will of God to be done.

“My charge to all of you is that we shall remain steadfast and peaceful. We will not allow anybody to intimidate us. I want to assure everybody that power belongs to God. That same God will fight for us.” He said.

Receiving the governorship aspirant to his local government area, the pioneer National publicity Secretary of the PDP Senator Anietie Okon stressed the need for the people of Itu/ Ibiono federal consituency to be resolute in their quest to produce governor in 2023.

“It is your democratic right. There is no going back on this course, we are going to take it.” Okon implored them.
