‘Sufficient Is Sufficient’ – APC Stakeholders Reject Akwa Ibom Speaker’s Third-Time period Bid

The All Progressives Congress (APC) stakeholders in Abak Native Authorities Space have formally revolted towards the Speaker of the Akwa Ibom State Home of Meeting, Hon. Udeme Otong.

Throughout a heated press briefing held in Abak, the celebration leaders formally handed a vote of no confidence within the Speaker, citing a breach of belief and political misconduct.

This transfer stems from an alleged plan by Otong to hunt a 3rd time period in workplace, a transfer the stakeholders declare would immediately violate a long-standing zoning Contract designed to make sure political equity throughout the constituency.

The group, led by spokesperson Hon. Rock Dick, expressed deep frustration over what they described as a betrayal of a sacred pact.

Based on the stakeholders, the Speaker was a main signatory to a 2023 Contract brokered by former Deputy Governor Moses Ekpo.

That doc clearly outlined that the state meeting seat would rotate among the many clans to forestall one space from dominating the others.

Rock Dick reminded the general public that “Democracy thrives on the ideas of equity, fairness, justice, and respect for collective agreements freely entered into by stakeholders,” stressing that the Speaker was the very first particular person to profit from this association.

The prevailing rotation dictates that when the Abak Clan finishes its present tenure below Otong, the seat should shift to the Midim Clan for the 2027 elections.

The stakeholders identified that the Midim Clan has been sidelined since 1999, regardless of having two wards. They argued that it’s time to finish the lopsided illustration that has seen the Abak Clan maintain onto energy for over 16 years.

By pushing for one more time period, they declare Otong is disregarding the ethical and political contract that holds the completely different clans collectively in peace and unity.

Reiterating their stance, the stakeholders declared that ‘Sufficient Is Sufficient’ relating to the Speaker’s third-term aspirations. They vowed to guard the sanctity of the zoning formulation and rejected any try by people to distort the trail to fairness.

Furthermore, they maintained that the Contract stays sacrosanct and should be honored to make sure the even growth of the Abak state constituency.
