It is no longer debatable that the zoning and rotation of our great party, PDP,
shall be observed and
The question and focus now is;
- Who in Eket Senatorial District shall be nominated and elected as governor of the state in 2015? What is vision for the state?
- What are his strategic plans to take the state to the next level?
- How does he intend to consolidate or improve upon the achievements of the present administration?
- How popular is he with the grassroots?
- How has he been contributing to the growth and progress of the party?
- How has he been impacting on the lives of the people of the state?
These should form the template for the debate.
Whoever shall be nominated as the flag-bearer of the party for the 2015 governorship race must have records in the party. We must avoid, resist and reject a situation where someone is just packaged and brought from nowhere and foisted on the party as its candidate and of course such arrangement cannot fly. Whoever shall be given the party ticket must not be a stranger to the membership and leadership of the party. He must have been in the party, cultivate, oiled and sustained relationship, friendship, alliances and affiliations with the leaders and members of the party across the state. He must be someone who has known, at least, all the state officers, chapter chairmen and other chieftains of the party across the state. It is only such a person that will know how to service the party structures.
We must be wary of someone who never had any reason to belong to the party or any other party for that matter but may just be packaged and brought into the party and it is not necessary to say here that he will only know those who packaged and brought him into the system and maybe those they want him to know and will not know those they don't want him to know and that will be too bad for members of the political class, youth, women, traditional and even clerics in the state.
We must look for and insist on someone who has known, related and affiliated with members of the political class, youth, women leaders, monarchs and clerics across the state over the years and not a person who never knew nor related with anybody in the state, except one or two person he has been having secret deals with and the people of the state allow him to be foisted on them, then we can be certain that he will be a stooge to the person who packaged and brought him to the state under whatever guise.
We can't afford to be fooled or taken on a journey of deceit and we must shine our eyes.
We need a governor who has known party leaders and chieftains, youth and women leaders, monarchs and clerics across the state by names and faces and has been relating with them well. That is a kind of person that will know their challenges and how to service, develop or empower them.
We must be mindful of the fact that Governor Godswill Akpabio is able to create records in generosity, development and empowerment of party leaders and chieftains, youth and women leaders, monarchs and clerics across the state because prior to his election as governor, he had created, oiled and sustained relationship with almost all the youth and women leaders in the state. In other words, he had friends across the state. He also knew all the monarchs in the state and related with them very well. He knew the party leaders and chieftains and related with them very well. He knows all these people by their names and faces because he was not just packaged and brought into the state few months into the election. He was loved and popular with the people. That was why he emerged despite the stiff resistance of his predecessor who preferred his son-in-law as his successor.
