“we the non-indigenes group in the area have decided to mobilise massively for Dr Martyns Udo-Inyang and other candidates of the party”
Non-indigenes residing in Akwa Ibom South (Eket) Senatorial District have thrown their weight behind the All Progressives Party (APC) senatorial candidate, Dr Martyns Udo-Inyang and all other candidates of the party in next month’s national assembly election.
Rising from a meeting with the candidate who consulted the group at the party’s Secretariat in Eket yesterday, the leader of the group, Alhaji Kashim Sulieman pledged their unalloyed support for Dr Udo-Inyang’s aspirations and all the candidates of the APC at all levels.
Kashim said, after their careful observations and analyses of all the contenders for the senate seat in the senatorial district, they have found out that, Dr. Martyns stands tall as capable, knowledgeable and eligibly fit to be elected to represent the people at the red chamber of the National Assembly.
According to Suleiman, though others who had been in the corridors of power for more than twenty years failed to bring tangible development and provision of social amenities to the area, the non indigenes are comfortable with the candidate thereby mobilizing support for him and other candidates in APC.
