Senator Ita Enang gets 48 hours ultimatum to apologise to Eket Senatorial district

...Eyiboh to Enang: Eket is no conquered territory, neither are you a spokesman for the Senatorial District

The stage seems set for a stormy electoral battle as the All Progressive Congress Strategic Leaders' Forum and faithfuls in Akwa Ibom South(Eket) Senatorial District, have issued a 48 hours ultimatum to Senator Ita Enang to tender an apology to the people of Eket Senatorial district or face the consequences.

In a release signed by Hon Eseme Eyiboh, Convener, Akwa Ibom South(Eket)Senatorial District APC Strategic Leaders' Forum, the group berated the Senior Special Assistant to the President SSA over a comment allegedly attributed to him, alluding to a consensus arrangement that he said was already at "75%" concluded in the forthcoming APC Senatorial District electoral process.

"This assertion is not only profane and insensitive to the collective sensibility of the party faithfuls in the senatorial district, but a highlight of journeymen who have deployed anti democratic methods for self aggrandizement with our senatorial district as their potential conquered territory", Hon Eyiboh warned.

"The proponents of this crippling impunity and their ball boys are in for the game of self destruct as any attempt to foist any agenda in conflict with the wishes of our people shall be met with a determined resolve that would be swift and resolute as a counter measure", he said.

The Chairman of the Cross River Basin Development Authority, CRBDA, noted with dismay that some mindful leaders with democratic pedigree in the district recently reaffirmed their demonstrated commitment to the prescriptions of electoral democracy and shall resist with the collective resolve of their people, any effort or bare faced ostrich attempt to derobe the senatorial district  and its people their rich democratic reputation by the introduction of any act not in tandem with the democratic wishes of the people.

According to Eyiboh, "The people shall choose their representatives within acceptable parameters of international best practices and democratic culture. There will never be any resort to any form of external manipulations and introduction of any anti democratic subterfuge of any sort in the process of election of our party’s candidate for the Senatorial election in our Senatorial District".

Continuing he said, "To everyman must be the due of his/her vote. Senator Ita Enang did not and shall never speak for Eket Senatorial District, he has no such locus stadi and at the appropriate time, our people shall exercise their suffrage. Whoever our people consider ripe and right in this trying moment of our leadership deficit, shall be the outcome of the well intentioned prospectus of democracy".

The former spokesman of the House of Representatives said for even contemplating such a conspirational and undermining statement, Senator Ita Enang and his journey men must apologise to the senatorial district within 48 hours or face our strength in diversity to restitute our long held proud leadership heritage.
