A prominent group in Akwa Ibom State, Media Professionals for Good Governance (MPGG) has thrown its’ weight behind the Rt.Hon. (Obongemem) Ekperikpe Ekpo’s ambition to represent the Akwa Ibom North-West Senatorial District at the National Assembly in 2023.
The national coordinator of the group, Comrade Franklin Okon in a chat with journalists in Uyo on Sunday, April 24, 2022 described the aspirant as the best man for the job
He added that a careful look at Ekpo’s antecedents would reveal that he has been well and properly equipped for a higher legislative responsibility stressing that his years in the National Assembly between 2007 and 2011 brought a new lease of life for the people of Abak federal Constituency, as evidently reflected in various life-touching programmes and projects which he initiated across the constituency.
He said the group is supporting Ekpo because he had a lot to offer having done well as both the Executive Chairman of IKA council area and as a legislator in the House of Representatives.
“His Legislative performance is second to none and he is a round peg in a round hole. We are supporting him to go higher for what he did in the House of Representatives, people like him should be encouraged to go higher and higher”.He said.
The MPGG Coordinator therefore appealed to stakeholders as well as the people of Ikot ekpene Senatorial District to shun sentiments and give Ekperikpe Ekpo the needed support that will see him through the party primaries and the general elections to enable him achieve set goals.
