Since the nation returned to democracy in 1999, Akwa Ibom State has always kept allegiance with the People’s Democratic Party, with the party

According to them, even though the government respected the zoning arrangement and has the right to choose who succeeds him, the party and its stakeholders, they argued, should have looked inward to ensure that all the federal constituencies with the nine local councils making up Uyo senatorial districts were fairly treated.

Udoedehe is said to have left APC for NNPP to actualise his political ambition of ruling Akwa Ibom State as a governor, among other reasons. In the APC, the situation is worse as the last release from the national headquarters of the Independent National Electoral Commission of the names of candidates from the political parties shows. APC has no governorship and other candidates because of what political commentators in the state and some party members are referred to as factions within the party.

“Though Mr Akan Udofia from the Akpabio camp was alleged to have emerged as the factional Governorship candidate of the party, INEC insisted the midnight primary which purportedly produced him was not monitored by the Commission as required by law, a flaw that invalidates his candidacy. The protracted crisis led to Senator Udoedehe, who was one of the party’s leading governorship candidates, defecting to the NNPP where he emerged as the party’s flagbearer.

National Cake: Sharers Sharing Formula And The Rest Of Us, By Bolaji O. Akinyemi | Sahara Reporters1999 was the year hope, like a collosus, bestrode our political landscape. The people were resilient in their push to oust the military until they were forcefully pushed out of power and democracy was enthroned! Nothing other than corruption had defined our nation since the military incursions of 1966. They taught Nigerians how to steal and cheat. They left for the barracks (or did they) but left with us, the hydra headed monster of corruption! Typical Nigerian always wanting to chop cake not how to build and grow the nation!!
