SENATOR LADY EME EKAETTE IN A FIX

Reading the NEXT newspaper edition of Wednesday 6, January 2010 a story that
showcased a serving Senator, Mrs. Eme Ekaette, visiting Governor Akpabio for support
and endorsement in her bid for second term, I was in terms with the fact that she would not
represent Akwa Ibom South Senatorial (Eket) district in the 2011. Judging from her request
to, and reply from, Governor Akpabio, she should consider more efforts.

Senator Mrs. Eme Ekaette on the visit to the governor said “Your Excellency, as I have
stood by you, please also stand by me and when I stand by you, I beg you to also support
me.” The Senator who went to canvass the support of the governor in the forthcoming
primaries to the senate seat further said “I have, therefore, come to inform you of my
intention to go for a second term and to most respectfully ask for your fatherly support and
endorsement to enable me actualize the aspirations and yearnings of my constituents.”
Governor Akpabio’s response was simply “Whoever emerges as the senator for Akwa Ibom
South Senatorial district at the pools should carry everyone along.”

If the governor’s response is not instructive enough to the Senator, she should realize that
other persons have shown interest in the seat and they include Bishop Akpan of the
Brotherhood of the Cross and Star Church who is the undisputed deputy chairman of the
State PDP. Akpan is a strong supporter of Governor Akpabio. Moreover the way NEXT
newspaper put it “Mrs. Ekaette is better known nationally for her support for the
controversial ‘indecent dressing bill’ which seeks to prohibit ‘indecent’ dressing in public
places”.

I believe both Senator Ekaette and Governor Akpabio are deceiving one another. Take for
instance out of desperation there was a paid advertisement as a communiqué in The
Punch of 07/10/09 wherein it was stated of “an enlarged caucus meeting of the PDP in
Akwa Ibom State” held on Sunday 27/9/09 to endorse Akpabio remaining in office till 2015;
Mrs. Ekaette’s signature as well as that of Senator Udo Udoma who was out of the country
then, were among those allegedly forged as attendees. This forgery is still fresh in the
mind of the public.
