Irked by the recent worrisome trend of discourse towards who succeeds Mr. Udom Emmanuel on his exit of the Hilltop Mansion in 2023, the State Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Mr. Paul Ekpo has described such discourse as embarrassing and premature.
In a recent Press Release signed by him, the PDP Chairman while noting that the trend was worrisome as the governor though had won his second term election was yet to complete his first term in office.
"We therefore appeal to the general public and the prospective aspirants to please allow the state to run smoothly without any distraction. While it is very permissible to have aspirations of any magnitude, time is a key determinant of the appropriateness or otherwise of such ambition. We also appeal to online influencers and bloggers to desist forthwith from instigating or participating in the promotion and projection of persons for 2023. Additionally, as the first term of this administration comes to a successful end, we are aware that the battle for appointment will reach fever pitch. We admonish the intended beneficiaries to recognize the fact that the authority to appoint is legally resident in the appointor(in this case the Governor) and exercised at his discretion, without any pressures whatsoever. Therefore mobilizing online or social media support will have absolutely no effect on the process" he stated.
