Fresh facts? emerged over the weekend?indicating that the governor of Akwa Ibom State, Chief Godswill Akpabio is plotting to kill any moves that could make it possible for any candidate from Eket Senatorial District (ESD) otherwise known as Akwa Ibom South to clinch the top job in Akwa Ibom State.?

An impeccable source revealed that soon after the last Akwa Ibom South(Eket) Senatorial District meeting in held?Eket, Governor??Akpabio?s think-tank team met at the Centre for the Study of Akpabioism along??Airport Road, Uyo to scheme out and brainstorm on how to frustrate the Eket Senatorial District bid for the governorship position come 2015.

?The fact is there were??planning to destabilize any bond that exist?in the ESD that could form a formidable force?which would eventually?lead to the district to come out with an acceptable candidate who will take over from His Excellency, Governor Godswill Akpabio?? the source said?

?The source further revealed that the plan is to ensure that the existing Zoning regime of the office of Governor based on Senatorial District is abolished permanently. That a new “Di-tribal” geo-political divisions be established in the state. Under this proposal, there will be only two geopolitical groups/zones -(1) the Majority (Ibibio) Group??and (2) the minorities.?

?It is expected that the Annang will now emerge as leader in group 2 having regards to the huge empowerment that the Akpabio administration has bestowed on his tribes’ men. Consequently, the Annang Man will not have to wait for too long after Akpabio is gone before clinching the top job in the state. It is also reasoned that this arrangement will enable an Uyo senatorial didstrict person to mount the governorship seat in 2015 as of right. Above all the scheme will kill the Eket Senatorial District (ESD) ambition.?

?Eket senatorial district which has 12 Local Government Areas may not even be able to realize their dream of winning the Governorship election even after 2015 has come and gone.

?There is no doubt that the enemies of Eket Senatorial District are not sleeping. They will do anything to snatch the office from Eket Senatorial District in 2015. Some very powerful selfish persons who are in power in the State want to colonize Eket even with their resources.? The source explains.?

??However, what the people of ESD will do or ought to do now is not really anybody’s guess.
