Akwa Ibom - Etok's Recall Process Begins

Stakeholders from Ikot-Ekpene senatorial district have resolved to begin the process of recalling Senator Alloysius Etok from the National Assembly. At the stakeholders' meeting which held at Ikot-Ekpene, headquarters of the zone, those in attendance including traditional rulers, politicians and government functionaries, expressed disappointment with the senator over his row with Governor Godswill Akpabio

The motion to recall the senator was moved by Engr. Iboro Ekamen, of Ekpom ward 5 in Ikono local government area of the state who advised Governor Akpabio to stop looking for chairmen for his senatorial campaign as he said the governor will get overwhelming support.

The convener of the meeting and traditional ruler of Annang ethnic group, Okuku Pius Eside, while explaining the rationale behind the meeting said they had written to the senator on the 20th of April to appear before them for reconciliation between him and the Governor but the senator refused to attend.

He said the stakeholders considered the senator's refusal to attend as an insult and therefore had no option than to begin the recall process to serve as a deterrent to others.

Chairman of the Essien Udim, Mr. Nse Ntuen, who spoke on behalf of the ten local government chairmen from the zone, said the district will go ahead with the resolve to recall the senator, stressing that the senator has added a new dimension to the case by accusing the Governor of complicity in the kidnap of his mother last year.
