“After I had won the nomination to be our flag bearer at next year’s gubernatorial elections, I made a solemn pledge to run an issue-based campaign that would be devoid of mudslinging, or the resort to vile and incendiary rhetoric , where people’s character and integrity would be mindlessly attacked. I pledged to run a campaign where propaganda and blackmail would have no space on our Victory Train”, he said.

On his part, Governor Udom Emmanuel who give the gubernatorial candidate a thumbs up for what he described as an excellent and realisable blueprint, pointed that 2023 elections are not about the candidates contesting, but about the destiny of Akwa Ibom State and Nigeria at large.

Debunking the news of his resignation as Chairman of PDP Presidential Campaign Council, Governor Emmanuel said that the task of rescuing Nigeria is mandatory on PDP and that he remains the chairman of the Campaign Council and committed to the party’s cause as a true faithful of PDP.

“It has always been PDP in Akwa Ibom since 1999 and it is going to be PDP again in 2023. PDP has produced quality leaders that have served Akwa Ibom well and meritoriously.”

“Today, as I present this flag as a symbol of victory, we have affirmed that Pastor Umo Eno will be the next governor of Akwa Ibom State.”

Others who spoke at the event further reiterated optimism on the victory for PDP at all levels, stating that PDP has always been the most preferred party in the state and that Nigerians are waiting for the party to lead the rescue mission at the centre.
