EKET – A Prominent Senatorial hopeful in Eket Senatorial district, Bishop Samuel Akpan, has said that Contrary to rumors of his withdrawal from his race, his aspiration and people’s mandate remain intact and
on a steady course. He reaffirmed this fact while speaking at the funeral service of his Mother-In-Law, Late Madam Cecilia Sunday Oduok, at St. Gregory’s Primary school, Ikot Ebok, Eket
recently.

Bishop Akpan described as false the insinuations that he has been persuaded by Governor Godswill Akpabio to abandon his ambition, adding that the Governor has never interfered in the 2011 electoral process.
“God and every other person, including my late mother-in-law, support my senatorial bid and I cannot but proceed”, he told his numerous supporters. Bishop Akpan said that there was need for a change so that the
area could also derive some benefits from Nigeria’s Democratic rule, adding that poor representation negates development.

He extolled the virtue of his departed mother-in-law whom he described as kindhearted, courageous and hardworking while alive. Bishop Akpan thanked the State Governor, Chief Godswill Akpabio, for honoring the
bereaved family by attending the burial. The First daughter of the deceased, Mrs. Vivian Akpan had, in a biography praised her late mother’s principles which she noted, centered on justice, charity, truth and
community service. Condolence messages were received from numerous religions and political bodies including AKPF and Bishop Samuel Akpan’s Vanguard.
