November 16, (THEWILL) – The national coordinator, Maintain Peace Movement, (MPM), Barr. Emmanuel Enoidem, has stressed the fact that there will be no micro-zoning in the Akwa Ibom governorship seat come 2023.

According to him, the governorship position of the state has been zoned to Uyo Senatorial District and any individual who is constitutionally qualified is free to contest for the coveted office.

The MPM national coordinator and immediate past national legal adviser of the Peoples Democratic Party stated this during a press conference in Uyo on Monday.

Maintain Peace Movement (MPM), is believed to be a political group that will drive the completion and succession agenda of Governor Udom Emmanuel in 2023.

Enoidem said the MPM is an initiative birthed by progressive minded stakeholders who appreciate the achievements of Governor Emmanuel in the area of peace that has engendered all-round development as seen in the state.

“The overarching message which this Movement has taken to all the nooks and crannies of Akwa Ibom State, has been that Peace has been the firm foundation and the anchor which Governor Udom Emmanuel has built the strong pillars of development across all sectors of our state economy.

“On account of this, as people who have witnessed firsthand and cherished the benefits of peace, we lauded out to plant the seeds of peace across the the land.

“For instance, it is an incontrovertible truth that the 3 aircrafts that opened the door for the flagship Ibom Air project which has become a watershed in the Nigeria’s aviation sector could not have touched down the Victor Attah International Airport if irate and warring youths of the host communities had closed down the airport as a way of ventilating any grievance.

“We also acknowledge the fact that the numerous industries that have created a viable means of direct and indirect employment for several Akwa Ibom State indigenes would not have been sited anywhere in this state if the one who superintends over the affairs of this state did not send a clear message early enough that he is a man of peace.

“Today, with over 7 aircrafts in the fleet and counting, the very young but award-winning Ibom Air project has become the airline that defines the path for the nation’s aviation sector and has added a beauty to the magnificent brand name that Akwa Ibom State has become,” he said.

He added that, “As we march vigorously towards the actualization of the Ibom Deep Seaport, we shudder to think what will befall this project, which will stay as a golden goose for Akwa Ibom people, if we do not build on the present legacy of peace that we currently enjoy as a state.”
