PST. UMO ENO AND HIS "PLENTY" SANS

Why the noise?

Pst. Umo Bassey Eno submitted his governorship nomination form with all the requirements including his WAEC.

Akan Okon said Umo Eno's WAEC is fake and took him to court.

Pst. Umo Eno first filed his WAEC certificate and the confirmation from Waec in court but on realising that the burden of prove will be shifted to him if he allows the Certificate to stay withdrew it and filed his testimonial thereby shifting the burden of proof to Akan Okon's team who brought this case in the first place.

Few jokers in Akwa Ibom are now questioning why Pst. Eno is using seven SANS instead of just bringing out his certificate even when the case is already in court.

1. He presented his WAEC certificate including the original while submitting his form and at the party screening exercise.

So, Let Akan Okon prove that it's fake.

2. Once you are in court, you use lawyers and not carpenters. So if he can afford fifty SANS, it's none of your business. Moreso, the case is political so lawyers can naturally join to show solidarity with the party.

3. Meanwhile WAEC has come out to say that Pst. Umo Eno wrote their exams and they issued him that certificate. They could be called upon to say the same in court.

4. Akan Okon's chances at this point is 0.0001%.

Akwa is PDP..

The defining moment is here once again as the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Akwa Ibom State will on Sunday, May 22, 2022, begin the political process of consolidating her stronghold on the political landscape, a tradition it has maintained since 1999 with the conduct of the House of Assembly and House of Representatives primaries.

In a release signed by the party's National Organizing Secretary, Hon. Umar M. Bature, the party directed that going by the letters and spirit of Section 84(8) of the Electoral Act, 2022, "delegates to vote at the Indirect Primaries and National Convention to elect candidates for elections shall be those democratically elected for that purpose only".

Based on the provisions, Hon Bature noted that those qualified and eligible to vote as delegates in the forthcoming PDP Primaries and National Convention are the three (3) Ad-Hoc delegates per ward, elected at the Ward Congresses and one (1) National Delegate per Local Government, elected at the Local Government Area Congresses.

In Akwa Ibom, only 1018 delegates comprising of the 987 Adhoc delegates elected during the April 30, 2022 Ad-Hoc delegates congress and the 31 National delegates elected during the Local Government Congresses will vote to elect the next PDP Governorship candidate on Wednesday, May 25, 2022.

The primary is expected to kick off on Sunday, May 22, 2022. While the House of Assembly primaries is scheduled to hold from 8:00am to 12 noon, the House of Representatives Primaries is billed to commence from 2:00 pm and the exercise which will hold simultaneously across the State and Federal Constituencies will witness the emergence of 26 House of Assembly and 10 House of Representatives candidates who will fly the party's flag in the 2023 general elections.

In Ikot Ekpene Senatorial District, the PDP House of Assembly primaries will take place in Abak, Etim Ekpo/Ika, Oruk Anam and Ukanafun, Essien Udim, Ikot Ekpene/Obot Akara, Ini, and Ikono State Constituencies.

Press Release

THAT VAIN ATTEMPT TO MALIGN PASTOR UMO ENO WITH A CONCOCTED AUDIO

There is a doctored audio making the rounds on the social media and internet, crediting some derogatory statements to our principal, Pastor Umo Eno, trying to allude that he said that councilors didn’t purchase nomination forms.

It is a hoax perpetrated by persons who feel threatened by Pastor Umo Eno’s goodwill and the support he’s enjoying from the generality of Akwa Ibom people. The said audio did not emanate from our Principal, Pastor Umo Eno. It is an coinage of comments and reactions made at different events and fora, and surreptitiously used in a vain attempt to impugn the reputation of Pastor Umo Eno, the leading gubernatorial aspirant in the state.

It must be noted that Pastor Eno has consulted widely across the entire state, where he made statements from different contexts and perspectives. Therefore, picking these to create a negative impression about Pastor Eno, is unacceptable, and smacks of mischief.

Our standpoint is predicated on the fact that Pastor Umo Eno’s character doesn’t depict the statements. He is a humble, amiable and convivial person, who doesn’t use demeaning words on people, let alone, the people he seeks to lead.

The public is therefore advised to discountenance the mendacious smear campaign, aimed at tarnishing the hard earned image and reputation of Pastor Umo Eno.
