Onofiok Luke Responds to Governor Udom’s Choice of Successor

Member representing Etinan Federal Constituency at the House Of Representatives; Barrister Onofiok Luke took to his verified facebook page to react to Governor Udom Emmanuel’s choice of successor ahead of the 2023 general elections. His Post read thus;

 

We Are Still On Course
1. Out of respect and as a loyal party man, I honored an innocent invitation from the Governor for a meeting this evening at the lodge;

2. At the meeting my brother from my local government and Federal Constituency, Pst Umo Eno was presented as the choice of the Governor for succession;

3. It was at the said meeting that I heard of the agenda and choice for the first time and no one held any discussion with me prior to the meeting;

4. I am not against the choice of the Governor coming from my local government, Federal Constituency nor the aspiration of my brother;
5.However, as a fellow aspirant from the same local government at the same advantage when successful, my aspiration to serve the state in the capacity of the Governor remains on course;

6. This statement would not have been necessary but not for the misrepresentation in media which may create a negative impression about my person and the reputation God has helped me to build these number of years in public service;

7. My supporters and those sympathetic to my cause should please note that we are as resolute as ever in our desire to give our people purposeful leadership in the office of the Governor come 2023.
God’s Amazing Grace has always seen us through and will always see us through.
