Attacking PDP over zoning show of ignorance – Gov Emmanuel’s aide tackles ex-CoS

By Adeleye Kunle

The Special Assistant to Governor Udom Emmanuel on Research and Documentation, Mr Essien Ndueso has tackled the former Chief of Staff to the governor and senatorial candidate for Eket Senatorial District under the Young Progressives Party, YPP, Chief Ephraim Inyangeyen over his comments on zoning arrangement of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

Inyangeyen, a member of PDP before cross-carpeting to YPP had said that PDP has no moral right to talk about zoning as it (PDP) failed to zone the presidential ticket to the South and that of gubernatorial in the state to Itu/Ibiono.

Inyangeyen a former PDP chieftain could not clinch the senatorial ticket of PDP because stakeholders in the district zoned the senatorial seat to Ikot Abasi Federal Constituency which led to the emergence of Ekong Sampson as the party’s flagbearer.

Irked by the development, Inyangeyen blasted the PDP over the zoning saying that PDP has shot itself in the foot since the governorship candidate of the party is from Etinan as against the Itu/Ibiono Federal Constituency that should produce the next governor.

However, Essien Ndueso who is also the Head, Media and Publicity, Ekong Sampson Campaign Organisation in a press statement obtained by our correspondent on Tuesday said Inyangeyen’s utterance was a mere ‘display of ignorance
