The Secretary to the Akwa Ibom State Government, Mr Udom Gabriel
Emmanuel, will resign his appointment, today.
Emmanuel, who has been under intense pressure from different quarters to
contest the 2015 governorship election, appeared to have heeded the pleas and
is set to declare his governorship ambition, on Tuesday.
The former Executive Director of Zenith Bank Pcs, who became Secretary
to the State Government (SSG), less than a year ago, was set to succeed
Governor Godswill Akpabio, whose second term expires in 2015.
With his resignation and declaration scheduled for Tuesday, in Uyo, the
Akwa Ibom State capital, he has put paid to those speculations, in a move that
will receive the commendations of indigenes and residents of the state.
He has the blessings and endorsement of the Chairman of the PDP
governors forum .
