Usoro Akpanusoh Fumbles Again…On A Direct Collision Course With The Governor And The Leadership Of PDP At All Level

Taking cognizant of this perilous time, the PDP, Esit Eket Chapter, is shocked to see a Petition credited to Dr. Usoro Akpanusoh, against the peacefully concluded PDP Ward and Chapter Congresses and yet to be conducted State Congress.

Hon. Usoro Akpanusoh who is also a returning Member Representing Esit Eket And Ibeno State constituency, by this action, has exposed his political naivety for the whole world.

The party frowns at the MP postulation that “only one man” bought over the whole forms for the State. Such postulation is a direct collision course with the State Governor and the leadership of the PDP at the National level.

The party also frowns with Akpanuso’s poor analysis of the addendum to the Congress guidelines, which he hastily opined that our respected Statesman and Congress Secretary in Esit Eket, Chief (Bar) Bassey Dan Abia Jnr. contravened the guidelines by openly queued behind a supposed candidate.

The party wish to remind the House Member that the addendum to the guidelines had excluded and relieved the Congress Secretary of whatsoever responsibility, by appointing the congress Chairman as electoral Officer and a returning officer from the State as Chief collation officer. And these two, by the addendum, were only signatories to the Congress results.

This explains why the Secretary reverted to his constitutional status of a ‘statutory delegate ‘(not ad-hoc). And whatever additional status left was doused by Usoro and his thugs on that day.

The House Member was busy quoting sections of the Congress Guidelines, but didn’t see Article 15(ii) which stipulated thus:

“The petitions must be received by the Appeal Committee in writing within 24 (twenty four) hours”. Base on this, his petition is a stillborn, dead on arrival, incurably time-barred and legally flawed.

The party further urge the Governor not to watch as the sinking MP try to rubbish the party under his leadership. He should direct the Speaker of AKHA to suspend him from the house for 6 (six) months with immediate effect.

The party have it on good authority that Usoro is heavily backed/sponsored by the APC to fight the State. Information at our disposal have it that an official apartment of one “Unwana Foundation” (owned by APC leader) in Esit Eket has been handed over to him to be used as PDP parallel chapter office.

We can further say on good authority that Akpanusoh never wanted the Congress to be conducted because he knew he won’t have a chance. All he wanted was for the offices to be shared amongst the “big 4” as he puts it (Elder Ben, Badanz, Etebe and himself).

We have a recorded conversation of Usoro Akpanusoh on Sunday, 22/03/2020 preceding the rerun Congress of Monday, 23/03/2020 and will never hesitate to release it to the public when necessary.

Finally, it is amazing to think that a person representing a people could find time amidst the prevalence of Covid-19 to indulge in such negative enterprise of petition writing, rather than finding ways of ameliorating the hardship, hunger and trauma brought upon his constituents by the pandemic. The party is seriously considering recalling him…

Comrade Michael Alfred
