The people made their stand known yesterday, when candidate of the Young Progressives Party (YPP) for the senatorial district, Mr. Ephraim Akparawa Inyangeyen, led his Redemption campaign team for campaigns in Eket, Esit Eket, and Ibeno local government areas.Speaking on behalf of the people of wards 1 to 4 in Eket Central, Chapter Chairman of YPP Mr. Gospel Edogho; Federal Constituency candidate Joseph Mbong and State Constituency hopeful, Mr. Godfrey Moffat, said the people have resolved to make 2023 a turning point in the history of election in the senatorial district as they will ensure that whoever is seeking to represent them has what it takes to do so.Addressing party faithful, the senatorial candidate Mr. Ephraim Inyangeyen decried the backwardness of Eket Senatorial District in the record of representation and without any functional federal presence in spite of producing over 33 percent of the oil wealth of the country.In his remarks, Ibeno chapter chairman of YPP, Sunday Boniface assured Ephraim Inyangeyen of their support for the senatorial seat and Senator Bassey Albert as their incoming governor.
