“Shockingly, the direction to which outcome of our opinion poll pointed was to a man whom has neither signifies interest nor in any way declared intention as others already doing or by any practical terms pick presidential nomination form.
“This is despite enormous prove of achievements as a governor moving a backward state like Akwa Ibom from a mere level of a blue print at the time he took over as a governor to a world class master piece driven by a process known by all as an uncommon transformation,” Lawal said.
He said that they were convinced that Senator Akpabio stands out with proven records of achievement and still in the right frame of mind to replicate similar feat across length and breathe of Nigeria.
“We therefore urge the Minister to declare his presidential intention and obtain the nomination forms as we are fully prepared as a group to adopt his aspiration as our project come 2023.
