PDP youths from Akpabuyo, Bakassi and Calabar South LGAs had last week protested Emana’s choice, saying she was unmarketable and unknown in the state.

But Ikem said settling for Emana amid the galaxy of well qualified men was a difficult task, adding that they consulted widely, noting that her choice was divine.
