APC MULLS CONSENSUS OPTION FOR A'IBOM GUBER

By Ubon Nkaiso

Stakeholders of the All Progressive Congress in Akwa Ibom state have begun to mount pressure on the party's national leadership to adopt the consensus option in choosing the governorship candidate of the party.

This development,our reporter learnt is to diffuse the tension generated by the skewed primary election that produced Obong Akanimo Udofia,last week.

The election which has been roundly condemned on all sides has become a burden to the party in the state.

Following this,a group of party elders have begun conciliatory moves to bring party faithful and leaders under one roof.

"We must close ranks, come to together and speak in one voice to capture power in this state. You know that Obong Akanimo Udofia was not properly elected by party delegates. It was a kangaroo arrangement which has no place in this day and age.This is why we are talking to the leadership at the national to consider a candidate from known aspirants",a top ranking APC faithful disclosed.

Corroborating this position, a former Assemblyman in the state legislature, Engineer Ime Mbom said the consensus option remains the best for the APC in the state.

He said"Yes,Iam part of the talks to bring all leaders together. We are pushing for the consensus option to bring peace to the party. When you have a flawed election and widespread protests such as we have had, you have to bring in the contenders and choose".

Checks from Abuja reveal that three aspirants namely Engr. Larry Esin, Senator Ita Enang and Austin Utuk are being considered for the APC top job.
