There is palpable tension in Akwa Ibom State over what would be the outcome of the March 18 governorship and State Houses of Assembly elections.
If the results of the presidential election in the state where PDP won in 22 out of 31 local government areas are something to go by, one could assume that PDP would also carry the day at the end of Saturday’s polls. Akwa Ibom is sitting on a tripod, that is Ikot Ekpene, Eket and Uyo Senatorial districts. It is assumed that APC has a stronghold in Ikot Ekpene district due to the influence of Senator Godswill Akpabio, PDP has a strong grip at Eket due to Gov Udom Emmanuel’s influence having come from the area, while Uyo Senatorial district is majorly for the YPP due to the influence of its gubernatorial candidate, Senator Bassey Albert.
