It was learnt that the Akpan is poised to contest for the governorship seat in line with the zoning arrangement in the state.
He called on the people to make good and proper use of the facility for their self development, saying, “I thanked God for today. it could have been a different story, we are proud of our brother Sen. Bassey Akpan for what God has used him to do.” The intrigue was further heightened as Albert had in 2015, stepped down for the governor to emerge the PDP candidate following the adoption of a zoning arrangement in the state. Albert was urged by party leaders to go to the Senate with an understanding that his zone will produce the next governor in 2023.

Usoro said further: “Senator Albert holds the governor in high esteem and would never disrespect him or encourage any insult to his person and office”.
Also a former national vice chairman, of PDP in the South South, Chief Edet Nkprubre, has called on the electorate not to misunderstand the preferred aspirant of the state Governor, Emmanuel Udom, as a consensus candidate of the party.
