Speaking for the group, Mr. Abraham Joshua Udoekong, said they had seen in Luke, the capacity, character, love for the people, ideas and passion to drive economic and social development of the state and decided to endorse him for the general good of Akwa Ibom people.

Udoekong said: “We are taking this bold step for the general good of our state. We started mobilising ourselves for Luke’s governorship project in 2020; today we have mobilised delegates to come here and endorse him. We believe in him, we will vote for him.”

He said they were not perturbed by recent political happenings in the state, insisting that their resolution to support Luke at the party primary was absolute.
