Gov. Udom Emmanuel
A Third Republic Senator, Etang Umoyo, who was touted to return to
the PDP, yesterday, failed to show up at the PDP Eket Senatorial
District rally for the endorsement of Gov. Udom Emmanuel for a second
term.
Daily Trust gathered that the development was a disappointment as
the senator was said to be absent at the event because he was
hospitalised on Sunday.
Sen. Umoyo, who represented Eket Senatorial District from 1992 to
1993, last Friday, was said to have held a “chaotic meeting” of some APC
members in Esit Eket, his local government area, to inform them of his
decamping.
The party members, it was learnt, challenged him at the meeting with angry speeches and placards.
