Judith Etuk-Ogbara Consults EPU, Pledges Peace, Loyalty and Service to Eket Federal Constituency.
Dr. Judith Mayen Etuk-Ogbara, a leading contender for the House of Representatives election in Eket Federal Constituency on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has pledged to promote peace, loyalty and community-focused representation if elected in 2027.
Etuk-Ogbara made the pledge during a consultation visit to the executive members of the Ekid Peopleโs Union, EPU, at the residence of the President-General of the union, Dr. Samuel Udonsak, on Afaha Eket Road, Eket.
She commended Udonsak for what she described as his integrity-driven leadership and said her aspiration was anchored on service, unity and the collective interest of Eket Federal Constituency.
According to her, the peace efforts of Gov. Umo Eno remain worthy of emulation, adding that she would continue to advocate peaceful coexistence among communities.
โI will continue to sue for peace because that is what I have come to know Akwa Ibom for. That is what our governor preaches, and I will preach peace as well.
โWe must find a way to exist without robbing one another of what is rightfully ours,โ she said.
Etuk-Ogbara said her experience in the Liquefied Natural Gas sector, as well as her training as a public relations expert, had equipped her with the capacity to mediate conflicts and bring people together.
โI know that communities will always have conflicts, but the ability to get people to sit down and address issues is a gift. I believe I have that gift.
โThe task ahead is huge, and I need each and every one of you,โ she said.
The aspirant reaffirmed her commitment to the race, saying she remained undeterred by opposition and other challenges
โIt is God who gives power to whom He chooses. I can see the hand of God, and I will not back down.
โI want you to send me. My loyalty will be to the community and to Eket Federal Constituency. I am presenting myself for service, and I will not let you down,โ she said.
Responding, Udonsak commended Etuk-Ogbaraโs aspiration, saying it aligned with what he called the โDoctrine of Necessity.โ
He said the political dynamics had created a favourable atmosphere for her ambition, expressing optimism that she would succeed.
โThe God who sees your heart will see you through. I look forward to seeing you with the party ticket,โ Udonsak said.
Earlier, members of her campaign team, Barr. Ephraim Enembong and Mr. Edoho Mark, described Etuk-Ogbaraโs aspiration as a mission to restore the pride of Ekid and strengthen representation for the constituency.
Also speaking, the President-General of Esop Mbong Mbaba, Obonganwan Jane Akpan, described Etuk-Ogbara as courageous, experienced, self-reliant and well-informed.
โShe has what it takes to do the job and represent Eket Federal Constituency,โ Akpan said.
Etuk-Ogbara was formally inducted into the union by Mrs. Grace Ediyang.
