UKANAFUN MP, SA HUMANITARIAN SERVICES FIGHT DIRTY OVER SUPERVISORSHIP NOMINEE

A cold War has erupted between the Member representing Ukanafun in the State Assembly, Elder Emem Udom and the SA Humanitarian Services, Elder Nsikanabasi Umoekpo, over supervisorship nominee for Southern Afaha, Ward 10 in Ukanafun Local Government Area.

MP Emem and Umoekpo are kinsmen from the same political Ward in Ukanafun.

This reporter learned from multiple sources, that the SA Humanitarian Services, leveraging from his closeness to the Governor and SSG's office, has surreptitiously replaced the Nominee of the House Member, Mr. Enobong Oliver, with his Aide, Mr. Unen Abraham.

The slot for the Supervisorship Nominee, this reporter further learned, was allotted by the party's leadership for the House Member, as applicable in other State Constituencies, but usurped by the SA Humanitarian Services, in a show of power.

Umoekpo's Nominee, Unen, the Guide Newspaper learnt, is an APC returnee who could not win his Ward for the PDP during the last gubernatorial election.

The unfortunate situation, according to sources, has stirred up a political face-off and cold War between the two political titans and their followers in Ukanafun.

Meanwhile, the leadership of Ward 10 in Ukanafun has sued for calm from all parties involved, calling on the Governor and PDP Leadership to intervene in the unfortunate imbroglio. They have also appealed that His Excellency call his SA on Humanitarian Services to order, following his recent “unpatriotic” actions in the Ward.
