Senator Akpan, who called for a level playing field for all aspirants ahead of the primary elections of the Peoples Democratic Party in the State, charged the State Party Chairman, Rt. Hon Aniekan Akpan, to ensure that all aspirants are treated without any show of preference.

He made this known during a consultative visit at the party secretariat, Attan Offot Uyo, where he called on the party chairman and other executive members, as he assured them that he would have a landslide victory.

“I urge the party to remain neutral in coordinating the primaries. I want to assure you that I will win by landslide to the glory of God and the state PDP if the party is neutral.”

According to him, “A level-playing field involves a proper organisation of voting arrangements without interference, and only one person will eventually become the winner.”
