Senator Bassey Albert bought PDP senate forms like all other aspirants.
I ordinarily wouldn't have done this because to me it's meaningless but
when you are confronted on one propaganda by a thousand people
including the expected learned and the educated ones who have been
brainwashed.
Prior to 2015 general elections Senator Bassey Albert aspired for the governorship of the State but when it was obvious that the issue of zoning of the governorship position to Eket had come to stay, like every other dynamic politician he decided to give peace a chance by vying for the Senate seat which was quite competitive owing to the fact that the then serving Senator,Rt Hon Ita Enang was still in power and was also contesting for a second term in office.
He
Obong Bassey Albert popularly known as OBA pleaded with his teeming
supporters all over the State to see reasons with him to put the
interest of the State above his personal interest which some agreed and
some were angry being that he was the most popular aspirant for the seat
of the governor which there were strong indications that he would have
won the governorship seat,he rightly bought the PDP Senate forms for
Akwa Ibom North East senatorial district ,he duly filled the forms as
demanded by law and submitted them and was given provisional clearance
Certificate with serial No 0000074 and was cleared to contest the
senatorial primary election on 21st of November 2014 .
Our record shows that he purchased the PDP nomination forms on the 29th October 2014 with the sum of N4,500,000 million with the receipt No 61203.
The primary election finally took place at Uyo township stadium on the 7th of December 2014 with 375 delegates from the 9 Local government Areas which he won with 363 votes and Hon Usenobong Akpabio came second with 5 votes while Senator Ita Enang had 3 votes .
The primary election was conducted and completed peacefully and after that the results were announced there at the stadium before the press conference by the State Party Chairman Obong Paul Ekpo.
Before the 2015 general elections INEC published the names of successful candidates for the elections on National dailies and senator Bassey Albert's name was published alongside others . He later won the 2015 senatorial elections convincingly as was sworn in on the 9th of June 2015.
I know the senator will not like this post but I have to clear the air on this as part of my job as his media consultant.
