Rt. Hon. (Barr) Ekong Sampson
Former two term Member of the Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly, Rt Hon. (Barr.) Ekong Sampson has emerged as one of the hot favorites to clinch party's ticket for the Eket Senate seat since declaring his intention to run earlier in the week.

Barring his mind on Ekong's chances and appeal, the Governor's Aide who has known Dr Sampson well over the years said he was the man with the right qualities to represent Eket Senatorial District.
'Ekong Sampson is imbued with the right legislative edge for the Senate job when you consider his legislative antecedents.
And what is this edge that Barr. Sampson possess? The Red Chamber is all about lawmaking and here is someone who not only has a Ph.D in Law, but a former two term Member of the Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly. With this background, there is nothing that will be discussed at the Red Chamber that he will not have a good knowledge of'.
'He will be able to draw up legislations and argue for or against laws that will have rich benefits for Eket Senatorial District.
Ekong Sampson has an enormous wealth of experience in legislative business and I support and stand with him wholeheartedly', the Governor's aide affirmed.
Hon. Joe Akpan was equally full of praises for Governor Udom Emmanuel for sustaining the peace and unity of Eket Senatorial District by giving credence to the time tested zoning arrangement. He also thanked Eket Senatorial District Leaders for their stance on Ikot Abasi Federal Constituency to produce the next senator for the district. With Ikot Abasi State Constituency having already produced Senator Udoma Udo Udoma, who served for eight years between 1999 - 2007, this time around favours Mkpat Enin in natural rotation and equity.
