Eket Senatorial District candidate of the Young Progressives Party (YPP), Mr Ephraim Inyageyen has said that the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) lost the moral right to talk about the zoning of political offices the moment it picked its presidential candidate from the North.

He said it would therefore be unfair for anyone to say he has broken the zoning formula for the contest of his senatorial ticket, assumed to have been zoned to Ikot Abasi federal constituency since there has never been a proper zoning arrangement in the area.

Inyangeyen made public his position in an interview with journalist in Uyo yesterday argued that people from areas not zoned would not have been contesting in the past.
In his words “When they do zoning, some people are excluded. In 1999, Udoma Udo Udoma contested against Joe Mark from Eket. Udo Udoma defeated Joe Mark. In 2003 when Udo Udoma came back, Mrs Ufot Ekaette, a lady from Eket married to an Onna man contested against him.
“The question to ask is; if Mma Ufot had defeated Udo Udoma at the primaries of the PDP, would they have taken it from her to give to Udo Udoma? The answer is no, So there was no zoning.JAMB Result
“When in 2007, Mma Ufot returned to contest, Mma Esuene contested, Nduese Essien contested, Nelson Effiong contested from Oron, Dr Emmanuel Ekuwem, the present SSG, contested, Esio Oqungudo contested. My question again is; if there was zoning, would anybody from Oron have contested? The answer again is no. So there was no zoning.
“What we had was a rotation. Whoever takes it, when you finish it will go to the next federal constituency district.”
