The wife of the governor made the call at the Thanksgiving Service and endorsement of Pastor Umo Eno/Akon Eyakenyi gubernatorial ticket, as well as other candidates of the PDP, organised by the Uyo Senatorial District Women Forum (USDWF) at Ibom Hall Ground on Tuesday.

Martha Emmanuel, who was the special guest of honour at the event, assured that only Eno and his running mate, Senator Akon Eyakenyi’s ticket remains the sure banker to sustain the legacies of development of the outgoing administration in the State.

She however commended the women for trooping out to endorse the PDP ticket, maintaining that it is only the party’s ticket that would guarantee good governance in the State.
