The first meeting was with the party structure at the Ibiono Ibom Town Hall, where he was well received, even as he advised the Chapter leaders to open their doors to receive other gubernatorial aspirants.

 

Senator Albert, who is the Senate Chairman on Petroleum Resources (Upstream) said he had an open mind towards all, including other aspirants in the race. He added that he had since forgiven anyone who wronged him in anyway.

He announced his continued love and respect for Gov Emmanuel, adding that he believed the governor loves him too but was just misled by some advisers.

 

OBA recalled that in 2015 when he was also a frontline runner for office of governor, he respected the party and justice principle when he was pleaded with to allow Eket Senatorial District to take its turn.
