”Your Excellency, twice this year, Akwa Ibom people in an uncommon resolve, unanimously passed a vote of confidence on you and your administration. In furtherance to their conviction, they urged you to step forward and contest for the office of the President of the Federal Republic in 2015. That yearning is still aflame and they have kindly besought you for an answer, but know Your Excellency that Akwa Ibom people are steadfast and will go with you all the way.”
