Obong Attah Is A Father – MAMSA

Mass Mobilization for Senator Akpanudoedehe (MAMSA), has described Obong Victor Attah as “the father of modern Akwa Ibom State”. Speaking through its State Coordinator, Comrade Charles Nkan after the public endorsement of Senator Udoedehe's aspiration by Obong Attah, the group said that Obong Attah has taken a bold step in the right direction for the liberation of Akwa Ibom people.

Comrade Charles Nkan, a core supporter of Senator Udoedehe's aspiration and a youth mobilizer par excellence used the opportunity to warn those he described as bad bloods of Akwa Ibom State and political jobbers to desist from insulting and blackmailing Obong Attah to avoid unrest in the state, adding that he always weep anytime he heard Attah being insulted by people who lack the locus standi to make statement in the public; and called on the people of the State to accord due respect to the national icon.

His words: “I respect Obong Attah, and I would want every Akwa Ibom person to do that irrespective of status and rank. I always weep anytime Obong Attah is insulted by people who lack integrity and focus in the society. The only thing we should do is to respect and reverence Attah as a father, institution and regard him as model as the Yorubas would do to their icons and heroes”.

Concerning Senator Udoedehe's guber aspiration, the grassroots politicians said nothing can stop the Senator from becoming the governor of Akwa Ibom State from May 2011.

“I am calling on all those sitting on the fence to join the winning team. Like it or not, Senator Udoedehe is the governor of Akwa Ibom State from May 2011, PDP or no PDP.

Yes, the people of the State are ready for positive change and to enthrone Senator Udoedehe since he is the only one with the political will to free the State from kidnapping, hunger, unemployment and political killing. Do not be afraid of the power of incumbency because it was all in the pass, the people are now enlightened, and have resolved to change this government. You know, the voice of the people is the voice of God”, the MAMSA boss said.


Comrade Charles Nkan further stated that MAMSA is poised to sensitize the people for free and fair election to enthrone Senator Edehe as governor in 2011. According to him, an estimated 800,000 people across the State from the group are drumming support for the Senator adding that before the PDP nomination draw near, the targeted 2.5million man will be achieved.

To achieve the aim, the speaker called for Ward Coordinators not to loose sight of the vision, urging Akwa Ibomites to join the trend.
