Chief Don Etiebet, a member of the Board of Trustees (BOT) of the PDP, has commended President Goodluck Jonathan for his non-interference in the conduct of the ongoing general elections.
He made the commendation on Monday in Uyo while adressing newsmen.
Etiebet said: “I have never seen a leader like Jonathan. He appointed an INEC Chairman he has never met. He is not afraid of losing the election even as a sitting president.
“It is a new development in the affairs of Nigeria. Jonathan is leading the country in a new direction.”
Etiebet, a former Petroleum Minister, also commended the people of the state for the peaceful conduct of the National Assembly election, and thanked God that the election was held without violence.
“Akwa Ibom is a PDP State; no amount of intimidation can change that. We want development and the PDP government has brought development to the state,†he added.
He urged the people to turn out en masse and vote for PDP in the presidential, governorship and state House of Assembly elections.
