A Senatorial aspirant in Akwa Ibom State, Clement Jimbo, has described as fraudulent, the politicians who are kicking against the proposed direct primaries in 2023.
He added that the law recently made by the National Assembly would unsettle those politicians who were enjoying the indirect process.
Jimbo stated this when he paid a courtesy visit on the village head and the people of Ntoedino ward 4 in Abama village, Obot Akara Local Government Area on Monday.
Jimbo, who said he would be aspiring for Akwa Ibom North West Senatorial District Seat at the National Assembly on the platform of APC, wondered why some politicians would kick against direct primaries which would enable all party members to make their choice on who to contest for a particular office.

He said, “The direct primaries is a welcome and miraculous development in the political space of Nigerian politics due to its numerous benefits to all party men and women.
“I strongly commend the National Assembly for this great feat despite the fact that some political elements are trying to block it from seeing the light of the day.
“It is my happiness that this process will give all party men and women a fair ground to elect anybody they want to contest for a particular office without being manipulated as it were in the case of indirect primaries.”
He expressed displeasure over the poor living condition of rural people in the area, especially bad road network and promised to alleviate the suffering of the rural people.
Jimbo assured the people of quality life style with good road network if elected into office by 2023 general elections.
Responding, the Village Head of Abama, Chief Idorenyin Udoma, commended the APC stalwart for finding time to visit and to witness the state of the people in the community.
Udoma urged the older politicians to have rethink by giving the younger ones the chance to also exhibit their God-given talent in the political office for the development of the nation.
