The State Deputy Chairman Lawrence Udosen in his own words said, "we are sure that while the late Udo Ekpenyong was alive, the deceased wife of the former State Chairman was a pillar to him and the family and contributed to the successes the late Udo Ekpenyong had in public and political service. To her children, she was still providing the motherly coverage till her very unfortunate demise. The PDP family in Akwa Ibom State fervently prays that God Almighty should comfort this family in these moments of successive grief."

He said, "for us as a family, even though this tragic occurrence has hit us in a hard way, we are comforted in the knowledge that God is still God and we cannot question his ways. Our mother who was the other leg of the pillar in our family has gone to be with the Creator and we can only trust God to comfort us in his own way. We appreciate this show of love by the Party and it will remain indelible in our hearts."

The remains of the Late Deaconess Elizabeth Ekpenyong shall be committed to earth after the funeral service this Friday, March 8, at Ikot Oku Usung, Ukanafun Local Government Area.

The Ididep Unity Football Competition, Recommendation of our Sons and daughters for jobs and political appointments, purchase of digital public address system amongst others were indelible positives our administration recorded during the first term. I can assure you that we will build on it and do even better. We were duly elected and sworn-in to protect, preserve, and defend the Association's constitution; thus, we are fully committed to carry out that mandate which was freely given to us by all of you.
Let me use this opportunity to admonished IYODA members to always consult the constitution before doing anything, to avoid taking laws into their hands." he advised.
