Every single ethnicity has a unique face and personality. It is constantly changing, much like the modern nation itself.
However, politicians continue to do so in order to advance their own political agendas by dividing the state or country into various groups.
This is being done not out of any personal understanding but rather because of their shared ethnic background.
It occurs that major political parties are impacted in this way, just as we would typically feel bad if one of our family members or friends asked us to join their political cause.
Politics is a field where conflicts are certain to arise. At times, things can turn violent, with devastating effects on both sides.
Although not all politicians are dishonest, ethnic politics have played a significant role in some nations’ cultures for a very long time, particularly Nigeria and Akwa Ibom.
Ethnicity plays a significant role in political history in some parts of the world today because it makes the distinction between allies and enemies much hazier when both sides share a common identity. Even those who belong to the same ethnic group can disagree on political issues.
Politicians in a given community have always struggled with the question of who controls what.
How would your vote change if all candidates of the same ethnicity were running for office?.
The political sphere of the Akwa Ibom has recently seen a lot of ethnic discussion with claims that it is their time to be in the National Assembly or State Assembly, or the governor.
No one questions anyone’s ambition, but they should play by the rules nonetheless.

Regardless, I think a person should be assessed based on their actions while in office as opposed to their political views. One thing about the whole situation that shocks me is how irresponsible it is to ruin someone’s reputation for political reasons.
The destruction of someone’s reputation due to politics and beliefs is a sad thing. A critical examination of the Abak- 5 issue is necessary.
What has the person done for his immediate community and the state in general? Does it mean that everyone who wakes up must look for an exalted office?
Recent political polarization in our world has made it difficult for people to even communicate with one another without arguing. Regardless of your position on the issue, the only way to deal with it is by concentrating on the facts.
How many of Godswill Obot Akpabio do we have who can speak for us away from Akwa Ibom’s borders? The fact that the same people Godswill Akpabio fed are the ones insulting him today puzzles me the most. Anyway, the words in the Bible must be involved in this situation is why I am not surprised. The question is, is it not possible for us to conduct our business without jeopardizing one’s reputation?
If you are reading this, it means that someone’s online posting on a blog or discussion board offended me because I am from Akwa Ibom.
It can be frustrating and challenging to deal with something like this if you’ve never had it happen to you before. It is even worse when people go too far and attempt to undermine what they believe to be the other person’s position by making derogatory remarks about them or posting material that might be construed as libelous.
Every coin has two sides to it. Political activity undoubtedly falls under this category. I have seen how politics has ruined people’s reputations solely as a result of one-sided stories being circulated about them.
Is it fascinating to watch someone’s reputation crumble in front of everyone, especially if they are a powerful person who is extremely wealthy and/or influential?
An ex-governor like Senator Godswill Akpabio shouldn’t be called names, and I don’t believe he deserves it.
I am aware that most people do not respect God, which prevents them from respecting others.
You shouldn’t be destroying Godswill Akpabio’s name—the only fight you should be having is with your PVC.
Do not be deceived; Obong Akan Udofia and Senator Godswill Akpabio will win in the elections
