SUPREME COURT TO DECIIDE ON AKWA IBOM GOVERNORSHIP ELECTION TODAY!

It has been an interesting run off right from 11th April 2015 till date! Akwa Ibom state has been divided into sides- for, against and not-for-or-against. All sorts of mischief and politicking have taken place. We have heard all kinds of news, allegations, counter allegations, controversies, propaganda et al. It has been a marathon fusillade between those who want udom to be gov and those who do not want him to be Governor in Akwa Ibom state. Unfortunately, those who do not want him have their own very many reasons. In fact, their reasons are so divergent that they fail to speak in one big voice but in few disparate decibels.
Incidentally, those who want Mr. Udom Emmanuel and PDP to maintain their residency at the Hill Top Mansion do have their own different reasons ranging from zoning to equity to fairness to consolidation to continuity and to mention a few.
Interestingly, those on the other side also share the same lists of reasons with different perspectives and interpretations.
Now, though, the supreme court judgment in Dakuku v Wike has really helped to douse the tension in the state and beyond, the entire people of Akwa Ibom state both within and in diaspora seat on the edge of their chairs in anticipation of what the supreme court has to say about the April poll. would it declare is another "April fool" or confirm is a worthy "April poll" ? The answer will not tarry beyond today.
People have called God into this matter. Both the APC and PDP blocs claim to be on the side of God of Justice. Perhaps, it is now God's turn to actually confirm whose side is His. But whatever may be the case, I'm confident Akwa Ibom people will be the winner! God will prove today that He is of Akwa Ibom state.
I only pray that we all accept the judgment of the court peacefully regardless of its consequences on our positions. If it's for Udom Emmanuel/ PDP let Obong Umana Okon Umana/APC not just sheath their swords but turn them into plow and join in the building of our collectively destined greatness. If the Court grants UOU/APC their desire then let us all go back to the field for another novelty match- without drawing blood.
Let us all laugh last in the end of today.
