PDP stakeholders in Ibiono Ibom Local Government Area have dethroned Elder Ntienyong Inyangmme, a strong political ally of Senator Bassey Albert (OBA), as the Political Leader of the Local Government.

In a letter signed by 54 political stakeholders and addressed to the Governor and Acting State Chairman of PDP, the political bigwigs in the area said Inyangmme was only selected as political leader but yet to be ratified and formally installed.

The stakeholders stated that one of the reasons they have withdrawn their support for Inyangmme is his “ignoble role” in the 2020 Local Government Party primaries for the LG elections in the state. They stated that Inyangmme went against the established zoning arrangement in the area which favoured Ibiono Ibom Southern to produce the Council Chairman.
