That was why we called him The Compendium. We are blessed to have Ekong Sampson as our Senatorial candidate at this time”. -Rt Hon.(Princess) Felicia Bassey
Deputy Speaker, Akwa Ibom House of Assembly. ”There is no need to pretend. You are our candidate.

”Oro stands solidly behind zoning of the senate seat in Eket Senatorial District and this is beyond party lines. The 2023 senate seat goes to Ikot Abasi Federal Constituency and Mkpat Enin in particular and Oro nation fully backs that. Anybody that is coming out to contest the senate seat in Eket Senatorial District against our age-long rotational arrangement upheld in the region will lose heavily and even lose his deposit.

I am very proud to associate with Dr. Ekong Sampson. He has deep understanding of Oro problems and is sincere and committed in fighting for justice for Oro. Ekong Sampson is Ndeghe Nssang Oro – a good friend of Oro. He is also Uforo Ebughu. Oro are honouring him because he has a good heart for our people and for others. He has given a lot of people jobs including Oro sons and daughters. He doesn’t discriminate where you come from unlike some. Ekong Sampson is a fantastic brigde builder and will make a great Senator”.

Ekong Sampson, who was then in the Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly initiated the idea for the construction of the PDP secretariat in Mkpat Enin. We asked him for rent for the party office, but he insisted that we must own our PDP Secretariat.
He gave us money with which we bought the land for the PDP Secretariat. He also gave us funds to kick start the project. Today, Mkpat Enin is one of the few Local Government Areas in Nigeria that owns a full PDP Secretariat. We are grateful to Barr. Ekong Sampson for this and his many other interventions for the PDP in Mkpat Enin.
Barr. Ekong Sampson has bought vehicles, motorcycles and even land for PDP officials in Mkpat Enin. You can see his projects everywhere in Mkpat Enin. We love him for his empowerment programmes, his simplicity and accessibility.
Onomkpoinam Mkpat Enin as we call him has provided jobs for many people. One good thing about him is that he does not discriminate where you come from. He lives for everybody. He is a man of great ideas. Ekong Sampson is an asset to the PDP. He has helped party members a lot”.

Stand firm, fear not because you are already there. Go and become Senator. I give you my blessing as the father of Okobo Local Government Area”.
- HRM Ovong Ita Edet Okokon,
Paramount of Okobo.
“The fact that Ekong Sampson had served as Honourable Commissioner for Environment and Petroleum Resources gives him the mileage in understanding the dynamics of environment and oil politics. These are critical issues that affect Eket Senatorial District.
Ekong Sampson is a household name in Ikot Abasi Local Government Area where he grew up. Indeed, we in Ikot Abasi see him as one of our own. He relates very well with the youths and with everybody.
Onomkpoinam Mkpat Enin, Ekong Sampson has experience, capacity and character for the Senate job. Zoning also favours him from Mkpat Enin. Remember that in Ikot Abasi Federal Constituency, we have a balanced and an unshakable zoning and power sharing arrangement in which the State Assembly seat moves from Ikot Abasi to Eastern Obolo; House of Reps moves from Eastern Obolo to Ikot Abasi and the Senate seat rotates from Ikot Abasi which had occupied the position for eight years earlier, and moves to Mkpat Enin.
Ikot Abasi will vote overwhelmingly for Ekong Sampson. He is our man”.
- Comrade Etop Enang,
Former Akwa Ibom State Youth Council Chairman/Vice Chairman of Ikot Abasi LGA. “Dr. Ekong Sampson is a promoter of Education. He established one of the best community secondary schools in the state and made it tuition free, as a mark of his philanthropy and love for education. He is accessible and loves Oro. Oro youths and students will vote for Ekong Sampson massively. - Comrade Etim Etim,
President General, Oro Union, Students Wing. ”The women of Eket Senatorial District have declared their commitment to associate with the political aspiration of Dr. Ekong Sampson. Barr. Sampson is a worthy son of Eket Senatorial District who is favoured by zoning, competence and character for the Eket Senate job.
Ekong Sampson is a bridge builder. He does not discriminate. He flows well with everybody. He is simple, accessible and a champion of women empowerment. We will mobilize the women to queue behind Barr. Ekong Sampson and all other PDP candidates”. - Obonganwan Mary Umanaette,
President, Esop Mbong Iban Eket Senatorial District.
