Dr. Peter Daniels Debunks Political Posters in Akwa Ibom, Pleads People to Exercise Patience


The popular cliché of a Gold fish not having a hiding place, can be said to be personified in the context of political travails of Dr. Peter Daniels. There have been rumors flying around in the Akwa Ibom political space, that Peter Daniel has chosen a particular political party to make his gubernatorial intentions known. Peter Daniel has appreciated the confidence people have bequeathed on him and also believing his capacity to captain the state to the promise land. He also made it known that he hasn’t chose any particular political party.


Debunking the news that he has chosen a select party; this is coming when his posters are seen in the city and the nook and crannies of the state. The Man of God, Peter Daniel has come out to say that the people should disregard the poster and that he will make his intention(s) known in due cause. It is clear that the people of Akwa Ibom are rooting for a paradigm shift and it is also connected with the decision to pick the man of God may not be unconnected to his numerous philanthropic and religious activities in the state and FCT covering nakedness of several widows and less privileged ones in the society. Daniel reveals that he is yet to conclude any arrangements with any political party as of press time.


It was recall that Akwa Ibom state born Prophet Peter Daniels has become a voice of the people within the political landscape of Akwa Ibom state and he has been seen as the next governor considering his strides and the impacts that he has made in the states especially to the less privilege and the indigent in the state. The team of Pastor Daniel understand the pulse of people and encourage the good people of the state to give them time and have patience so that the amiable Daniel will make the desired widespread consultation with the critical stakeholders and then work in tandem with the political calendar stipulated by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and also follow the political processes stipulated by the constitution.


“I understand the yearning of the people and the need for them to make me run for the electoral post. I feel humbled by these gestures and I will make my political intention known in due time. As it stands for now, I am pleading with the good people of the state to disregard the posters and fliers in state until I am done with the widespread consultation”, Daniel concluded.

Roberta Edu, the visionary CEO of Moppets Baby Food and an outspoken advocate for gender equity, is no stranger to speaking her mind. In a recent candid statement, Edu delivered a stirring critique of patriarchal systems, zeroing in on a seldom-discussed reality: the role some women play in perpetuating the cycle of oppression.

As a self-confessed feminist and a leader in Nigeria’s business landscape, Edu is well-versed in navigating both corporate and societal challenges. However, her latest comments tackle an issue that resonates far beyond boardrooms.

“I can understand patriarchal men,” she began, her tone measured yet firm. “I understand why a man would want to cling to that system. For many men, especially those who feel they’ve failed in life, patriarchy becomes a refuge. It’s their last bastion of power, the one place where they’re told they have value, even if it’s only in subjugating their wives. That, to them,…
