Jonah expressed optimism in the capacity of Obong Ekere to deliver to the students and Akwa Ibom people if elected Governor come March, 2nd 2019, noting that his track records as NDDC boss in the last two years speak volume of his leadership charisma and credibility.

He also emphasised on zoning in Uyo senatorial district for fairness, equity and peace in the zone and for the overall interest of all, canvassing support for the APC Senate candidate,  Rt. Hon. Bassey Etim, because of zoning.
