Hon. Etienam whose campaign theme for the Senate is The REBIRTH 2015 stated that he would strive to ensure that issues related to the development of Eket Senatorial District as a core oil district would be addressed adequately for the improvement of lives.

Bassey Etienam inspired by his late father (NAMOBA), who lived for his community and for his people.

He said that he is taking up the challenge of sufficient commitment as his senatorial ambition would help restore the pride and hope that Eket Senatorial District can and will do better using his cognitive experience in public office and the parliament.

He further assured the people of Eket Senatorial District that he would be a servant-leader in a way that unites the state and country in confronting and surmounting the challenges of statehood and nationhood where everyone would have equal stake as emphasis would be placed on youth development, sustainable environment, quality health care, quality education, women empowerment, fight against marginalization as well as a coordinated information channel and politics of integrity and accountability.
