| Gov. Udom Emmanuel So often the APC media have misrepresented the true perspective of former Senate Minority leader, Chief Godswill Akpabio CON, but if what we read from APC media outlets, that, he laments the marginalization of his District by Governor Udom Emmanuel’s administration , it therefore means that, the Ikot Ekpene Senator needs a little bit of information on the superior performance of Governor Udom Emmanuel in his senatorial District . |
The level of development you wrought in Essien Udim and Ikot Ekpene local Government was so fantastic, over 30 roads was constructed in Essien Udim and 22 Roads with street and traffic lighting in Ikot Ekpene Local Government. You built a magnificent relaxation center in Ikot Ekpene (Plaza) and Four Point by Sheraton which was one of your legacy projects. Other Local Government Areas in Ikot Ekpene Senatorial District were begging for attention, not a road project was constructed in eight years of your administration in those localities .
It will be reasonable to inform the former Governor of Akwa Ibom State that, Ikot Ekpene Senatorial District is not about Essien Udim and Ikot Ekpene local Government Areas. Sir, as a former leader of the State ,there are local Governments you did not wrought much developmental projects apart from inter-Ministerial and direct labour projects .
A Local Government like Ini, Ikono, Obot Akara , Oruk Anam , Ukanafun and even Abak did not benefit so much from your administration. Governor Udom Emmanuel being so prudent with the management of resources and his careful evaluation of development indices in your Senatorial District decided to embark on developing Local Government Areas that you were unable to impact on.
Ini Local Government Area for example was marginalized during your administration, it may not have been deliberate, but may be, due to unavailability of funds, you couldn’t do more.
When Governor Udom Emmanuel visited Ini Local Government Area during his campaign the major road leading to Arochukwu from obotme was cut into two , truly it was a death trap.
As soon as Governor Udom Emmanuel assumed office, he ordered for the construction 14.1km Odoro Ikpe –Ikpe Ikot Nkon –Obotme and Arochukwu road with 110 meters bridge and as at today, the project is about 80 percent completed.
Governor Udom Emmanuel has also completed the Rice Mill and planted over two thousand Hectares of rice farm and today Akwa Ibom State is going have its own brand of rice, called family rice and over five hundred indigenes of Ini are gainfully employed in the farm and mill .
Apart from the above mentioned development projects, over thirty inter-ministerial projects ,ranging from construction of brand new class Room blocks for schools ,portable water, Rural Electrification and construction of medical centers have been done by Governor Udom Emmanuel in Ini Local Government Areas .
Senator Godswill Akpabio please, may I inform you that Governor Udom Emmanuel has completed and commissioned the 4.6km Nung–Ukim Ikono Road with solar street lighting ,which is the access road of College of Art and science .
Still in Ikono, Governor Udom Emmanuel has remodeled the once forgotten Ikono General Hospital, with four brand new numbers of blocks and reconstruction existing structures. Governor Udom Emmanuel has also reequipped the hospital with modern computerized hospital equipment. Ikono General Hospital is only e-compliance secondary healthcare facility in Akwa Ibom State, with Trauma center, heart machine and dialysis center.
There are so many inter-ministerial projects spread across all the wards of Ikono Local Government, a once forgotten land now a proud community with qualitative healthcare facility.

Sir, you will recall that, the most popular General Hospital in the entire Abak 5 , was abandoned to the snakes ,monkeys and reptiles , The first visit of Governor Udom Emmanuel to the supposed secondary healthcare facility , I wept profusely as the entire hospital was covered by weeds , and it was a semi-forest .
We were told a story by one of the Staff Nurse of how a cobra had bitten a Patient to death while sleeping .Truly the place was inhabitable.
Right there, Governor Udom Emmanuel ordered for total rehabilitation and construction of new wards at Ikot Okoro General Hospital , today the health institution is ready for commissioning ,with new Maternity block, Dialysis center , Diagnostic center , two Children wards etc. .Sir, Governor Udom Emmanuel is performing superlatively in Ikot Ekpene Senatorial District don’t be deceived .

In my closing, I wish to inform our Senator of Ikot Ekpene Senatorial District, Chief Godswill Akpabio to always make appropriate finding before making speeches to his people . As speeches can incite tribal hatred among tribes in Akwa Ibom State .As a father no matter the political divide he now finds himself ,let his reasoning not be compared to a man who wish to instigate violence in the State but a leader who want to unite Akwa Ibom .
A careful reading of this article will make one to think, if in only three years, not minding the paucity of funds and recession Akpabio’s new political party has ruined Nigeria with, Governor Udom Emmanuel can perform to this extent in Ikot Ekpene Senatorial District,if he was receiving funds to the region of 40 to 45 billion as when Senator Godswill Akpabio CON was a Governor , Gov Udom would have done more .
Ete yak Emem Aba , WAR SAW ,SAW WAR THAT KILLED MILLIONS OF PEOPLE , WE WILL NOT SEE WAR IN AKWA IBOM STATE.
No one is greater than
