as a mistake that must be rejected in 2019, the governor of Akwa Ibom
state, Udom Emmanuel, said his achievements in office shows that he is
not a mistake.
Speaking through Charles Udoh, his commissioner of information, the
governor said Akpabio has mortgaged his conscience and is now attempting
to deceive Akwa Ibom people.
“A governor
that records the achievements despite the challenges of an epileptic
national economy cannot be a mistake,” Udoh told TheCable.
“I doubt if there is any first term governor in Nigeria who has recorded this level of achievement. Godswill
Akpabio spent eight years as commissioner under Obong Attah; spent
eight years as governor at the height of the state’s income receipts
from the federal government yet he couldn’t complete Uyo-Ikot Ekpene
road (the road to his village) despite appropriating almost all the sums
budgeted for the project.
“Godswill also commissioned an
uncompleted building with rented furniture and fitting and called it 4
Points Sheraton Hotel. Udom has, as at today, facilitated the setting up
of more than nine industries in just three years; Godswill spent eight
years with zero industry
“It’s unfortunate that Akpabio has
mortgaged his conscience and is now attempting to deceive Akwa Ibom
people. Akwa Ibom people are wiser.”
