Umo Eno: Why Akwa Ibom Should Remain a PDP State
Aniedi UKOENANG
There is simply no good reason for Akwa Ibom People to vote any other party apart from the umbrella logo of the PDP in the upcoming governorship elections slated for 11th March, 2023.
We are witnesses that since 1999, Akwa Ibom State has been distinguished as a state blessed with good leadership. Any state you go to as an Akwa Ibom person, you will be told that you have good governance in Akwa Ibom State. This is so because this state, under PDP, has sustained a developmental trajectory since 1999 till date to the envy or admiration of sister states across the country.
For those that travel a lot, immediately you drive out of Akwa Ibom into another state, you become proud of Akwa Ibom for where God has taken us to via good leadership, and it’s PDP that has done all these developments in this state.
We need to keep faith with PDP. Because we can’t change a phenomenon that is working. I strongly believe that Akwa Ibomites have no good reason not to support PDP in the coming elections, considering how we have developed under PDP since 1999 till date. And considering the current level of peace and tranquility we are enjoying now, and it is crystal clear that if we elect a mature, humble servant of God in Pastor Umo Eno, for sure we will sustain peace in this state.
No doubt, all our PDP governors have been wonderful. For example, in aviation development, If Obong Victor Attah designed the airport and saved money for it, Akpabio did build it, and Udom Emmanuel has built a second taxi way, created Ibom Air, and is about to commission a classic International Terminal.
If Attah redesigned the Uyo capital city, Akpabio built two flyovers in it, built ring road one and other roads. Udom Emmanuel has added ring road 2, and multiple lanes ring road 3, he has done another flyover, he is expanding airport road from 2 lane to 4 lane, and many other roads.
If Akpabio built an International stadium in Uyo, Udom has built another one in Eket to spread sports development.
The free education has been sustained from one PDP Governornment to the other, the State University is sustained, Projects not completed by former PDP governors in the state are completed, especially Uyo-Ikot Ekpene road, Ibom Specialist hospital, and 4Point by Sheraton hotel.
If Akpabio took roads and bridges to Etim Ekpo, Ika, Udom has taken vital roads to Obot Akara, Oruk Anam and others with many bridges. Including the commissioning of the 4th longest bridge in Nigeria located in Mbo Local Government Area in Oro nation, by Udom Emmanuel.
The list goes on and on. Akwa Ibom has been blessed by PDP. Needless to attempt what we cannot predict. PDP in Akwa Ibom state has a predictable idealogy of peace, development and progress.
As a country, we are where we are in Nigeria because we felt we needed to have a taste of another party, APC. Today, that choice is not currently tasting good, and that is the mistake Akwa Ibomites are trying to make. I tell people to look at the quality and character of people around Umo Eno, and also look at the quality and character of people around the other candidates; it is easy to predict how organized Akwa Ibom will be if Umo Eno wins, just as it is easy to predict how risky, rowdy, and violent this state could be if any of the major opposition candidates win.
Akwa Ibom State must not be allowed to be hijacked and taken to that table of retrogressiveness. Let us keep maintaining what works for us.
Pastor Umo Eno and PDP remains the only hope of sustaining peace and development in Akwa Ibom State
AKWA IBOM PEOPLE, LET’S VOTE PDP AGAIN.
