Akwa Ibom is fast becoming the giant of the south south and east. Great one Gov Udom

Akwa Ibom is taking the lead, other Nigerian states like our cousin Abia should vote for credible technocrats to achieve this,.... Nigeria is holding Akwa Ibom State down, we generate enough light to power the entire state but the Nigerian system deliberately keeps us in darkness. we've been voting visionaries back to back from Arc. Obong Victor Attah, H. E Senator Akpabio to H. E Gov. Udom Emmanuel, that's why we're developing uncommon transformation rapidly. Who could be believe Akwa Ibom and Ebonyi the underdogs are now the supreme developers

wow Akwa ibom keep shining!

Good news



Or




Bad news

Governor Emmanuel Udom is still blazing the trail in Akwa Ibom state.Doing what the FG promised but failed to do.

A State in nigeria, runs it own personal fleets of commercial planes,
and Nigeria do not have a national carrier, chai!!!
Nigeria, under buhari has been destroyed, people were shouting we want change, see the useless change, sai baba movement.
kudos to every state performing without the help of the F.G, e.g Edo state and it refinery(state owned), ibom air(state owned) Imo air(state owned) e.t.c..
