APC in Ikono Crashes Into PDP

***Pledges For Governor Udom, Macaire and Mbakara

By Mfreke Udonkang

Friday 30th November, was a solitude day for APC aspirants in Ikono local government area, as their ers aligned and pledged their unalloyed for all the candidates of PDP in the State, ranching from the Governorship aspirant, Mr Udom Emmanuel, Federal House of Reps Aspirant, Obong Emmanuel Ukpong-Udo and State House of Assembly aspirant, Mr Asuquo Nana Udo.


The episode occurred immediately after the remains of Late Rt. Hon. Dr. Clement Bassey was laid to rest. A group progenited by the special adviser to the chairman of council on inter-governmental relations, Hon. John Asanga snared the duo at Ikot Udo, Nkwot.


The grass rooted aspirants were forced to have an unprepared seat, meet and gist with the sea of heads who chanted melodious songs to entertain them, speaking at the sit-meet- gist, a front line woman leader in ward 6, Mrs Ekemini Aniekan Udofia thanked the two aspirants for stopping by and promised to mobilize women of the ward to vote massively for the party from the highest position to the lowest. She expressed dismay over the fucate promises of the APC and assured that the days of the devilish party are numbered.


The convener of the sit- meet-gist, Mr John Asanga praised the standard bearers for their magnanimity and down to earth attitude portrayed by them for halting to sit with the group.


"I want to thank the principal of MkpoikanaAbasi and Akwa Odudu Abasi campaign groups for stopping by to meet with grassrooters after the burial of our late leader, defiance that you came to this community to mourn with the deceased family, I want to intimate you that we will you and the performing Governor of our dear state whose tenure has brought about industries and peace profound" he said.


Obong Emmanuel Ukpong-udo (Macaire) the federal house of reps aspirant for Ikono/Ini in his remark said that he was amazed by the show of love by the group and the ward, he applauded them for the suavity and mind blowing songs sang by the women of the ward, he promised the people life changing representation which has been lacking penultimate Years. He stressed that his tenure in the hallowed chamber will weed out ineffective representation in the constituency.


On his part, the PDP standard bearer for Ikono state constituency, Mr Asuquo Nana Udo expressed his delight by the people who despite the huge loss of the former House member by the ward, thought it wise to lay siege for them. He promised impact filled and developmental minded tenure in office when voted in to power in 2019.

The sit meet gist ended in a lasting soiree, as the remaining few of the APC party aligned with the PDP and begged to be carried along. As it stands there is no PDP in this Local government, everybody is in PDP

Nigerian Police Force is a disgrace to police forces in the world. How on earth they are backing illegality in the land ? So APC in their right senses can perpetrate this evil and come out of it ? They should know that Akwa Ibom State is different from other States so those in the act should prepare for the worst.

"armed thugs led by Hon Nse Ntuen came in and asked all of us Staff to leave the assembly premises, they are inside there now, the police saw them, my name is Alice Asuquo I'm a staff here"

How can five sacked of a house of Assembly be aided by the new Akwa Ibom police boss to defecate in the hallowed chambers.
This is so petty and uncalled for. Federal might should give us roads and infrastructure.

Federal Might should not be used for legislative rascality.
Federal might should escort those bunch of comedians out of the Hallowed Chambers of Akwa Ibom State legislature so that lawmakers can start the day's business.
Akwa Ibom is not for sale.

WHY GOV UDOM RENAMED IBOM INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT AFTER FORMER GOVERNOR VICTOR ATTAH 

Akwa Ibom International Airport has been renamed Victor Attah International Airport after the second civilian Governor of the State  Arch. (Obong) Victor Attah.
This was announced at a Special Banquet held to commemorate the 80th Birthday of former Governor Attah at Le Meridian Ibom Hotel And Gulf Resort.

The renaming of the Airport which came on the heels of a resolution by the State House of Assembly was to immortalise Obong Attah in view of his noble contributions to development of the state.

Making the pronouncement, Governor Emmanuel eulogised Obong Attah for the laudable development programmes initiated during his eight years tenure as Governor of the state and listed the development projects to include Ibom Deep Seaport Project , Ibom International Airport with Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) facility, Ibom Hotel And Golf Resort, Phase Two of the state secretariat Complex, among others.

He noted that his commitment to the state development was unquantifiable and commended him for his resilience to the development of the state, Niger Delta region and entire country.

Governor Emmanuel acknowledged the contributions of Obong Attah towards making the MRO unit of the Airport functional despite his exit from office, saying that such demonstration of zeal, patriotism and forthrightness was worthy of emulation by all and sundry.

While commending Arch Attah for his doggedness for the actualisation of true federalism and resource control, the Governor maintained that the vision had paid off well for the state and the south south region with the result being tremendous increase in the revenue accruing to the oil bearing states.

He congratulated the celebrator for making it to the age of eighty and prayed God to grant him robust health and more years of existence to enable him impact more on the society.

In his response, the obviously overwhelmed Obong Attah said that he would eternally remain grateful to Governor Emmanuel and the people of the state for the respect accorded him and prayed God to reciprocate such honour on the Governor.

Obong Attah who is generally referred to as the father of modern Akwa Ibom, recounted with nostalgia his bitter experience on the occasion of his seventieth birthday celebration where the then istration of Chief Godswill Akpabio denied him access to Le Meridian Ibom Hotel where he proposed hosting the event and playing on the Golf Course, and he resorted to celebrating the birthday at  Eko Hotels at Lagos State.

Attah called on political gladiators to play politics devoid of rancour in all spheres of life.

In a goodwill message, President Muhammadu Buhari congratulated Obong Attah for ing the league of the octogenarians and particularly lauded his contributions to the development of the state and country over the years.

Speaking through the Minister of National Planning and Budget Senator Udoma Udoma, President Buhari commended Obong Attah for his pragmatic leadership prowess, describing him as a distinguished professional and Architect of global repute.

He spoke in glowing of his ingenuity in laying solid foundation for the development of the state.
President Buhari pointed out that Obong Attah had deployed his professional ingenuity to contribute immensely in making Akwa Ibom a state to reckoned with given the ambience of the state.

He added that former Governor Attah had during his istration set out development agenda for the state and had taken steps to launch the state into a pedestal of unprecedented development and spoke of his approach to the resource control where he single handedly took up the fight for the abrogation of on shore/ offshore dichotomy and commended him for his fearless disposition even in the face of daunting disposition.

He expressed appreciation to the Government and people of the state for celebrating Obong Attah while alive and wished him happy celebration.

Also, former Governor of Delta State, Chief James Ibori acknowledged that Governor Attah has distinguished himself as an apostle of resource control having successfully won the resource control battle and given voice to the people of the Niger Delta region.

A students leader in Akwa Ibom state, Comrade Ikobong Ekette has lampoon the leadership of APC in Akwa Ibom who go about organizing and faking people's defection to their party.

Mr Ekette, the immediate past students union government president of Akwa Ibom State University was very shocked when a friend revealed to him that his name was shortlisted among the names of the decampees to APC in his hometown Ikono last week. He debunked such claims and reassured his utmost and unshakable for the PDP and governor Udom Emmanuel

I will keep on ing the party and governor who has brought back peace to campuses through the proscription of cult activities and other anti-social activities" he said.

"If the APC should channel the resources used in organizing fake decamping rally to manpower improvement and empowerment, people will speak good of them. This lies and trick won't help them in any way" he added.

Investigation has revealed that, the former Commissioner of Police in Akwa Ibom State. Mr.John Abang had stepped on powerful toes at the Presidency, which caused his ouster from the State.

Sources in the Police headquarters told our Reporters, that the directive allegedly given to Mr.Abang was not carried out in full.

We gathered that, the former was handed an order, to lay a siege on the House of Assembly, to prevent the Speaker, Mr.Onofiok Luke from gaining entrance into the Assembly, but that order was not carried out to the fullest, and the plot not well executed.

Recollect that, despite the partial siege, the Speaker and were able to access the chambers of the Assembly, were five seats of Legislators who defected to the All Progressives Congress were declared vacant.

The order we learnt, was allegedly handed down to the Inspector General of Police, through the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, in connivance with the Chief of a Staff to the President, Abba Kyari.

Our top police source also confided in our medium, that the former senate minority leader, Mr.Godswill Akpabio, was said to have shouted on the police Chief, for what he termed his alleged alliance with the Peoples Democratic Party, to humiliate him.

With Mr.Abang’s non compliance with the alleged directive, a signal from the Force headquarters was activated, which led to his transfer from the State.

Giving credence to what the APC Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole had previously alleged, that the was not working for the APC as he should.

Efforts to speak with the Force Public Relations Officer were unsuccessful at the time of this report.

You attached pictures of vehicles. Where the action? Something dae worry una o. What kind of journalism is this?

I don't know the kind of action you are talking about guy..... Can you explain please?

I am reporting live from Akwa Ibom state House of Assembly Complex, Uyo, Akwa Ibom state.

From what am seeing now, a combined force of Police, Army and Civil Defense has taken over the entire Assembly complex, they have bared House of Assembly staffs from gaining access to their offices.

According to in formations I've gathered so far, it's a plot by the leadership of the opposition party in the state and the Inspector general of police to enable five Assembly who were sacked last week to overthrow the speaker, Rt. Hon. (Barr) Onofiok Luke in order to install their preferred member Hon. Nse Ntuen as the new speaker.

I don't know, but i think this is one reason the IG removed the former Police Commissioner of Police.

I've attached pictures I managed to snap

The State House of Assembly complex has been locked down by t security agents. As at the time this news was gathered, it has been proven that workers of the State House are barred from gaining entrance into the complex. 

Before now, the IGP had changed the Commissioner of Police who stopped the illegal invasion of the State House complex by APC thugs two days ago, thereby replacing him with Mr. Hyelasinda Musa Kimo. 

The reason for this change is a strategy to always give the five sacked APC Lawmakers access to the chambers each day they want to have their factional plenary sessions. 

Breaking: Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly under siege http://akwaibomdaily.com.ng/breaking-akwa-ibom-state-house-of-assembly-under-siege/

APC National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole carpeted Police Commissioner John Abang for not aiding APC to cause instability in Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly.

In a release yesterday, Mr Oshiomhole alleged that six of the state House of Assembly lost their seats.

This allegation is however untrue as only five of the Assembly ed APC as against the six.

The Speaker Barr. Onofiok Luke, deriving powers from relevant constitutional provisions, and a federal high court order, had declared the seats of Hon Idongesit Ituen, Nse Ntuen, Otobong Ndem, Gabriel Toby and Victor Udofia, vacant following their cross carpeting to another political party.

But the APC national chairman believes that Mr Abang should have provided cover to the sacked lawmakers to enable them stall sitting in the Akwa Ibom State legislature.

SACK OF FIVE LAWMAKERS IN AKWA IBOM: OSHIOMHOLE CHIDES POLICE BOSS http://akwaibomdaily.com.ng/sack-of-five-lawmakers-in-akwa-ibom-oshiomhole-chides-police-boss/:

•••Plot to stop impeachment of erring member

Emerging scenes from the Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly show that a former member of the Assembly, who was recently ostracized by the Federal High Court, Idongesit Ituen, acting in consonance with his mentor Senator Godswill Akpabio, has mobilized thugs to foment crises, by hindering movement into the state assembly complex.

They are allegedly armed and are wielding dangerous weapons they burn tyres and disrupt regular movement into the assembly complex.

Eye witness report that the thugs were heard charging loudly that without Idongesit Ituen, no one else can enter the complex.

Earlier today, the State Chapter of the PDP had issued a statement, based on intelligence report, that there were plans by the APC to use thugs and cause a breach of peace, thereby stalling proceedings at the chambers.

Gov Udom Emmanuel on his part has repeatedly warned politicians against violence, maintaining that nothing short of peace and unity is needed to move Akwa Ibom forward, irrespective of political affiliations or aspirations.

It would be recalled that the Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Barr. Onofiok Luke had last week acted in accordance with the judgement of the Federal High Court, which vacated the seat of the former Itu Assemblyman for cross carpeting to another political party without any tangible reason.

Some anti riot policemen who arrived the scene moments ago, are yet to bring the situation under control.

Few weeks after being adjudged the safest state in Nigeria, Akwa Ibom under Governor Udom Emmanuel has emerged the cleanest state in the country.

The state was followed by Cross River, Abuja, Rivers and Niger as the five cleanest states in the country.

The revelations were contained in a report released Friday, in Abuja by Clean-Up Nigeria (CUN), an international non-governmental organisation.

On the other hand, Kogi, Osun, Nasarawa, Zamfara and Kebbi, have been named as the five dirtiest states in Nigeria.

Conversely, Akwa Ibom State came first with 78 percent, while Cross River, which, hitherto, was believed to be the cleanest state in Nigeria came second with 64 percent. Abuja came third with 58 percent, Rivers came fourth with 37 percent and Niger came fifth with 35.2 percent.

According to the details of the report, a research was carried out between October 2017 and October 2018.

In the report, Kogi and Osun States scored 11 percent out of 100, Nasarawa scored 12.2, while Zamfara came fourth with 14.2 percent. Kebbi came fifth with 14.2 percent.

The report noted that during the period under review, all the states of the federation, including the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), were visited by a team of environmental experts.

National Coordinator of CUN, Mr. Ene Baba Owoh, while addressing newsmen, said five performance indicators were used during the exercise. He said there was also a quarterly monitoring and evaluation in the entire states and zones of the federation's.

SENATOR AKPABIO CARPETS OBONG ATTAH AGAIN

•••SAYS AKWA IBOM PEOPLE ARE HYPOCRITES


Few days to the much anticipated 80th birthday of Akwa Ibom legendary leader Arc.Obong Victor Attah, his successor and former Senate Minority  Leader, Godswill Akpabio has tangue-lashed Attah, accusing him of embezzlement and unability throughout his tenure between 1999 and 2007.

Akpabio, who was reacting to widespread criticism of profligacy and wasteful spendings that rocked his 8years 'uncommon' istration, lamented that he is being singled out for attack, while Obong Attah is treated as a saint by Akwa Ibom people.

The Akwa Ibom North West senator described Akwa Ibomites as hypocrites, for insisting that he must come and for his stewardship, while his predecessor was celebrated on the streets of the state.

Akpabio, in a post on Monday in some notable social media platforms through his Personal Assistant on Media, Pastor Abasiandikan Nkono,  said "The question is, what and what did Akpabio inherit from former Gov. Attah?"

Senator Akpabio who instituted two major probes on Obong Attah's Science Park project and the Pioneer Newspaper Printing Press projects,  during his tenure said his predecessor Obong Attah left him with nothing to use and start operating as a governor when he assumed office in 2007.

"When you see a man who is totally at sea with regards to the workings of govt threatening fire and brimstone that Akpabio must be called to , when initiators of projects such as the Science Park (Obong Attah)that were never completed, but which monies were paid, working free on the streets, one cannot but feel terribly amused by such high wire hypocrisy and double standards in Akwa Ibom State."

Akpabio, who served for six years as commissioner under Attah, dismissed claims that former Governor Attah's government received so little and should not receive any blame.

"The primitive refrain in that regard is that Arc. Attah did not receive enough money. 

But has anybody ever asked why 98% of the value of Ibom Science Park was paid and yet till today that place remains uned for? If Akpabio did that, would he have lived?"

With widespread condemnations trailing the moribund Tropicana project, and other abandoned projects despite huge bugetary provisions in his time, Akpabio explained that "Since others before him are not called to question," nobody should commence ability probe with his istration. 

"Let no man make any mistake, as far as public with regards to governorship in the State is concerned, I begin to wonder how you can call Akpabio to , when past s, elected governors who equally ran the State on federally allocated funds are working about unmolested."

Despite his huge allocation, Akpabio likened himself to the biblical parable of talents where the master gave different amounts to the different servants. 

According to him, even the man who received only one talent was equally called to for it, just as the man who received 5 talents.

"Then in our time we issue a clean bill of performance to the man with one talent (whose preoccupation was indictment of the master and envy), while at the same time mindlessly calling the man who received five talents to (inspite of the fact that he did all he could in the prevailing circumstance)"

"When people claim Akpabio received more money than any other governor in the State before him, and as such he must be killed, speaks volume of their inconceivable ignorance. 

"It does appear to me that the same people who keep hammering on the amount accrued to Akpabio's regime don't do that because the love the State. They merely gloat over those funds (most of them drew from either directly or inadvertently), out of envy, ingratitude and hard hatred.

Senator Akpabio is the only Governor in the state to have instituted investigative s to probe the istration of his predecessor, despite being a part of the probed istration.
