Ita Awak’s Old 505 Peugeot 1989 model, Replaced by Hon Victor Antai with a brand new Primera |
A socio-political group, Oro Youths Movement, have taken a swipe at Mr. Ita Awak, the state Publicity Secretary of APC, over his recent blackmail and character assassination of His Excellency, Deacon Udom Emmanuel, Executive Governor of Akwa Ibom, Senator Godswill Obot Akpabio and the Honourable Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Rt. Hon Victor Antai, with a view to pull these distinguish sons of the state down.
In a press statement made available to our newsroom and sign by the National President, Ulap Okokon Abia and National Secretary, Comrade Etifit Okpo disclosed that, Mr. Ita Awak an unscrupulous elements within APC in the state, have found a venture in pouring vituperations on the trio of Deacon Udom Emmanuel, Sen. Akabio and Rt Hon Victor Antai with the sole aim of pulling them down and satisfying his pay masters.
The statement read in part: “Ordinarily, we would have ignored the garbage circulated by Mr. Ita Awak, and his sponsors, and not dignify them with a comment, but for the fact that, the unsuspecting public may be misled and hoodwinked into entertaining their concocted tales as truth.
“We also want to put on record that the peaceful co-existence between the three Senatorial Districts represent a positive indication that, the Udom Emmanuel’s led administration has created a conducive and people friendly environment for all and sundry”.
According to them, Mr. Ita Awak has benefitted so much from the past administration of Senator Godswill and Rt. Hon Victor Antai, stressing that Rt. Hon Victor Antai personally introduced him to Obong Umana Okon Umana, the APC gubernatorial candidate in last governorship election.
“This is the same man who couldn’t pay his house rent at Ewet Housing Estate and was thrown out by the landlord but was rescue by Senator Akpabio who came to visit Arch. Otu Ita Toyo and met him and his family squatting in a garage as a house boy.
“The same Akpabio whom Ita Awak is claiming to plot his assassination gave him (Ita Awak) Millions of Naira in cash to rent a house and further gave him a contract at Essien Udim to use the proceeds to build himself a house. The house which he has not been able to complete because of his extravagance lifestyle and patronage of women of easy virtue.”
The statement pointed further that, it is not the first time Ita Awak is raising false alarm on a purported assassination attempt on his life without reporting to the security agencies for appropriate actions.
“We want to use this medium to inform the general public, the Police and all security agencies that Mr. Ita Awak is actually the person seeking to assassinate Rt Hon. Victor Antai because this is the second time he has raised false alarm on a purported assassination attempt on his life without reporting to the security agencies for appropriate actions”.
The group highlighted some of the achievements of Hon Victor Antai to include; restoring electricity to some parts of Oron LGA, Mbo LGA and Udung Uko LGA in 2002, scholarship to students studying in various institutions, (including school fees for Mr. Ita Awak’s children), training of youths in various skills and donation of over 60 cars to both indigenes and non-indigenes, which he (Ita Awak) is also a beneficiary.
They also use the opportunity to challenge Ita Awak to point out one person he has bought a bicycle for in his entire life time talk less of while he was the Commissioner for Information.
They reaffirmed their stand on the zoning principles of Akwa Ibom State and also affirm their support for His Excellency Deacon Udom Emmanuel
