EKET SENATORIAL DISTRICT YOUTH MOVEMENT
12 Liverpool Road Eket, Eket Local Government Area
Our attention has been drawn to a certain news report by The Radar newspaper captioned: “Gov Udom Kick-Starts Re-run Campaign; as LG & Chieftaincy Commissioner, Works Commissioner Plan Campaign Rally for Eket Sen Dist on Saturday, reportedly levied Commissioners, Assembly Members, N20m, N10m each, respectively” and circulated online by the same publisher.
We normally would not have reacted to the false and baseless publication by The Radar Newspaper publisher who is a well-known supporter of APC in the state, but for record purposes and the innocent public who may be misled by the publication.
We want to state here that:
1. Uyo and Ikot Ekpene Senatorial District have had their turn through His Excellency Arch Obong Victor Attah and His Excellency Chief Dr. Godswill Obot Akpabio who have contributed immensely to the development of the state in the last 16 years respectively.
2. Uyo and Ikot Ekpene Senatorial Districts have performed creditably well in terms of developing the state and bringing it to where it is today.
3. We appreciate our brothers from Uyo and Ikot Ekpene Senatorial District for giving us the opportunity to produce Deacon Udom Gabriel Emmanuel as the Governor of the state, our own son.
4. If APC had loved Eket Senatorial District, they would have given us an opportunity to produce a Governor knowing that Akwa Ibom State is made up of 3 Senatorial District and it is the turn of Eket Senatorial District to Produce the Governor.
5. We appreciate PDP both at the National and State for zoning the Governorship to Eket Senatorial District to produce the Governor after Uyo and Ikot Ekpene senatorial district have had their turn.
6. Since His Excellency Deacon Udom Gabriel Emmanuel assumed office as the Executive Governor of Akwa Ibom State, we as his people from Eket Senatorial District have not formerly receive him. Hence the need for the rally.
7. The rally is NOT a re-run campaign as speculated by The Radar Newspaper, but to celebrate our industrious son on his victory at the polls and subsequent swearing-in as the Governor of Akwa Ibom State and to celebrate his lofty strides in the last seven months.
8.The ceremony is organized by the Eket Senatorial District Forum and not by Commissioners, Assembly members and Local Government Chairmen as speculated by The Radar Newspaper.
9.There was no such meeting(s) between the Honourable Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs Rt. Hon Victor Antai and his Works counterpart Honourable Ephraim Inyang with House Members, Caretaker Committee Chairmen and Commissioners as reported by The Radar Newspaper.
We urged there general public to ignore the false and misleading report by The Radar Newspaper and also advise the publishers to always verify their sources of information before publishing.
Signed
Iwaad Godwin Edoho
Secretary General
