Udom Emmanuel, governor of Akwa
Ibom state, says his achievements in office shows that he is not a mistake.
He said this while responding to
Godswill Akpabio, his predecessor, who described him as a mistake that must berejected in 2019.
Akpabio who recently defected
from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC),
said this at a rally in Ikot Ekpene.
Responding through Charles Udoh,
his commissioner of information, the governor said Akpabio has mortgaged his
conscience and is now attempting to deceive Akwa Ibom people.
“A governor that records the
achievements despite the challenges of an epileptic national economy cannot be
a mistake,” Udoh told TheCable.
“I doubt if there is any first
term governor in Nigeria who has recorded this level of achievement. Godswill
Akpabio spent eight years as commissioner under Obong Attah; spent eight years
as governor at the height of the state’s income receipts from the federal
government yet he couldn’t complete Uyo-Ikot Ekpene road (the road to his
village) despite appropriating almost all the sums budgeted for the project.
“Godswill also commissioned an
uncompleted building with rented furniture and fitting and called it 4 Points
Sheraton Hotel. Udom has, as at today, facilitated the setting up of more than
nine industries in just three years;
Godswill spent eight years with zero industry
“It’s unfortunate that Akpabio
has mortgaged his conscience and is now attempting to deceive Akwa Ibom people.
Akwa Ibom people are wiser.”
