-

By UbongAbasi Ise

Former Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Senator Godswill Akpabio, has sent a stern notice to his successor, Mr. Udom Emmanuel, which suggests the Hilltop Mansion in Uyo will be taken over by another occupant come 2019.

Akpabio predicted during his empowerment initiative at Ikot Ekpene Monday that by the end of the year, Mr. Udom Emmanuel will live alone with family at the Hilltop Mansion.

"By December 2018, Udom Emmanuel will be living alone with only his family in Hilltop Mansion with no visitor whatsoever because every single Akwa Ibomite will be member of APC," he declared.
Senator Godswill Akpabio assured the duo of Obong Nsima Ekere and President Muhammadu Buhari of maximum votes from his senatorial district next year.
“Your Excellency, Nsima Ekere, you need about 850,000 votes to win the governorship election. Ikot Ekpene Senatorial District will give you and President Buhari 500,000 votes. You just need few votes around Uyo Senatorial District and Eket Senatorial District.
"When you go to Abuja, tell Mr. President, if he plans to campaign in Akwa Ibom State, he should remove Ikot Ekpene Senatorial District from his campaign itinerary. His vote is 100% intact. Obong Nsima Ekere, we will do same for your own," he said.
Meanwhile, it was all excitement for the constituents of Akwa Ibom Northwest Senatorial District Monday as Senator Godswill Akpabio, accompanied by Obong (Dr.) Nsima Ekere, the governorship candidate of All Progressive Congress, APC, disbursed to the participants the sum of  N250,000 entrepreneurial and  agricultural grants at an event held in Ikot Ekpene, the headquarters of the Senatorial District.
Akpabio, who is currently representing the senatorial district at the upper chamber of the national legislature, flagged off the entrepreneurial and agricultural cash grants for his constituents with the aim to upscale agricultural productivity and to boost the informal economic sector of the district.
Another eventful moment at Ikot Ekpene came when Mr. Amama Aloysius, the former transition chairman of Obot Akara local government, defected with thousands of supporters from PDP to the APC.

This is the village where Mr. Udom Emmanuel, as Akwa Ibom State governor, is having his office. This village hosts the state judiciary headquarters, Police "A" Division, Nigerian Prisons, Fire Service, State Library headquarters, Uyo local government council, Anchor Insurance, Ibom Plaza, banks, and motley of business organizations. This community is the root of Uyo metropolis, the seat of Akwa Ibom State government. Ironically, this village has never had any indigene appointed as a commissioner into the state cabinet before. None of the indigenes has ever been a Permanent Secretary to any of the state ministries. They are not appointed into boards. They are also eluded by government contracts. More shockingly, no indigene of Uyo village has ever been elected Chair
