2019: Akwa Ibom Can’t Remain In Opposition – Sen. Akpabio Insists …As Essien Udim Youths Declare Total Support To APC


Again, Senator Godwill Akpabio has insisted that Akwa Ibom State cannot afford to be an opposition of a party and government that have touched their lives positively.
Senator Akpabio who stated this while interacting with his kinsmen in his country home said  Akwa Ibom is one of the major beneficiaries of President Muhammadu’s administration and APC government, stressing that Akwa Ibom State has never had it so good in any administration at the federal level.
He opined that President Buhari has brought infrastructural renaissance to Akwa Ibom and also gave Akwa Ibom sense of belonging in his government.
While noting that Mr Buhari’s administration has actually commenced the dualization of Ikot Ekpene-Odupani Road, Ikot Ekpene-Aba Road and also appointed more Akwa Ibom indigenes into different positions in his government than any other regime, Akpabio said that Akwa Ibom people are wiser and cannot afford to remain in opposition.
He also stated that President Buhari’s second term ambition must be supported by Akwa Ibom people in order to complete the ongoing federal government projects already commenced in Akwa Ibom and also realized the implementation of the ones he has promised the state.
“With APC government in place, things will never be the same again in Akwa Ibom State because Mr. President has already rolled out the kind of programmes he has for Akwa Ibom State when he received a delegation of Akwa Ibom people in his office.
“So, for us to have the linking of the East –West Road from Oron to Calabar, for us to have the completion of the ongoing dualization of IkotEkpene to Odupani for us to realize the dream for the dualization of Ikot Ekpene to Aba promised by Mr President, something that does not happen since in the 70s. We therefore must support the President to return to office in 2019.
“Also, for us to realize the dream of the dualization of Ikot Abasi all the way to Ekparakwa – from there to Iwukem it means that the president and APC must return to power.
“Mr. President has also pledged that under his administration he will also extend the railway line to Akwa Ibom State,” Akpabio explained.
Akpabio further noted that in Akwa Ibom State, APC has since put their difference behind them and are ready to work together for the success of the party in the 2019 general elections as compared to the PDP where people are defecting in thousand daily.
The Senator noted that he is not deterred by blackmail, rumor and false accusations as he remained focused on how to link Akwa Ibom to the government at the center and bring dividends of democracy to the people of the state.
He said: “It is normal that every leader must be insulted and it is normal that every leader must have challenges but the leader must not lose focus of his goal. So, my goal is to ensure that Akwa Ibom State is linked up to the national and to bring development to Akwa Ibom."
Meanwhile, youths in Essien Udim Local Government Area under the auspices of APC Youth Caucus numbering about 3000  had stormed senator Godswill Akpabio’s country home to reaffirm their support to the second term ambition of Senator Akpabio and All Progressive Congress Candidates in the upcoming general elections.
