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.
