Uruan and Uyo local government areas where the campaign train of the All Progressives Congress, APC, berthed today have expressed their dissatisfaction with the incumbent state government under Mr. Udom Emmanuel, promising to vote out the Peoples’ Democratic Party, PDP in the forthcoming polls.
Mr. Anthony Udo, who spoke on behalf of the youths in Uruan, said for over three years, the state government has not sited any viable industry in the area apart from seeking to establish cattle ranch for Mexican cows at Adadia, saying the project has not won the support of Uruan people.
Mr. Udo recalled how Mr. Udom Emmanuel proposed to site cemetery at Uruan local government instead of bringing industries to the youths of the area, a move that was roundly rejected by the people.

Also speaking, Mr. EffiongUdo, the Uruan Chapter Chairman of APC, stressed that there is no road linking southern Uruan with the northern part of the local government, calling on the APC governorship candidate, ObongNsimaEkere to construct the road that will be linking the two sections of Uruan when voted into office.
At Uyo campaign, the former Commissioner for Sports, Prof. Chris Ekong, decried how Uyo becomes, in the 3 ½ years of the government of Udom Emmanuel, the most marginalized local government in the state, noting the absence of industries and viable projects while urging the people of Uyo to reject the PDP government by voting for Obong Nsima Ekere and other APC candidates.
The former Chairman of Uyo local government council and the APC flag-bearer for the Uyo Federal Constituency election, Mr. Ekerette Ekpenyong, slammed Mr. Udom Emmanuel for seizing the revenue generated by the transporters in Uyo local government area for the State Ministry of Transport, while calling on ObongNsimaEkere to reverse the trend when he comes into office on 29th May. Similarly, Former Minister of State for the FCT, Senator John James Akpanudoedehe, while taking a swipe at Mr. Emmanuel of not being in the class of Obong Nsima Ekere in terms entrepreneurial and administrative sagacity, asked Mr. Ekere to bring back motor parks to Uyo for the local government to raise income for its own development.
In his remark, the APC governorship candidate, Obong Nsima Ekere, while berating the incumbent for disregarding Uyo’s master-plan,     promised to revert to the design of the capital city in accordance with its master-plan.
Mr. Ekere promised Uyo people that his government will bring back the market and motor-park to the local government.
The immediate past Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission also reiterated his commitment to pay civil servants promotion arrears, gratuity, and pension on regularly basis and promised that his government will not only resume payment of  bursary to Akwa Ibom students but will increase it from N5000 to N25000
Meanwhile in Southern Uruan Ward 5 in Uruan local government area, the political leader, Engr. Gregory Udofia had led thousands of supporters from PDP to the APC while members of the league of businessmen in their hundreds also moved to join APC in Uyo, and they were received into the party by its state chairman, Otuekong Ini Okopido.
