The Commissioner who is from Obio
Offot village in Offot Ukwa Clan, recalled that though the stakeholders'
meeting was long overdue because of his busy schedule, he was happy for the
patience and understanding of his kinsmen and promised to carry everybody along
in the scheme of things.
He revealed that the second term bid
of Governor Udom Emmanuel in 2019 was none negotiable, and called on the people
of Uyo to brace up to vote Governor Udom Emmanuel back to office.
“This meeting was long overdue. I
felt as the highest political office holder in the Local Government, it was
necessary for me to gather my people and show myself to them.
“It is gratifying to know that my
people are hundred percent behind Governor Udom Emmanuel’s administration and
his second term and they have also given me their words in protecting me in
everything I do in the course of projecting the Governor for 2019.”
The Commissioner averred that the
landmarks of Governor Udom Emmanuel’s administration are there to compare what
the PDP led government has been able to achieve in the state and that of APC at
the national level.
In his speech, the Political Leader
of Uyo Local Government Area, Dr. Valentine Attah said the people of Uyo have
no benefit supporting any other person apart from Mr. Udom Emmanuel.
“I was with APC members in my
village and we spoke with one voice that we are going to return Governor Udom
for second term. Any Uyo person who is in APC is an ambassador of PDP.
“We are supporting the Governor
because he is the first person who understands good governance in terms of
sustainable development. We want to learn and understudy his power of
governance.”
The Political leader of Uyo called
on his people to protect political appointees from the local government rather
than castigate them openly.
Also speaking, the Chairman, Uyo
Capital City Development Commission (UCCDC), Prince Enobong Uwah thanked the
Commissioner for organising the stakeholders' meeting and appealed to every Uyo
child to protect leaders from the local government.
He described Commissioner for
Information and Strategy, Mr. Charles Udoh as a good man and promised to
support him at all times.
Prince Uwah revealed that the people
of Uyo Local Government Area has never had it so good in terms of political
appointment than now, and advised everybody to rise in defense of Governor Udom
Emmanuel’s administration and his second term.
The former Commissioner promised to
fight whoever moves to push Mr. Charles Udoh down in his bid to serve the
state, while also warning returnees to the party not to cause problem with
others who have remained steadfast.
In his reaction, the PDP Vice
Chairman Uyo Senatorial District, Elder Imoh Okon said the victory of PDP at
the supreme court was a great breakthrough for the party and called on all the
party men and women to support Governor Udom Emmanuel to succeed.
The party leader reminded members of
the upcoming PDP delegates election in the state and urged all of them to go to
their various ward centre for what he described as “transparent delegates
election” with a promise that no party person will be sidelined.
He thanked the Commissioner for
hosting the party leaders and pleaded with the people of the local government
to support and protect political appointees from the local government.
The stakeholders’ meeting had in
attendance all elected and appointed political office holders in Uyo Local
Government, youths, women and party leaders from all the wards in Uyo Local
Government Area.
