Leadership is best defined in its acceptability,the appointment of Mr
Okon Okon as Chairman board of Internal Revenue by a promise keeping
governor; Mr Udom Emmanuel in fulfilment of his Agenda of Political
inclusion has compelled hitherto aggrieved sons and daughters of Uruan
who missed their way to APC to make a complete reversal back to The
Peoples Democratic Party(PDP).
Leadership like money is useless
with lack of confidence and acceptability by the people, Mr Okon Okon's
timely appointment has bridged the Political Laguna of elitism, biases
and segregation,thereby raising the standard and expectations of the
masses to align with prevailing Leadership realities of fairness, equity
and Justice as exemplified overtime through tested and proven qualities
embedded in Mr Okon Okon to deliver for his people cum Akwa Ibom State
dividends of Inclusion as portrayed by Mr Udom Emmanuel towards Uruan
Nation.

burnt brooms as signs of no return were led by Obong Sylvanus Etim Okon

square peg in a square with the capacity to deliver on the demands of
the job given him by Mr Udom Emmanuel.

the campaigns and that Uruan will reelect him without reservation come
