The tenure of Governor Udom Emmanuel has been described as the game of soccer in which the first and second halves must be played to complete a match.
Special Adviser to the Governor on Political Legislative Affairs and Water Resources, Rt. Hon. (Barr.) Ekong Sampson presented the analysis at the Eket Senatorial District Town Hall Meeting organized by the Directorate of Marketing and Brand Management, at the Council Hall of Mkpat Enin Local Government Area.
Barrister Ekong Sampson said 2019
will only mark the end of the first half, while the second will follow
immediately from then to 2023.
He said the people of area have been
challenged by the massive support and confidence expressed by the people
of Uyo and Ikot Ekpene Senatorial Districts for the Udom Emmanuel
administration and towards the 8-year match.
The Mkpat Enin born
political juggernaut speaking of the people of Eket Senatorial District
said, “believe in good things, we believe in progress, we believe in the
advancement of our people”. He reassured the people of Akwa Ibom State
that Eket Senatorial district remains very united behind Governor Udom
Emmanuel.
The Special Adviser urged the people to express their
support for their dear Governor by going all out to get registered and
obtain their voter’s card, then ultimately come out to the poling units
to return Governor Udom Emmanuel, whom he described as a man of God and a
man of the people, come 2019.
He also used the forum to sensitize the
people on the importance of enrolling for the National ID Card and said
no one should be left out in the two exercises.
He encouraged the
people not to be disturbed about stage managed activities that may pass
for defections or looks like defections from the party.
Ekong Sampson
stated emphatically that the real defections are about to occur as so
many quality people, according to him, are already tired of where they
have been and are moving over to the PDP in no time.
He commended
the Marketing and Banding Directorate of the Governor’s Office for a job
well done, in creating a platform to galvanize the interest of the
people of the State in support of the Governor.
He reiterated his
position that the Udom Emmanuel football match has to play for 8 years.
He said 2019 will only mark the half-time of the match which must resume
again in the same year and play till 2023.
This position he kept reechoing to the several youth groups who rallied around him after the event, chanting the fond by which he is known amongst his people, Onomkpoinam is PDP, Mkpat Enin is for PDP.
