  There's no way on the face of the earth that those who are poised,determined and committed to doing the right things
 can in all dimensions, ramifications and strife escape persecution and 
being smeared by wanton accusations, lies,dirts spew and outright 
unhealthy and unconstructive criticism.
Those who carry, manufacture and play the pull him down script know 
deep down that's the only weapon they've got stay afloat realizing you 
are miles ahead. 
The simple truth there in surfaces that the 
moment such situations arise, arisen or had rose, you definitely are 
topping the preference scale of your arch rivals and thus he/she sees no
 reason, any good intentions, in anything that emanates forth of your 
making, effort and genuine commitment to making things turn around for 
good. 
The projection of the enemy is usually that of evil over good tidings.
They sure at the end are less of conquerors. Victory is always certain 
for those who fear God,love him, do his will and abide by the guiding 
principles of Christian living. 
For how will you be appreciated 
for your determined effort and zeal in building, encouraging and 
sponsoring hi-tech human capacity empowerment initiative by sending out 
young persons for various trainings in advanced medics, new/improved 
technological approach(ICT) when a serving colleague of yours somewhere 
in the middle belt, an APC state is doling out wheel barrows as an 
empowerment tool for his people.
My candid thought is that, I believe he has also included his children in the list, lineup and compilation of beneficiaries? 
Why won't they consider nailing you on the cross when you have 
conceived, executed and completed a functional hybrid Toothpick, Pencils
 and other Allied Products Factory at Ekom Iman now running in full 
capacity when the APC led Federal Government through a serving Minister 
of Technology in a "Change Driven Administration"is now considering and 
projecting establishing one in 2018.
Laughable! Is it the 
power(electricity supply)that has improved in a greater capacity since 
the inception of your administration courtesy of the attention you've 
given to the Ibom Power Plant at Ikot Abasi.
On May 29,new 
improved channel feed lines that will supply uninterrupted power to 
strategic urban and sub-urban units will come up in high stream and will
 be commissioned by His Excellency.
They are calling you all 
manners of names as you declare that the ongoing Syringe Factory in the 
state is targeting a production rate of 400 million syringes yearly 
aside South Africa which has the biggest syringe factory in Africa, with
 95million syringes a year,but the state government had already ordered 
eight production lines for its new factory and the equipment were 
expected to arrive in the state by the second week of May. 
It is
 worthy of note that the factory is setting up very nicely and will be 
commissioned during the second anniversary, come May 29.
Two 
years quite  impacting in an economy grounded, ravaged and raped by self
 inflicted recession due to obnoxious policies that are anti-people and 
off the 21st century style of leadership of powering a developing nation
 like Nigeria.
In all of this Gov. Udom Emmanuel has stood out 
showcasing credible credentials, dexterity,premium performance, 
determination and capacity to lead in an extraordinary dimension second 
to none. 
Sit-home-critics, skunks and less capacity thinking 
street urchins will only live to see the negatives in all that is 
genuinely ventured into bettering the lives of AKwaibomites as they 
remain limited to just no edition of how far you've taken this State to.
 
Why won't Nsima Ekere's NDDC lay claims to all the roads 
completely conceived and constructed by your administration in just a 
spate of 24 months in office when the commission is only busy smearing 
the metropolitan surfaces of our once motorable roads by dropping 
bitumen directly on red mud, debris and digging narrow drainage paths in
 the name of building roads.
Most road interventions of the 
agency are restricted only to Uyo metropolis as if other areas are out 
of bounds, even then they leave those roads in worst states that they 
were ab initio. 
Major road construction undertaken by your 
administration have been completed and commissioned yet the 
commission(NDDC)enlisted almost all of them as roads they intervened in a
 bit of scoring cheap political point of a man in greedy, selfish and 
perpetual aspiration of being a Governor.
Forgetting that leadership is of God and no amount of time you present yourself matters.
If it's not the desire of God, ain't no amount of self pursuit can see the light of the day. 
They have in their kitty series and uncountable abandoned projects 
scattered round the Niger Delta and you have fully delivered on yours,so
 why won't NDDC pull out all antics to fight and diminish your 
strides...?
The recent rehabilitation of Abuja airport runway 
has degenerated into a Deep Seaport overtaken by floodwater and you have
 less than 2years of leadership provided a world class 2nd Runway at 
Ibom International Airport. 
The new Secretariat Complex along 
Udoudoma Avenue was commissioned during your first year in office to 
ease accommodation issues of workers in the civil  service employ, which
 over the years experienced lack of accommodation and office spaces. 
They perceive all this gestures as acts of intimidation of little minds
 woven around mere complex,fear of the unknown and failure on their long
 drawn battle to bring you down,  which they have long failed woefully.
Is it the prompt payment of salaries and allowances which since 
assumption of office in 2015 has been your hallmark, benchmark 
trademark. 
The success story recorded keeps rolling in as state progress under your watch wax on phenomenal.
 This is indeed an optimum pack unveiled by no other, I stand to be briefed otherwise. 
With the AKwa Prime Hatchery at Ibiaku-uruan, The Cocoa/Rice 
Plantation and Maintenance  in Ini/Ikono LGA, The completed underground 
drainage system along Nsikak Edouk -Udoudoma -Tropicana and Obot Idim, 
Reactivation of Peacock Paint Industry, The Tomatoes Revolution via 
AKEES, Intervention in Health related issues especially in fresh 
recurring memory the newly constructed Dr. Ann Ward Gynaecology Block at
 St. Luke's Hospital, Anua -Uyo/Erosion intervention within the premises
 bordering Anua, Ekpri Nsukara and Eniong Offot and the magnificent 
rehab of Eket-Ibeno Road built for commissioning on May, 29,2017,all of 
this feat, strides, sustainable development initiatives and 
interventions has sure pepped up your already intimidating leadership 
profile, prowess, ability and unrivaled  credentials.
And as such
 we understand deeply how your rivals, enemies and those perpetual guber
 aspirants feel. They are like, this man won't just give up against all 
odds.
Your emergence in the Akwa Ibom political turf still leaves
 them haggling their tongue, mesmerized and pooh-pooh,when you assumed 
the top choice seat as the State Chief Executive. 
They keep 
wailing and fast tracking  the year 2019 as if they are in the know of 
what will even be the situation then,not realizing and drawing a barrier
 between governance and time to engage in politics. 
 That remains their chronic grudge and cup of coffee in displeasure while you keep soaring like an Eagle.
 For us we won't gear up to fight them on our own but we will continue 
to do the right things that will add a trillion value to Akwaibomites 
and in delivering our divine mandate promises, and allow them to fight 
on our behalf.
