His emergence as the speaker of Akwa-ibom state house of assembly was never by chance.
Since his assumption of office as the speaker of Akwa-ibom state house of Assembly he has enjoyed kudos, goodwill messages and support from his constituents and the greater number of Akwa-ibomite especially the youths on daily basis.
Many Akwa-ibomite sees Onofiok Luke as the messiah who will turn things around for their good.
I cannot dispute the fact that Hon. Onofiok Luke has the capacity and ability to deliver on the expectations of the suffering Akwa-ibom masses.
Yesterday Hon.Onofiok Luke was honoured with life time award by the NBA Uyo Akwa-ibom state branch.
Such award is very encouraging to the teaming youths of our dear state and Nigeria at large.
THE EXPECTATIONS OF AKWA-IBOMITE: during your stay in the university of Uyo you were a driving force to reckon with, you were not perturbed or swayed by the powers that be but you were very dogged and determine to fight for the welfare of the student even at your own peril.
When you were appointed as the S.A to governor Akpabio you remained steadfast in standing for what is right.
Until your triumphant entry into Akwa-ibom state house of assembly you remained a voice for the voiceless and the oppressed.
You are the second man in command as far as the three tiers of government is concerned but permit me to say that you have been lukewarm about some pertinent issues to include:
(1) setting measures to ameliorate the suffering of Akwa-ibom masses and making sure such measures are implemented.
Worthy of note is a cup of locally made food stuff like Garry being sold for 120# and marketers blaming the high cost in locally obtained food stuffs on Buhari.
(2) During Obong Victor Athah administration the house of assembly resisted continuous appointment of caretaker committee's to oversee the functions of local government, again during Godswill Akpabio administration the house of assembly which you Hon.Onofiok Luke was a member resisted and ensured that local government election was conducted and inaugurated.
But it is sad to say that in your leadership of Akwa-ibom state house of Assembly and for the first time in the history of democracy in Akwa-ibom state local government election has not been done for ongoing two years now.
This is totally short of the masses expectations of you.
(3) Akwa-ibom people thought that having you as the speaker the state internally generated revenue IGR and the federal government monthly allocation will be well accounted for.
(4) we are very surprised that Our own Onofiok Luke escorts governor Udom Emmanuel to ground breaking ceremonies which if not for the abounding love of God for Akwa-ibom would have caused earthquake without ensuring those projects are executed and worst still accompany the governor to commission project found only on paper and Bill boards.
Oh Hon. Onofiok Luke do not allow our confidence in you to suffer shame.
Defend the truth, Defend justice, equity and fairness.
Stop thinking about what you will be tomorrow, you and only you can make Udom sit up.
#Akwa-ibom People say no to groundbreaking without execution, say no to caretaker committee's.
