The Akwa Ibom State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has been asked to channel its energy towards ameliorating the deplorable conditions of the citizens in APC controlled states, like Osun where workers were being owed salaries for several months.
The spokesperson for the Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Mr Ekerete Udoh lamented the worrying condition of workers in such states and advised the APC to work towards improving their living “instead of manufacturing lies about an otherwise peaceful and tranquil State like Akwa Ibom where Governor Udom Emmanuel is alive in his duty to put smiles on the faces of the people”.
Mr Udoh was reacting to a statement credited to the State Chapter Chairman of the APC, Dr. Amadu Attai.
The Chief Press Secretary reiterated Governor Emmanuel’s total dedication to his main campaign promise of rapid industrialization in the state, which led to the constitution of a technical committee for the realization of the Ibom Deep Seaport with a three-year deadline for the completion of the project.
He revealed that the Governor had also visited the moribund Peacock Paint factory at Ikot Ekan, Etinan Local Government Area and will soon constitute a team of experts to advise the government on its revitalization.
He added that technical committees on Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and Agriculture and Food Sufficiency will soon be constituted while electricity supply had become more stable since the Governor’s direct intervention with the Port Harcourt Electricity Distribution Company.
The statement further noted that, “It appears the APC is more interested in manufacturing issues, most of which defy logical analysis. Governor Udom Emmanuel, in accordance with the law and the requirement by the Code of Conduct Bureau has already declared his assets and the forms duly returned. APC should thus stop chasing shadows.
“Akwa Ibom State is under the able hands of an internationally recognized and celebrated technocrat and banker extra-ordinaire, and Governor Udom Emmanuel is deploying his vast contacts and language of communications within the financial world to draw investors to the state”.
