A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Akwa Ibom state, Mr Paulo Akaiso has faulted the claim by Senator Godswill Akpabio that he single-handedly installed Mr. Udom Emmanuel as the Governor of the state in 2015.
Akaiso stressed that the emergence of Emmanuel as governor was orchestrated by divine mandate and not by senator Akpabio.
He stated this in a press statement made available to journalists in Uyo, Akwa Ibom state, while reacting to claims by Senator Akpabio that Governor Udom Emmanuel could not have won councillorship election in his ward since he was not a registered PDP member.
Akaiso said Akpabio brought Udom by divine arrangement as the most qualified governor and by truth Udom defeated other contenders to cling the governorship position of the state.
While refuting that Udom has been a stooge, the PDP chieftain said that Udom’s emergence as governor has brought peace and development to all facets of the economy and that Akwa Ibom people are out to re-elect him for another term.
“There is nowhere Udom Emmanuel will not come out successful in the coming polls, because he has proven himself right in many facets, He has also proven that he is not a sectional governor, he has touched all parts of the state in his development program,” he said.
He specifically commended the Peoples Democratic Party-led government in the area of security stressing that the era of kidnapping where hoodlums entered into churches premises to kidnap and kill Akwa Ibom sons and daughters has stopped.
“Let me tell you that Udom Emmanuel administration has recorded great feat in the area of security comparing the state between 2011/2015, where kidnappers entered churches kidnapped and killed Akwa Ibom sons and daughters without molestation,” the PDP chieftain said.
