Akwa Ibom Youth Convention
as a youth event have been organized for four years consistently without issues
and this has made the event a brand amongst Akwa Ibomites just because we
operate in a very civilized manner. Akwa Ibom youths from all over the world
are proud of this great brand.
As a result of this, eminent
personalities in Akwa Ibom State have identified with us just because they have
seen this organisation as an organised one. Several youths in our state pleaded
that we should stage the event in Akwa Ibom. The Board of Trustees decided to
bring it down and the former Coordinator in Akwa Ibom Allen Effeh pleaded to
come into the picture immediately he was appointed some months ago. So we
decided to act according to the constitution of the organisation which
stipulates that the organisers of the event are the Board of Trustees.
We made it so because we
know how unruly and desperate some youths can be, so we decided to keep the
responsibility of organising the event with the board of trustees to avoid
distraction and to concentrate while preparing in advance to thwart the effort
of some individuals that will want to hijack the platform for their selfish
reasons.
In order to protect the aims
and objectives of the cherishes organisation from desperate and over ambitious
persons, we ensured all letters for the event came from the Board of
trustees to check mate and curtail the activities of all state coordinators.
Unknowing to the organisers of the event, the Akwa Ibom state Coordinator Mr.
Allen Effeh fraudulently printed his own letter head and approached politicians
to grace the event to come and speak to youths, but we cautioned him that this
is not a political event, rather a youth inspirational programme that we are
not interested in politics.
Ever since Allen has decided
to blackmail me just because we are trying to protect what we (Board of
trustees) suffered to build. He promised to destroy the organisation that he
just joined some months ago of which He knows God will never allow him. He has
failed already. Allen uses the name of the organisation to receive money from
unsuspected individuals in Akwa Ibom State and enrich himself. Accoding to the
Nsikak Tom Udo, Allen has a very poor mindset and he thinks money is everything
and it’s a shame on him that he has brought Ibom Youth Pathfinder to a great
disrepute and we have disassociated ourselves from him.
We have a fine gentle man as
our coordinator in Akwa Ibom State(John Ekpo).We are not a political
organisation and will never be. The event is meant to celebrate and inspire
Akwa Ibom youths. Allen does not know what it takes to build a cherished
organisation and a brand from scratch that’s why he want to ensure the brand
name is destroyed because he is no more a part of it as a result of his
atrocities.
He will never succeed with
his lies.Allen has reasons for embarking on this failed mission of blackmail.
UYO 2014 was highly successful and youths were excited seeing a fine young man
(Nsikak Tom) with creative ideas like Akwa Ibom Youth Convention. The Chairman
Board of trustees Ibom Youth Pathfinder is a fine gentle man, hard working and
does not believe in dispute. According to one of the member of Ibom Youth
Pathfinder, Nsikak Tom Udo is viewing this as a price to pay for contributing
enormously to the development of Akwa Ibom youths and will never relent in
ensuring our youths see light and not darkness. Yes we can! Akwa Ibom
Youth Convention Lives on! Thank You and remain blessed.
