PRESS
RELEASE
The Senate Minority Leader and immediate
past Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Senator Godswill Akpabio has dissociated
himself, his office, staff and associates from a publication against Governor
Udom Emmanuel published on page 7 of The Nation newspaper of Thursday October
5, 2017 and some online platforms, with the title; "Why Akpabio's shoes
are too big for Governor Emmanuel."
Condemning the publication and those
behind it, Senator Akpabio in a release signed by his Special Assistant on
Media, Anietie Ekong, said there was no basis to compare the eight years of his
administration to that of Governor Udom Emmanuel who has barely served two
years in office so far.
Senator Akpabio is confident that
Governor Emmanuel will definitely leave Akwa Ibom State better than he met it
by the time he completes his eight years in office.
Senator Akpabio commended Governor
Emmanuel for keeping his electioneering campaign promises to Akwa Ibom people
particularly in the area of industrialization. He expressed happiness with the
strides so far recorded by the Udom Emmanuel administration particularly the
recently commissioned electric metering and syringe factories by the Vice
President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo.
The former Governor and Senate Minority
Leader cautioned mischief makers not to use his name in attempting to create
bad blood in his relationship with his successor. He believes that Governor
Udom Emmanuel possesses the capacity to improve on the Uncommon Transformation
witnessed during his tenure between 2007 and 2015 and has so far demonstrated
same.
