AILM condemns APC’s statement against Gov Udom’s performance
Akwa Ibom Liberation Movement, AILM, a foremost sociopolitical group in Akwa Ibom State has condemned the statement accredited to All Progressives Congress, APC, questioning the performance of Governor Udom Emmanuel within his first 100/days since reelection.
In a media briefing, organized by the group’s Secretary General, Solomon Abasiekong Esq., the action of APC was described as ignorant and mischievous.
Abasiekong maintained that soon after his re-election, His Excellency, Governor Udom Emmanuel, went back to his job to ensure that Akwa Ibom is transformed into an industrialized State, where every employable adult is productively engaged either directly as an employee in new industries springing up every day or indirectly as a service providers and business owners.
He continued that “even an ignorant member of the opposition All Progressives Congress, APC, in the State, questions the sanity of the party Publicity Secretary, Mr. Nkereuwem Enyongekere, who suddenly got a brain wave, few days ago, to doodle hogwash about the performance of Governor Udom Emmanuel in the first hundred days of his second term.
He stated that “election has since been concluded and winners announced. Now is time for governance, which obviously Mr. Enyongekere and the leadership of his broom carrying party fail to understand.
“As a group, concerned with the development of the State, we at Akwa Ibom Liberation Movement would have loved to see the APC first complete the Calabar – Itu Road, which it made so much noise about during the presidential election campaigns, before rising to comment on issues of development in the State. Perhaps, that is too much to do, then let the party undertake atleast one people oriented project or program to show that it is sincere about improving lives of Nigerians living in the State”.
According to him, although celebrating the first hundred days of any public office holder are not constitutionally instituted for public officers to show their achievements or give account of their stewardship to his critics, right from the first day after his re-election, Governor Udom Emmanuel, hit the ground running.
