TheSonOfMark:
RENAMING OF THE NEW AKWA IBOM STATE INTERNATIONAL STADIUM.

Reports reaching me ,and from investigations I have made, indicates that the new international stadium is to be named after the state governor as GOD'SWILL AKPABIO INTERNATIONAL STADIUM.
Now here's the thing: Do you think it's morally or politically okay if a sitting executive public office holder decides to name public infrastructures after him or herself?
Do you think it sets a negative precedent for successive governors ? Or
Do you think this singular move by the incumbent has the tendency to heat up the polity or not?

I've been having animated debates about this with some folks in my hood and their views thus far have been diverging.
So, ladies and gentlemen, what's your take on the aforementioned issue? Looking forward to interacting with you all.

I don't support anyone naming Government thing to themselves (past heroes of the state should be honored).

1. Where is your source?
2. I am glad he built the facility.
3. I don't support anyone naming Government thing to themselves (past heroes of the state should be honored).
4. Finally, it is not of my business what it bears.

PapiWata:


When I am elected President At-Large of The Nigerian Federation, I will IMMEDIATELY rename the entire country after myself, with "istan" appended for phonetic completeness.

berem:
Let him go ahead and name the stadium in his honour. Who cares? The next governor of the state might change the name. So who loses?

egift:


Like PapiWatanistan

nigerianvenom:


go and ask ur okolo what he has done in owerri.
or maybe tell him to change okigwe round about to okolo round about

PapiWata:


That has a nice ring to it, but you will still need to pay cash for that application form, if you want to be considered as a prospect for Minister of Information to represent my administration on the global stage.

Enoquin:
While Akpabio has done something for Akwa ibom to the 'best of his ability', I think it would be going too far if he wants to re-name the stadium after himself except it is a 'in your face' taunt to the Ibibios especially the ones who haven't seen anything good in his administration.

I still feel he should rise above the pettiness though...history has his name as the governor who gave Akwa Ibom an international standard stadium.

Billyonaire:
Very wrong. He shouldnt even try it. I think he is just testing the waters.

TheSonOfMark:

Looking at the move from a socioeconomic perspective, it sure seems favourable to the development of the state but critically analyzing it, from a political and/or moral point of view that is, it sure seems ill-timed and a politically-risky maneuver.
The polity of the state is already heated up by the all-important governorship (primary) election in the offing. The governor himself has powerful adversaries and the aforementioned infrastructural renaming would only alienate him (and his 'godson') further by these bigwigs who have publicly opined that he, the governor, is bent on establishing a dynasty and this renaming and several others , obviously, seems to buttress their point.

Added to the above: peradventure the incoming governor isn't favourably disposed to the incumbent, he would most definitely relegate the maintenance of the stadium and other renamed infrastructures since it's been named after his adversary. If the afore-described scenario plays out then a lot of such public infrastructures are bound to suffer from the neglect.
