The LEADING 2015 PDP Governorship Aspirant
in Akwa Ibom State and the Immediate past
secretary to the Akwa Ibom state Government ,
Mr Udom Gabriel Emmanuel has refuted the
news item carried by the online and print media
that he called the first lady of Nigeria, Dame
Patience Jonathan “an enemy of Akwa Ibom
State”. Mr Udom has dismissed the story as a
tissue of lies, spurious blackmail and baseless
political propaganda waged against him by
some miscreants and blackmail agents who
intend to soil the excellent friendship the first
lady enjoys with the government and people of
Akwa Ibom State. Speaking to journalists in
Uyo, the former Zenith Bank Executive Director
said the news had no iota of truth in it. “My
attention was drawn to it and I wondered where
that story emanated from. It is not true and
cannot be true. The leadership and the good
people of Akwa Ibom State relate very well with
Mr President and the first lady in all
ramifications. That story should be
disregarded. You journalists also owe a duty to
the society to report only what is true in other
that your profession is taken seriously”.
Also reacting to the story, the Office
Administrator, UDOM/ACA Media Committee,
Mr Emmanuel Nicholas said the comment or
statement credited to Udom Emmanuel only
exists in the figment of the imagination of the
writers which Udom has no idea about the said
report.” Reading through the report can confirm
that there is no iota of truth whatsoever in the
said story. It is purely the handwork of
detractors who created the false reports against
Udom to paint him black and make him appear
as a bad person before the right thinking
members of the public”.
Nicholas said it is on record that Mr Udom
Emmanuel commended the peaceful conduct of
the exercise at his home ward, Awa Iman, in
Onna local government which he was very
contented and satisfied with the outcome of the
ward congress. He said there is no basis that
Udom could accuse the wife of the President
over delegate list because he knows that such
thing is strictly for the party. Everybody in Akwa
Ibom, Nigeria and the World knows Udom
Emmanuel as a decent and clean personality
who does not make careless statements, accuse
or insult people in the name of politics.
Mr Nicholas reiterated that Mr Udom Emmanuel
has strongly condemned the said report created
by those opposing his governorship ambition
that are desperate of causing disaffection
between him and the First Lady of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria, and further overheat the
polity by dragging the First Lady into the
useless and baseless report against Udom
Emmanuel.

“This blackmail is taken too far, the whole
world knows that Udom Emmanuel is a son to
the wife of the President who have enjoyed the
motherly love of the First Lady, Dame Patience
Jonathan over the years without any acrimony,
and not even politics that can make Udom
insult or accused the First Lady.
‘Udom Emmanuel is a nice gentleman who is
much known of being reserved in comments and
does not talk carelessly. This created story is
baseless and does not resemble the person or
character of Mr Udom Emmanuel. He has long
been working with President Jonathan before
he became secretary to state government which
the First Lady knew Udom and relate with him
long before now”.

Mr Nicholas added that it is based on this
excellent qualities embedded in Udom
Emmanuel that stood him out among all the
appointees of Governor Akpabio which the
governor is very pleased and confident in his
ability to lead the state. “Udom Emmanuel does
not have any idea what so every about the said
report, he could not have made such
irresponsible accusation or comment because
everybody knows him to be a very respectful
and responsible person, and has not granted
anybody interview concerning the ward
congress apart from expressing satisfaction on
the orderly conduct of the congress. Whoever
created the story to pull down this decent man
whom God has blessed with the right mentality,
leadership vision, and capacity to lead the
state should desist from such act and
remember that whatever evil anybody does, he
or she will certainly pay for it if not now but
later”. He said.
‘This is one in the series of many blackmails
and falsehood against Mr Udom Emmanuel, this
is a challenge to whoever originated the false
report to bring down Udom should publish the
voice record otherwise should immediately
retract the falsehood and apologize
unconditionally to Mr Udom Emmanuel and the
First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria for
the embarrassment the report have caused.
Mr Emmanuel Nicholas said the peace and
unity of the state was paramount and every
peace loving citizen should work towards that.
“As the 2015 governorship draws near, it is
undoubtedly the era of desperation, it is
important to avoid in which ever form the
politics that will destroy the continuous peace,
unity, and the synergy between the state and
the Federal government which Akwa Ibom is
currently enjoying.


‘Mr Udom Emmanuel is very confidence and
satisfied with the leadership of Mr President
and that of the National Chairman of the
People’s Democratic Party in delivering to all
Nigerians the right leadership they deserves”
Also in an interview with some of the people of
the state,thirteen out of fifteen people pledge
their Total support for udom.
