"Today your son came to meet you. Today we are not here to campaign, but we will tell you one thing: We brought them and we will sack them. Soon, they will come. Ask them what they have done for you. For the past 7 years after our son brought them, they refuse to give you jobs, saying that Essien Udim's time has passed.

Now, they are talking about continuity, when they tell you that again, ask them to show you where they have built one kilometer of road. They are using cane to flog you, now they are trying to bring scorpion. God will not allow them", Sir. Emem Akpabio, addressing Essien Udim people during the YPP ward to ward rally.
