Press Statement on the Violence Resulting in the Death of Rt. (Hon.) Okon Uwah
PRESS STATEMENT ON THE VIOLENCE RESULTING IN THE DEATH OF RT. (HON.) OKON UWAH, FORMER DEPUTY SPEAKER OF AKWA IBOM STATE HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY IN UKANAFUN LGA OF AKWA IBOM STATE ON WEDNESDAY, 18TH MARCH, 2015

Gentlemen of the Press

The Executive Governor of Akwa Ibom State, His Excellency, Chief Dr. Godswill Akpabio CON, has learnt about the unfortunate incident that led to the death of Rt. (Hon.) Okon Uwah, a former Peoples Democratic Party stalwart, and a one-time Deputy Speaker of the Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly, who until his demise, was an APC Candidate for the Ukanafun State Constituency in the forth-coming General Elections.

His Excellency, the Governor and indeed the State Government condemn in its entirety the dastardly, strange and cowardly occurrence. Government regrets that, inspite of the accord on peaceful and violence-free elections signed by political parties in the State; some miscreants have decided to trample upon the law. It bears stressing that, no person’s political ambition is worth the blood of any citizen.

It is however to be noted that following the express directive of the Executive Governor, the security agencies had since swung into action and some arrests have so far been made. Besides, His Excellency has further directed that a full-scale probe into the event of Rt. (Hon.) Okon Uwah’s death be carried out to ensure that the perpetrators are brought to book, no matter their political leanings.

The Governor hereby warns that, violence and political thuggery of any kind will not be tolerated and accordingly reassures citizens of the preparedness of the State Government and indeed security agencies to maintain law and order and protect the lives of citizens as well as ensure a peaceful and orderly conduct of the 2015 General Elections in Akwa Ibom State.

His Excellency, Governor Akpabio commiserates with the bereaved family and assures them that the security agencies will unravel the cause of the tragedy and bring the culprits before the law.

Are U alright? No be Buhari dem dey imitate? Can a lion give birth to dog? Wat makes U think buhari isn't sharing money wen he's campaigning? He doesn't need to do it personally. They, these APCs shd be careful wat they do in their closets. Sometimes these monies aren't ordinary with sooooo much enchantments and incantations that might have been done in d secrets. GOD ISN'T DEAD. He'll vindicate Nigeria. God bless Nigeria my beloveth country!

Guy those guys can kill anybody from any political party. They are assasins, but it's just dat it happened in a pdp control area so dat is why every accusing finger is on pdp. It was not a rally as de public is made to understand. They just invited him to his inlaw's place for negotiation not knowing death was lurking in wait for him. Upon all de plea n promises de late house member pleaded they (killers) were adamant. He even promise 2 go and bring dem 5m since they said he did not settle dem when he was council chairman n house member but thier plan was total elimination.

hmmmmmm......high blood pressure must have caused it.

APC Press Statement on the assassination of Rt. Hon Okon Uwah The All Progressives Congress (APC), Akwa Ibom State Chapter, has received with rude shock the news of the assassination of Rt. Hon. Okon Joseph Uwah, APC candidate for Ukanafun State Constituency in the April 11 elections, and a member of the Campaign Council of the Party. Hon. Uwah was assassinated yesterday by thugs of the Peoples Democratic Party in Nkek village during a unit tour of his constituency in Ukanafun Local Government Area. The Party condemns the assassination of Rt. Hon. Okon Uwah in the strongest possible terms and calls on the relevant authorities, including the Police and the Directorate of State Security to apprehend and bring his murderers to justice. The Party notes with the deepest concern that the foundation for Uwah’s assassination was laid at a PDP rally in Oruk Anam in February this year when Hon. Emmanuel Ukoette, PDP member representing Ukanafun/Oruk Anam Federal Constituency, on live television called on PDP supporters to kill whoever opposes the party in the state. Ukoette, who is seeking re-election, made this inciting statement in the presence of Governor Godswill Akpabio, who clearly endorsed it. Emmanuel Ukoette without doubt took a cue from Governor Akpabio who had said on live television also last year that those who want to get power without his approval will die. Those who carried out the assassination yesterday, led by Hon. Effiom Abai, Ukoette’s campaign coordinator and current vice chairman of Ukanafun Local Government Area, must have done so spurred on by the inciting statements made by PDP leaders in the state, including Governor Godswill Akpabio. It would be called that Uwem Ita Etuk, Akpabio’s current commissioner for local government and chieftaincy affairs expressly said on tape that APC supporters who come out to campaign and vote for the party would be killed and maimed.
We want it to the noted that Hon. Effiom Abai who the led the murdering squad that assassinated Rt. Hon Uwah is an aide to Prince Akpabio who nominated him for the position of vice chairman of Ukanafun. Capt Iniobong Ekong, special assistant to the governor on security and Hon. Enobong Uwah, commissioner for environment, have also issued a threat to kill APC supporters in Nsit Ubium, including the APC governorship candidate in the state and members of his family.
Eye witnesses to the assassination of Rt. Hon. Uwah said the killers invaded the venue of the meeting which Uwah was attending, bearing Hon. Emmanuel Ukoette’s posters and hailing him as their master. They reportedly shouted that Hon Uwah was going to pay for daring to oppose their master before setting upon the man and beating him to death. The APC has petitioned the International Criminal Court on the roles played by Governor Akpabio, Hon. Emmanuel Ukoette, Prince Akpabio, Uwem Ita Etuk, Capt Iniobong Ekong, Enobong Uwah and Hon. Abai on the assassination of Rt. Hon. Okon Uwah. The Party wants these PDP chieftains to face justice over Uwah’s assassination, which is the latest in a long string of politically motivated killings since this administration came into office in 2007. They should be held responsible for the assassination of Rt. Hon. Uwah and any future politically motivated violence in the state. We would like to alert the Court to the foundation which the PDP leaders in the state have laid for unleashing violence and bloodshed during the elections. Akpabio is clearly making good his threat that those who oppose him will die. As a mark of honour for late Hon. Uwah, the governorship campaign rally of the Party earlier scheduled to take place in Ini Local Government Area today has been cancelled. Hon Okon Uwah was the Deputy Speaker of the Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly between 2007 and 2011 and Chairman of Ukanafun Local Government Area from 2005 to 2007. Rt. Hon Uwah held sociology and law degrees of University of Cross River State (University of Uyo) and Master’s degree in Business Administration from Ambrose Ali University. Before his illustrious career in politics, Rt. Hon Uwah worked as a banker with Citibank, Lagos. Born into a royal family at Antia Afaha Obo in Ukanafun Local Government Area 51 years ago, Uwah was married with three children. Signed:

This news was on frontpage yesterday and the police chief even confirmed that the man was killed. I guess they've had their usual meeting and then decided to come and lie to Nigerians as usual since they know that a lot of us are gullible. The NPF is a disgrace and so is the government of this country.

How I wish I can lay my hand on this OP, the kind slap that I would woooze u, computer wunt be able to count. Who paid you to spread this false news? Obong Okon Uwah didn't slump and die, fellow nairtalanders the APC candidate was killed by PDP thugs, offcourse Akwa Ibomites alreeady knows the brain behind his dead. They knew he can't be defeated in the pools so they had to kill him. While I say RIP to the dead, I pray God to fight for the souls of the innocents. Meanwhile please join me to plead with Akwa Ibom State Government to release ODUDU UKPANAH.

This is cock and bull story. Very stupid reportage. AKPABIO KILLED UWAH. Akpabio killed Ononokpono and Oyong in Oron,killed Paul Inyang and the Ukpabio brothers,killed Albert Ukpanah and now he has killed Uwah just to ensure votes are not broken in Ikot Ekpene Sen. District.
Read below:

The All Progressives Congress in Akwa Ibom state on Thursday listed Governor Godswill Akpabio as one of those responsible for the assassination of its Ukanafun state constituency flag-bearer, Okon Uwah.

Others whom the party claims to have hands in the killing of the former Deputy Speaker of the state legislature are Peoples Democratic Party chieftains who have in the past been named among top cultists serving in the Akpabio administration and whom the governor is said to have used at various points to unleash mayhem on his perceived political opponents.

The party in a press statement listed a serving commissioner for Environment, Enobong Uwah, said to be of the Vikings cult, and Prince Ukpong Akpabio, Governor Akpabio’s billionaire cousin and alleged chieftain of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK), as those who must “face justice over Uwah’s assassination.”

Other alleged deadly cultists whom the opposition party wants prosecuted are Uwem Ita Etuk whom multiple reliable sources say is a cultist of the KKK group, and a House of reps member, Emmanuel Ukoette alleged to be a Viking as Commissioner Uwah. The other, a serving Vice Chairman of Ukanafun and an alleged member of Viking, is Mr Effiom Abai. The APC says Abai “led the murdering squad that assassinated Rt. Hon. Uwah”

In a press briefing on Thursday, the APC disclosed that it has since petitioned the International Criminal Court “on the roles played by Governor Akpabio, Hon. Emmanuel Ukoette, Prince Akpabio, Uwem Ita Etuk, Capt Iniobong Ekong, Enobong Uwah and Hon. Abai on the assassination of Rt. Hon. Okon Uwah.”
