The Akwa Ibom state government has distanced itself from a comment attributed to an Aide of Governor Udom Emmanuel, Mr Essien Ndueso.

Ndueso stated on his social media page that Under Buhari's administration, 'Cows fare better than human beings'. Below is a statement signed by the Chief Press Secretary/Senior Special Assistant (Media) to the Governor, Ekerette Udoh, dissociating the state government from Ndueso's act.

"Our attention has been drawn to the story with the above caption that appeared in The Premium Times dated December 14, 2017, and written by Cletus Ukong. In the said story, Mr. Essien Ndueso who is a Personal Assistant to His Excellency, Governor Udom Emmanuel on Media was quoted to have posted on his Facebook Wall, that today “we are in an administration that cows fare better than human beings”- an ill-conceived and obtuse comment on the recent visit by His Excellency, President Muhammadu Buhari(GCON) to his farm in Daura, Katsina State.

We wish to use this opportunity to state categorically that the comment expressed by Mr. Essien Ndueso does not represent in any form, shape, manner or appearance the views of the Government and the good people of Akwa Ibom State. The comments attributed to Mr. Nduesotherefore, are his PERSONAL opinion. Even though the nation is going through tough and challenging economic times, we believe and trust the resilience of Nigerians, our ingenuity and innate capacity to reinvent the wheels, and together, in spite of our political differences, we remain inexorably tied to our common destiny which requires all hands on the deck to move our dear nation forward. We hereby, totally and unreservedly disassociate ourselves from the referenced comment.

The Governor and indeed the entire Government of Akwa Ibom State hold President Buhari who indeed is the Father of the Nation in the highest of esteem, and the two Leaders enjoy close and cordial relationship that goes beyond political labels and afflictions."

[b][/b]Even though the nation is going through tough and challenging economic times, we believe and trust the resilience of Nigerians

I do not understand the above,
You trust Nigerians to be used to hunger and poverty or suicide or what?
When will you guys stop trusting our resilience to challenging times,and start making statements like "we know we have reduced poverty to a single digit and we are ready to do more."
Person go enter Nigeria if you do not know anyone or have special grace,na suffer from start to finish.
Rubbish,you people should continue......

Useless governor, even if I support you

Even though the nation is going through tough and challenging economic times, we believe and trust the resilience of Nigerians

Fear fear governor.
Gradually morphing into Samuel Ortom, the spineless governor of Benue.
Fayose would have stood his ground no shaking.

Buhari is GCFR, not GCON.

Mhmm, this Buhari cows is becoming an international issue. No wonder they refused to either die or give birth and Bubu also refused to slaughter or sell any of them. . They neither decrease nor increase since 1983 to date they're still 150 ONLY in number as if they were already aware that dozens of years to come, Nigerians will put eyez on them

Yes... Because the lives of cows matter more than the lives of we nigerians

isoright

But....na true Na,Cows dey fare better in his farm in Daura.

Even though the nation is going through tough and challenging economic times. Nonsense! what is the difference between what Mr. PA said and the position of the state government as highlighted above. Nigerians are suffering and obviously Cows are faring better. You people should stop this act of cowardice and let the dullard know that we are not smiling. Enough of this nonsense.

I salute the Governor's aide for speaking the truth and nothing but the truth!


If the statement is true click LIKE, If the statement is False click SHARE

He distances himself from such statement because of his 2nd term ambition,..Generally, that is the view of the Akwa-ibom people

What do you expect when a herdsman is your president? Not just a herdsman, but terrorist.

The aide don get aids be dat, as him work don finish

Southerners can fear sha

Guy no get liver like dat Bastard wey dey Ekiti State

under buhari no pdp governor was impeach

Dude is afraid of a curruption case littering the net

sai Cow

In a state where the only way to survive is by being a SYCOPHANT, and asslicking, such straight talk is considered outrageous.

Even the governor had to openly disclaim it and reaffirm his loyalty to the Fulani overlord. How I wish we had men like Fayose in Akwa Ibom

The young man just lost his job

Fear Fear Governors. That is why I still have some respect for Northerners and their governors/ leaders. They say it as it is.

I thought PDP is in opposition..

You will hear am for this you have said and done.

Fear fear Governor

Barawo bubu has never been a good manager of economic and business things.
Even Ebola Owu knows that, yet he joined Asiwaju Asiwere national leader of their All Poverty Congress, APC to impose the expired leader on us.

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo says President Muhammadu Buhari may not do well in economy and foreign affairs, except in military matters.

“Buhari is not a very hot person on the economy and foreign affairs,” Obasanjo said.

The former President stated this on Monday at the third International Conference on African Development Issues — themed, “Driving inclusive and sustainable development in Africa: Models, methods and policies” — organised by Covenant University, Ota, Ogun State.

While reacting to a question posed to him by a member of the audience: “Is there any hope for Nigeria under the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari?”, Obasanjo replied, “Is there any hope for Nigeria under this administration? I came back from Geneva, Switzerland a few days ago to attend a conference titled, ‘Are elections giving democracy a bad name?’ We had an election, we elected a leader and the good thing about democracy is that the power you have to elect a leader is also the power you have to remove him. I am saying this because I said earlier that if you don’t see any leader that has done well in the 56 years of Nigeria’s independence, then let us forget about Nigeria.

“I will tell you what I know and I will tell you what I don’t know. I know Gen. Muhammadu Buhari. He served under me in the military. His characteristics that I know, his behaviour that I know, he has not deviated from them. He was never a perfect man, he is not a perfect man and no leader can ever be a perfect man because they are human beings. But if you read my book, what I said about him is correct. He is not a hot person when it comes to economy. He is not a very hot person when it comes to foreign affairs. But he will do well in matters of military and he will do well in fighting Boko Haram.”

The former president also said he tried his best in fighting corruption, especially in the recovery of funds looted by the late Gen. Sani Abacha and that as of the time he left the government, about $1bn was still to be recovered.

Obasanjo said, “For me, we have no hope if we have no future. I am an optimist as far as Nigeria is concerned. If somebody doesn’t get it all right for now, we will get somebody who will come up and fix whatever is missing. The administration before this had no clue on how to deal with Boko Haram, there is no doubt about that.

“You may not like the way he (Buhari) is fighting corruption. I fought corruption. We recovered over $1.25bn from Abacha and his men. We didn’t make noise. Also, we recovered £100m and about N30m and those who were helping us, the lawyers and the rest said there was still at least $1bn to be recovered at that time. I put it in my handover notes. But rather than encourage scrupulous persons, we had another spate of corruption.”

Obasanjo added that fighting corruption would not be effective if it did not translate to better life for the citizens.

He said, “Fighting corruption is not a one-day or a one-regime affair. If where we left it, they continued, we would have gone far. For me, the questions are: Is corruption being fought? And if it is being fought, is it being effectively fought? Are we getting the desired results? And if we are getting the desired results, what impact is it having on our society and on our nation?”

Other speakers at the event included Nigeria’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Prof. Joy Ogwu, and the Associate Vice-President, Research, McMaster University, Canada, Prof. Bonny Ibhawoh.

They both said if Africa was to experience any development, leaders must match their words or policies with action.
