In keeping with the spirit of Christmas, the Personal Assistant to Governor Udom Emmanuel on Transport, Deacon Udo Jonathan Ekwere on Friday at his country home, Efa presented gifts to his kinsmen at Southern Iman Ward 3 in Etinan local government area.

There was enough to eat, drink and take home as bags of rice were given out to the people from the six villages of Southern Iman ward 3.

Addressing the people, Deacon Udo Ekwere said in the spirit of Christmas, he decided to come home and share with his people the good deeds of Governor Udom Emmanuel since the governor cannot come to Efa or Southern Iman ward 3 as a whole to share with the people this season.

"As it is commonly said merry Christmas so we are here at home to merry with our people. We bring home the good news of what our dear governor is doing in the state to our people at the grassroots. Of course our people have seen, touched and felt government through the many developmental projects in our communities"

He urged the people to continue in their unflinching support for the administration of Governor Udom Emmanuel in the state and the People's Democratic Party saying both the Party and the government is led by successful sons of Iman Ibom. "If we don't support our own sons who shall we support? "he queried.

Also speaking, Deaconess Mercy Udo Ekwere thanked the women for standing firm with her husband to win votes for the PDP during the just concluded local government elections and assured them that with their support, more dividends of democracy will come to the women and people of southern Iman ward three.

Responding, Hon Imo Asangausung thanked the governor's aide for always identifying with the people not only at Christmas but always as he keeps his doors open to the people. He urged the people to stand by their son by supporting Governor Udom Emmanuel and the PDP as the nation approaches 2019 general elections.
He also prayed God for more blessings upon the family of Deacon Udo Ekwere especially the wife who has remained a pillar of support to the husband.

In a chat with newsmen, a member of the community Mr. Anietie Johnson said since his appointment as an aide to the governor, Efa and the entire southern Iman ward 3 now feel the government in a way that will not be forgotten in years to come. According to him, until his appointment in 2015, the ward never experienced anything like what we see here today. "May God bless and keep him for having the people of this community at heart"
