It is a cardinal sin to use leadership positions to play on the intelligence of the people. I mean the very people that one is representing. But very satanic when the very people can't see clearly the one deceiving them. Some have heard several times, and have seen, but still follow such a person. This is not only satanic, but the height of illiteracy.

I have over the months tried to figure out the rationale behind the decision of Nsima Ekere, MD of NDDC to contest for the state governorship, when he is in charge of well over nine states, with billions of naira accrued to that office.

Someone should help me ask Nsima Ekere what he is looking for in one state when he has nine states to look after. If not greed, what else? If not poor sense of judgment, what else? If not an attempt to defraud the state, what else?

Even in his present position, cases of fake contract papers abound. Issues bordering on debt owed contractors and other fraudulent practices are consistent with his administration.

Apart from this, projects claimed to be handled by the NDDC under Nsima's watch are adjudged substandard, and some abandoned halfway.

Will this not be the same way our state would be handled under his watch, if the mistake is made? God forbid. Akwa Ibom can never make such expensive mistake of voting him into power.

It is also alleged that the delegates list used during the APC primaries was altered by Nsima Ekere despite the agreement reached before the said primaries by other aspirants.

In fact, he is not trustworthy. He lies about almost everything. He plays politics with lives, projects and governance. This is not what Akwa Ibom people want.

In 2019, the task before Akwa Ibom people will be to choose between light and darkness, truth and falsehood, sincerity and lies.

We will choose between a man that wants to defraud us and one that wants to transform the state. We will choose between a man that controls billions of naira and bluntly refuses to execute any project in his state of origin, and one who controls a meager amount of money but execute projects everywhere in the state. We will choose between justice and injustice.

No one should believe Nsima Ekere, for if a man is faithful in a little, he will be faithful in many. He is only out to take the state backward.

We will resist by all means every attempt to take us back to Egypt.

We need Udom Emmanuel, a man who is both focused and accountable to take us to our rightful position, as a people.

Say no to Nsima Ekere and his fraud agenda.
