The member representing Uyo Senatorial District in the National Assembly has been warned by a group under the auspices of Eket Senatorial District Media Professionals in an attempt to put an end to what they described as persistent falsehood, blackmail, and inaccurate data presentation by the lawmaker and associates.

In a statement made available to nowupdateonline.com.ng and signed by the chairman of the forum, Mr Jeremiah Edoho, the group noted that the misguided, unfounded allegations, and disparaging remarks being hurled against the Akwa Ibom State Governor, His Excellency, Mr Udom Emmanuel, by the Senator representing Uyo Senatorial District, Senator Bassey Albert Akpan was received with great shock.




“We have observed with rude shock, the persistent falsehood, blackmail, inaccurate data presentation, misguided and unfounded allegations, and disparaging remarks being hurled against the Akwa Ibom State Governor, His Excellency, Mr Udom Emmanuel, by the Senator representing Uyo Senatorial District, Senator Bassey Albert Akpan. Writing under sundry fake names, nonexistent groups and published on the media by his Personal Assistant on Media, Anny Michaels, Senator Albert constantly misinforms the general public on political issues and governance, with malevolent intent of spiting and ridiculing the Governor before the people of the state.”

” It would have been ignored for lack of credibility, but it appears the industry of politics of insults and biles during election years seems to be assuming skyrocketing proportions, and it is most worrisome, coming from a Senator who has been a major beneficiary of the benevolence of the Government of Akwa Ibom State, for 16 uninterrupted years.”

” Allowing the general public to consume these tissues of lies without challenging its veracity, can lead to the generation of bad blood among the people, therefore creating unnecessary tension that will fight the peace preached and enjoyed across the state since the inception of the Udom Emmanuel led administration.”

“It is worthy to say with a point of emphasis that there is no democracy; even in saner climes that incumbents aren’t interested in who succeeds them”
Mr
“As we have clearly stated, OBA does not have any rationalisation to assume that it is the exclusive rights of his Federal Constituency, Itu/Ibiono, to produce a successor for Governor Emmanuel in 2023. It has been argued in several fora that zoning of Governorship seats began in 1999 under the Peoples Democratic Party leadership, therefore it remains inadmissible to construe that those who served as Governors for few months decades ago, and long before zoning became effective, should be added to the list of those who enjoyed zoning. Etinan Federal Constituency has never produced a Governor in this current dispensation since PDP came into existence in 1998. Neither can the 17 months that Akpan Isemin ruled under NRC from 1992-1993, be classified as a tenure by any justifiable indices. Should this be the case, then how about considering late Navy Captain Edet Akpan Archibong of Itu/Ibiono Federal Constituency, who was Governor of old Cross River State in 1984?”
