You Fhoools should keep spreading useless propaganda to deceive gullible ones. Campaign is paralyzed according to you but PDP Campaign is ongoing live in Maiduguri now.
Who is this one talking trash is this not the same Atiku that Obi was his running mate in 2019 Mercy Chinwo did nothing wrong here. So you urchins can go and hug transformer
Righthussle: Mercy avoid Atiku and Tinubu if you still want us to listen to your music. These old men don't listen or promote your music. They need to go and rest. They are too old to lead.
I AM NOT IGBO.
Na last warning be this.

Hunchogee: BILLIONS 'BURIED' BY GOVERNOR UDOM EMMANUEL
By Osondu Ahirika
I'm profoundly sorry I can't easily trace and cite the source of the eulogy I'm going to replicate in this essay. It was a kind commendation to His Excellency, Governor Udom Emmanuel from a repentant critic who shifted from his cyncal view of the governor to a more moderate evaluation when reality stared him on the face. Unedited, he wrote on his Facebook page in part, the following declarations:
"You have your shortcomings, your Excellency (who doesn't have?), but the fact remains that you will be leaving our State better than you met it. I am happy that when one considers the number of buildings that were demolished on Oron/Airport road alone, and the buildings that were demolished at the Eket-Etinan, Uyo-Etinan and Etinan-Ndon Eyo roads and the huge outlays on compensation payments before the construction of the roads, one just has to commend your efforts.
Even your fiercest critics will smile when driving on the eye-catching 8 lanes Ring Road three or when flying Ibom Air. People can say what they like (as no leader can ever be loved by all, and no leader can please all), but our joy is that when they say "Udom Emmanuel has done nothing," we, your fans, will point to so many projects that you have initiated and completed in your tenure.
And your tenure will end in ten months hence, not today. There is enough time to complete a lot more. I am praying fervently that God will guide you, and help you to complete most of your projects before leaving office next year. May you land well, your Excellency!"
I'm particularly interested in the second paragraph of the lifted quote above. It explains justifiably why people like us insist Governor Udom Emmanuel has performed exceedingly well. Many times when I hear people ask, "what is on ground to show for the huge allocations to Akwa Ibom State?", I have a hearty laugh at what ignorance can do.
Truth is, the billions this Government led by Governor Udom Emmanuel has buried underneath the earth and ghosted away in compensations is humongous and since its value cannot be physically seen or touched, nobody will remember. Indeed , with billions buried underground, nobody recalls the terrible flood problem at Nsikak Eduok by Edet Akpan Avenue intersection which troubled residents for years. The multi million naira construction of 1.5km Nsikak Eduok - Tropicana Outfall Drain which is a wholly underground drainage through Akwa Efak , across Udo Udoma Avenue all the way to Afaha Ikot Nkan behind the Ibom Tropicana has disappeared from memory. The flood gone, the drainage underground. We have forgotten how it was.
The intervention in Gully erosion at Etim Umana and St. Luke’s Hospital Anua in collaboration with World Bank Assisted Nigeria Erosion and Watershed Management Project (NEWMAP), no longer comes to mind. How will we recall or factor the collosal sums spent on this when it went mostly into the underground the concrete drains?
The same way we have forgotten the Ntak Inyang gridlock eased by Governor Emmanuel’s intervention. Recall that the Ntak Inyang axis of the Calabar-Itu road failed completely with a gully erosion breaking the dualized road in twain.
Commuters had a troubling experience as the road was completely impassable. The State Government had invested resources in providing a sustainable underground erosion infrastructure capable of channeling the threatening water to a safe exit. Done with handling the erosion, the reconstructed road was put back to use. Again, the money guzzling project took the huge investment down the drain. The people have short memory and we have moved on.
Then to what my unknown source wrote above. Have we considered the billions paid out as compensations to owners of property demolished to make way for the dualization of the 25.0km Uyo – Ikot Ekpene Road which he inerited from the previous administration? The compensation stretches to property demolished along the dualization of 20.0km Uyo – Etinan Road (Ikot Oku Ikono), the dualization of the 14.5km Uyo/Airport Junction – Okopedi Okobo Road, the dualization of 9.5km Ring Road III in Aka Nung Udoe Road and the 29 kilometres dualized (four lanes by width) Etinan-Ndon Eyo road. All these are built by Governor Udom Emmanuel o!
The Etinan-Ndon Eyo road t is currently the longest dual carriage road in Akwa Ibom State and its features include two Cable-stayed bridges at Ekpene Ukpa in Etinan and another one at Ikot Akpan in Onna, three roundabouts, streetlights across its entire length, standard median, and drainages on both sides. It's a very wide road, and each lane can accommodate four cars on its horizontal width. The compensation sums which runs into billions have gone with the wind. We see the beautiful world class infrastructure. Nobody remembers the component cost of compensations alone. The huge compensations paid for the dualization of the 19.5 kilometres Eket- Ibeno Road dualization project and the Etinan- Eket dual carriage way road project have all been waved goodbye. We don't just remember.
Have you been to Eket LGA recently? No? Visit Eket and you will see how Governor Udom Emmanuel has spent money due to the ongoing massive remodeling work within the city and its environs. Commencing from the large circus at the heart of Eket with massive underground drainage, to the Eket/Etinan Road project and to the reconstruction of the gigantic 2nd largest stadium in the State also located also in Eket, you will marvel at the huge investment sunk into Eket remodeling project. Again, hundreds of millions was poured into the underground drainage system and for compensation of demolished property that gave way for the remodelling. We won't easily remember that.
For this piece, let me end with the 9 kilometres IBB Flood Control Project which cuts across 17 communities in 3 Local Government Areas. The project which is executed by the Akwa Ibom State government in conjunction with World Bank will be inaugurated soon
The project which has been completed has completely eradicated every form of flooding in Uyo metropolis and it's environs which engrossed the State capital for almost 30 years since her creation. We enjoy the welcome relief this new dawn has brought. The problem is, the billions went underground and in compensations for property demolished in the right of way. We will soon forget this too.
Yet it's this same Atiku that Peter Obi run under as VP just a few years ago. I guess Atiku was a Saint then but not now if I may ask you, what has really changed with Atiku of 2019 which Peter Obi run under as VP, and Atiku of 2022
Your comments are preposterous and absurd except you tell me what has changed about Atiku of 2019 and Atiku of 2022
Felixamos: I'm against all forms of bullying and it's on that basis that I condemn this attack..
However I would urge this youths that go about posting posters of the well known thief and criminal called Atiku and the other man who can't say good morning without reading from a script, to find time to study the second verse of our National anthem.. It started with a prayer for the youths:
Oh God of Creation, Direct our noble cause, Guide our leaders right, Help our youths the truth to know Emphasis on the bolded..
I find it rather disgusting how youths with functioning nervous system, would be campaigning for politicians who had looted so much from Nigeria, to come back and loot some more..
Odewaleadesoye: It is with a heavy heart to announce to the public that the Lord Bishop of The Diocese of Lagos and the Archbishop of Lagos Province; The Most Rev. Humphrey Bamisebi Olumakaiye (Phd) has passed on to glory.
A twitter user also confirmed the Bishop's death. See his tweet below:
You forgot to add the one at Gen. Edet Akpan Avenue in Uyo.
AlhajiUmani: UDOM EMMANUEL: REVAMPING ELECTRICITY FOR ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY
Uninterrupted power supply is as essential as life itself. Adequate electricity supply stimulates economic activities in any society because virtually every economic growth is tied to it.
Today, life without electricity is almost impossible. Life has become so modern and so mechanical that even for all small things in daily life, we need electricity. The television, radio, heater and all our demostic appliances are running only by electric power. Not just these, electricity is used in various areas of human activities such as Economic activities.
Many economic activities of human revolves around the use of electricity. For example, in the food processing and packaging sector, most of the machenaries are powered by electricity. Computers that have become essential tool of business transactions run on electricity. Perishable goods are preserved by being refrigerated through electricity powered refrigirators.
Having understood all of these and the significance of effective power supply in the stability of an economy, the Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Mr. Udom Emmanuel, upon his assumption of office on May 20th, 2019 declared a state of emergency on the State's power sector.
Before now, the State had witnessed a low power supply and in about 75% communities, there was entirely a zero power supply overtime. In these areas, experiencing a 30 minutes power supply in every six months was like the coming of the son of God, Jesus Christ. This had gone a long way in crippling the chances of industries being cited in these areas, and in other way round, had negative pacrs on the economy of the areas.
Having known that electricity plays important role from production to distribution of goods as well as in social activities, the State Governor moved in, consolidating his industrialization strides with revamping of the electricity in the State. This he has achieved by building mega sub-stations across the State.
One of these power sub-stations constructed by the Governor is the Power Sub-station at the Victor Attah International Airport. This is part of the governor's efforts towards improving power supply at the airport and its environs. It is the first time the airport has been connected to national grid since it commenced flight operations in September 2009. Today, parts of Nsit Atai, Uruan and Okobo are enjoying the steady power supply from this particular sub-station.
The construction of the 2x60MVA, 132/33KV Power Sub-station at Ekim, Mkpat Enin is one of the most sophisticated power substations in Nigeria and supplies electricity to five Local Government Areas in the state.
With this alongside the good road network and tight security that the Governor has put in place in the state, one would not be found wanting on the reason why not fewer than 20 functional industries are currently operating in the State.
In addition, small scale firms which were gradually going into extinction due to poor or unavailability of power supply overtime, have been revived through steady power supply.
Again, the construction of the Etoi and 1x60MVA,132/33KV Afaha Ube Transmission sub-stations in Uyo Local Government Area alongside other sub-stations would not only provide light for these areas, but also to their neighbouring communities. With these the "POWER SUPPLY FOR ALL BY 2021" initiative of the Governor is possible. What this means is that even when the State is currently having challenges of not being allowed to own her Power Distribution Company which would utilize the full potentials of the State owned Power Plant thereby making 24/7 power supply across homes, the governor is devising means to actualise this dream before the end of 2021.
When Mr. Udom Emmanuel stated that he was going to revamp the State's economy to be better than that of Lagos State in the near days, he meant it. One of the ways this dream could be achieved is through effective power supply.
