If that be the case,he should have travelled down to Ghana or Liberia becouse there are equally Akwa-Ibom Indigene dere as well.





But in a swift reaction, the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Mr. Ekerette Udoh, who is also in the US, said Emmanuel was not only the governor of those that reside in Akwa Ibom State but a governor of the Akwa Ibom people, irrespective of where they live.

Dotng:
Akpabio unhappy with A’Ibom gov over US trip
The immediate past governor of Akwa Ibom State, Senator Godswill Akpabio, is not happy with the state governor, Mr. Udom Emmanuel, for attending a summer convention in the United States organised by Akwa Ibom Indigenes abroad.

A former aide of Akpabio , who does not want to be named, told our correspondent in Uyo, on Tuesday, that the former governor had advised Emmanuel not to embark on the journey because the trip was unnecessary, considering the cost it involved.

He maintained that Akpabio had asked Emmanuel to avoid spending money on things that would not generate revenue for the state, but should focus on attracting investors into the state.

According to him, since Emmanuel had assumed office as Akwa Ibom State governor, the Akwa Ibom people have not felt the impact of his administration.

He noted that since Emmanuel took over from Akpabio as governor 66 days ago, the state has not witnessed any significant progress.

He revealed that Emmanuel left Akwa Ibom with a delegation of over 60 persons. They would spend two weeks in the US.

He added that Akpabio considered the trip unnecessary. He said it would not add value to Akwa Ibom people at home.

The convener, Coalition of Human Rights Defenders, Akwa Ibom State chapter, Mr. Inibehe Effiong, said Emmanuel learnt his wasteful attitude from Akpabio. He added that few weeks ago, Emmanuel was spotted at the Ibom International Airport on a chartered jet.

He said, “I can tell you, Emmanuel is very wasteful. The other day, he was seen at the Ibom International Airport on a chartered flight. Why has the governor chosen to go on a chartered flight when the economy of the country is wobbling? This does not make sense.

“He (Emmanuel) learnt his wasteful attitude from his master, Senator Godswill Akpabio. The trip is a way of siphoning money from the state; it is purely based on self-interest. We hope the whole thing will soon be over. We don’t have a governor yet,” he said.

But in a swift reaction, the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Mr. Ekerette Udoh, who is also in the US, said Emmanuel was not only the governor of those that reside in Akwa Ibom State but a governor of the Akwa Ibom people, irrespective of where they live.

He stated that the summer convention was an important occasion as it attracted many governors from the country.

He noted that Emmanuel did not embark on the trip for selfish reasons, but to woo industrialists to the state.

He said, “The Akwa Ibom State governor is the governor of all Akwa Ibom people wherever they may be in the world. He has a right to tell them his programmes for the state.

“The summer convention is a very important occasion. Emmanuel is there to attract investors to the state. Many other governors in the Nigeria are also in the United States for the same reason.”

What is Akwa-Ibom ?

Akwa Ibom is a state in the South-south region of Nigeria. The state produces/generates the highest revenue to the Federal Government more than any other state in Nigeria. A quarter of the revenue from A/Ibom is more than enough to develop your state as well as feed the poverty-stricken indigenes there for 10 years. I blame your grand-father for using your brain as a sacrifice in his witch-craft.

nigerians r so foolish n gullible that they just accept anythng they read on media.
abeg shey udom follow buhari go cameroun on tuesday n they came back on thursday? na question o...

Am expecting a change in flavor after licking vanilla for 8yrs.Akpabio made us believe we were getting strawberry.
Let me also add that fot a state gets abt the highest allocation, there's no time for patience.

Thunder fire any governor who says he is traveling to woo industrialists..


If the conditions are right...industrialists will come on their own!


How many foreign leaders come to Naija to 'woo' industrialists?



Thieves!

lool, akpabio looted your state, funded PDP grossly and wasted funds, despite all that you see on ground, it is chicken money compared to the money that your state gets, stop living in delusion. Ask Ngozi Iwela, she will expose Akpabio.

Udom is not wasteful, note that your money will be judicious used.
after 4-8years u will see the difference

Ogbenijhybo:


my brother, you're a learner when it comes to the party that waste resources.
Guess you'll already forgot the party that budgeted over 1bn naira for Food n drinks. or fueling a generator!

You get time to answer dem.

Useless PDP.

kel4soft:


Am referring to the election petition that is currently on at Abuja. He may lose his seat before November. The evidence of electoral fraud is overwhelming and the Judges may nullify his election.

till then, but God will not allow it, because the APC candidate is a thief, who has been part of government since 1999-2014 only join Apc because he didn't get support of the governor to contest

irishCream:


Hian, see defence

Eyeneka mbok if you're in any way related to Udom correct please tell him to increase the salary of civil servants, that peanuts no fit cater for my two unborn kids

what level are you?

kaycid77:


They guy is busy gallivanting with APC .... they way he is romancing APC, I hope he will not decamp. He is the only PDP governor that is doing that. PDP governors dont waste state resources like APC Govs do

Wasn't it Akpabio dat used akwa ibom's state money to sponsor 2face's wedding in dubai?? Gave dem SUV as gift...d same Govenor gave Mc Galaxy a 2015 model of anoda SUV...abeggy..PDP Govenors are waste demselves..hoping nature flushes dem into gutter.

Then do something....blow up the state Capitol building, that's being serious so they will take you serious...

Happiness87:
face front, you are not aware of contracts that have been awarded or what, your friends are APC sympathizers simple, they don't see any thing good in anyone except themselves.

Udom is by far better than Akpabio himself. by the end of 2019, you will testify.

What a hypocrite you are.

gbishman:
IS THIS GOVERNOR A GOVERNOR OR A PUPPET. DID ANYONE TELL AKPABIO NOT TO TRAVEL WHILE GOVERNOR. DID HIS NEPHEW ABI IN-LAW NOT SLAP THE SITTING GOVERNOR SIMPLY BECAUSE HE REFUSED TO MAKE HIM COMMISSIONER.

Are you aware, Udom is already looking forward to a re-run in that state. If the evidence currently on the floor of the judges at the tribunal re anything to go by. Then, prepare for yourself to vote Udom again. Cos is not looking rosy at all to be fair.

I can see you have a speech defect.

You are hereby pardoned because of your handicapped condition.

I learnt Tom Tom does the magic.

As for your hypocrisy, you claim someone else doesn't see anything good in others, when you are the epitome of such character.

Imagine you calling me a bigot for calling you a hypocrite on a matter that is of no tribal significance. Then you corrupt my tribe name because of your speech handicap.
Does your speech handicap prevent you from spelling right also?

You see why you are a hypocrite?

They're on it, I'm.serious about my request, we need someone close to him to tell him that the civil servants are suffering, what can mere 50k do for a graduate

That's one of the more reason UOU is hated, he was in position to do that but cos of his greed he didn't, someone should push it for us mbok.
I left a contract job I was earning higher to come and experience this, it's not funny!
