A sitting lawmaker in the Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly, Hon Asukwo Archibong has been accused of retrieving his empowerment vehicle from his constituent in Urue Offing Oruko Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State.

According to Joseph Atainyang who shared the news, the lawmaker did the retrieval Thursday in Oron Town as the beneficiary, Hon Okokon Iyanam, the International President of Urue Offong/Oruko Grassroot Foundation (UOGF) was returning from a consultative meeting of another aspirant into the state constituency.

Iyanam who is a former council chairman of the area and currently the chapter secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, allegedly said that, Archibong intercepted him at Efiat Lane while he was driving back from the meeting venue.

His words, "I think he was laying ambush on me. As I was driving out of the premises of the meeting before dusk, Asukwo Archibong intercepted me with his official vehicle with four armed Mobil police men as well as his Personal Assistant".

"They asked me to come out of the vehicle, as I came out, one of them immediately jumped into the car and drove off. Some people who were at the street at that time saw when it happened. He did not give me the receipt of the vehicle. He knows what he is doing. He was careful not to give the receipt for any of the empowerment items to any beneficiary".

Iyanam said that Archibong did not give him any reason for getting the car back from him.

Dropping the news on the social media (Facebook) three days back, Isaac Mefo, a constituent in the area described the unfortunate situation as barbaric and shameful.

He called on the Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Deacon Udom Emmanuel, the Speaker of the Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Onofiok Luke, as well as the media community in the state to immediately rise in condemnation of the act.

He exclaimed, "What a barbaric and shameful act by Hon. Asukwo Archibong, Member Rep Urue Offong/Oruko in AKHA?"

"I received a call yesterday that the so called car gift Hon. Archibong gave to Hon Iyanam, current PDP chapter secretary and former head of council, during his constituency briefing was retrieved from him yesterday". "He said that, Hon Iyanam is not supporting his second term bid. The Governor, Deacon Udom Emmanuel, The Speaker of AKHA, Rt (Hon) Onofiok Luke and the Akwa Ibom State Media Community must hear this".

No politician in this country have credibility, they are only after their own pocket, so because he felt his second term bid can be hindered by him, so he withdrew the empowerment vehicle he get tetanus for brain

I just dey laugh

Hmmm

ohhh

Tokunba car as empowerment car!


Sigh...


Lawmakers dont have shame.

That one Na car?

Empowerment na reward for past support and motivation for future support

The man should have branded the car so that he cannot use it to support another candidate

Maybe the Hon was ashamed of branding that kind of motor car in his name

Fear of the unknown

Benekruku:
Tokunba car as empowerment car!


Sigh...


Lawmakers don't have shame.

Honestly. I agree with you.

Which one of dem be iyanam & which one be azukwo?

They both look like misfits.
