Cult Wars Have Ravaged Akwa Ibom Through Udoms Tenure by peasy90(op): 6:44pm On Mar 05, 2019
Udom often falsely claims that Akwa Ibom has been peaceful under his tenure. But this is wrong. Statistics by various humanitarian groups, as well as local opinion shows that the largest incidence of insecurity happened under the Udom tenure.

In the Ukanafun area, a cult war waged for more than a year while the governor sat helpless. Even though the main cultists were known, because a couple of them were connect with politicians currently in the PDP, nothing was done against them. The entire area lived in insecurity and fear -with shootings becoming a daily matter.

In Ikot Ekpene and Uyo, cultists walked into the market with guns and simply took goods as the traders scampered. This state of affairs lasted for more than 6 months, while Udom travelled out to relax in Lagos.

The problem ultimately had to be solved by the federal government on the insistence of the local senators like Godswill Akpabio. The federal government sent in soldiers, who quelled the insecurity and restored back peace to the state.

The problem has not really been that Udom did not see the issue - he was just too weak to rise up against the sons of politicians who he needed for re-election. For that reason, he let the local wars continue, and tolerated the death of citizens as the price to pay for his ambition.

Mr liar, udom tried tremendously by enacting anti cultism law,to the state assembly which was also signed by both hiM and the assembly
Mind you akpabio had more than 50000 cultists under the payroll of akwa ibom state government but when udom came he stopped the free money and he opened skill acquisition centres
For the records it was during akpabios regime that kidnapping,assasination and robbery, was seen as a norm
Stop spreading fake news
