Ahead of the 2015 elections, a socio
political organization in the state “Coalition for Akwa Ibom Agenda (CAKA)” has
made a passionate appeal to the state governor, Chief Godswill Akpabio to pay deaf
ears to insinuations by the opposition but should monitor and show interest in
the process of electing who will succeed him so that his transformation agenda
may not suffer a set back immediately he steps out of office.
Speaking at Ikpa Ikot Ubo ward 3 in
Ibiono Ibom LGA, the patron of the group in Ibiono Ibom, Engr. Kufre Ekong
Inyang said for the successful continuation of the uncommon transformation
programme of the present administration, it is pertinent for the governor to
ignore what he termed “negative ranting” by people whose stock in trade is
always destructively criticizing the achievements of the governor and are all
out to freeze his lofty ideas in the cool, he should remain focus and take a
critical look on the pedigree of those who are presently jostling for his
office and throw his weight behind someone he is sure will continue from where
he will stop so that the state will continue to benefit as well as enjoy the
dividends of democracy.
Engr. Kufre Inyang who is a strong
believer of the power rotation, noted that having gone this far “it will not be
to the best for us if we degenerate to zero point if by 2015 someone without
the requisite experience and who has not understand the agenda of the governor
is elected to govern the state.
On the rotation of power, he emphasized
that it was worthwhile to give Eket Senatorial District specifically somebody
from Oro nation the opportunity for justice, fairness and equity emphasizing
that the oro nation has contributed greatly to the development of the state
right from the core state movement era.
He appealed to members of the group to
avoid mortgaging their conscience because of money but should put up their best
in spreading the philosophy of the group to the nooks and crannies of the
state. He later presented enlightenment materials to the international
coordinator of the group Hon. Edeke O. Edeke.
Receiving the materials, Hon. Edeke
Edeke thanked Engr. Kufre Inyang and Ibiono Ibom chapter of the group for
setting the pace and distinguishing itself among other chapters. He said the
group which stands for justice, equity and oneness is originally packaged to
bring to the state the desire need to love one another and also give equal
opportunity to everybody despite where that person comes from.
Hon. Edeke who maintained that Akwa
Ibom standing on the tripod, there is need for all the component areas to enjoy
their God given resources that abound in the state including power.
In his comment, the Ibiono Ibom chapter
coordinator of CAKA, Mr. Usen Umoren charged members of the group
especially the ward coordinators to put their best in propagating the message
of the group and should see their selves as agents of salvation. Mr. Umoren
assured the national exco of the group of his determination and willingness to
take the group to an enviable level in the state until their target is
achieved. Eket, oron and Urueofong Oruko chapters of the group also attended
the meeting.
