Contrary to speculations and reports in a certain section of the media that Senator Helen Esuene of Eket Senatorial District boycotted the Town Hall meeting that was held for Eket federal constituency at the Eket Local Government council hall last week because of her disagreement with the state Governor Godswill Akpabio, information monitored through investigations revealed that the former first lady was in full support of the initiative and was only unavoidably absent due to very pressing and very serious legislative engagements at the red Chambers of the National Assembly.
The senator had since however sent her apologies to the Government and the people of the state especially of the senatorial district which she represents. Information from the office of the Senator indicates that apart from the tight engagement of the Senator in Abuja, Helen Esuene was also meant to be a part of the first lady Dame Patience Jonathan’s youth summit and as an integral part of the planning, she had so much responsibilities that made her to be unavoidably absent at the event.
On the allegations that supporters of Helen Esuene were not present at the event, it was described as an unfortunate statement as the Town Hall meeting was not a political rally and a place to showcase supporters. The statement added that politicians who are interested in any elective position or doing the bids of their pay masters should desist from trying to present Senator Helen Esuene as not working in tandem with her people as she has remained a unifying factor and a rallying point for the people of the Senatorial District.
The Senator had however reiterated her determination to ensure that she delivers effective representation to the people of the senatorial District whom she has vowed not to disappoint no matter the distractions.
