Aniekan Umanah is a slave, says Robinson Uwak

The member representing Oron federal Constituency in the National Assembly has described Aniekan Umanah the state commissioner for Information as a slave and has advised the state Governor Godswill Akpabio to always speak to him directly whenever he wants to instead of using his aide to address him.

Uwak said this in response to a script written by Aniekan Umanah were the information boss captioned, Robinson Uwak’s dishonorable verses. It could be recalled that the state Information commissioner had hit back at Uwak when the National Assemblyman wrote on facebook that Akpabio should encourage an Oro man to emerge the Governor. The Assemblyman had opined that Akpabio has not done anything for Oro nation for the past years he has been in Government.
In his response Aniekan Umanah had said, Before I address Uwak’s lie that Oro has been totally neglected, let me remind him that, Uyo is the epicentre of the Akwa Ibom story being the State capital.
That is obviously why, the major projects of Governor Akpabio including, but not limited to the brand new Governors Lodge, Deputy Governors Lodge, Governors office, Banquet Hall and Press Centre all with state-of-the art finesse are located in Uyo. For the same consideration, the Ibom Tropicana Entertainment Complex, E-Library, 20th Anniversary Referral Hospital and all major road dualizations, redevelopment and flyovers are found in Uyo. Or will our dear Honourable lawmaker fault the siting of the world class 30, 000 seater International Stadium, which is already a showpiece attracting accolades and jubilation from the state and beyond in Uyo?

But, maybe, our Honourable member has forgotten that, the Ibom International Airport which Governor Akpabio met at site clearing level on assumption of office in 2007 and completed it, is largely in Okobo Local Government Area of Oro nation. Could he have also conveniently erased from mind that the longest bridge in the State (1.2KM) is being built at Ukonteghe in Oro nation even as government started with the construction of 34 urban roads in Oron many of which have since been completed.

Can we also refresh our Honourable’s memory that, the man he falsely labels as ‘Uncommon Transformer of Annang land and a small part of UYO’ has undertaken 18 urban roads in Ikot Absai, 49 in Eket, 11.2km of road in Etinan, 11km in Mkpat Enin and we can go on and on. It will be unfortunate, if Honourable Uwak has also failed to reckon that the ongoing dualization of Eket/Ibeno road, even distribution of amenities through the widely acclaimed instrumentality of the Inter Ministerial Direct Labour Agency and political appointments by this ‘Annang Governor’, as he chose to tag him, have been kind to all component units of the State, including Oro.

But Robinson Uwak on Sunday in a facebook post described Aniekan Umanah as a slave. He said, Good afternoon Your Excellency. I have heard of your government house press release over my post on Facebook of over two weeks ago. While I am surprised that it has taken the uncommon transformer of Annang land over two weeks to gather himself to confront the TRUTH, it is pertinent to ask if you briefed your managers of your phone conversation with me where you clearly admitted marginalizing Oro and pleaded with me to bring down the post on Facebook and come to a negotiating table with you. 

Did you tell them that my only condition for meeting with you is the award of Oron road by Isanghedighi to Julius Berger? I plead with you your Excellency to let the slaves toiling in your exco into our conversation of Saturday the 5th of July. Maybe they will gather the courage to advice you sincerely when you do wrong. Please tell your slaves I am a free man who will only exchange conversation with a freeman like you so they need not bother. In the future Your Excellency, if you have anything to respond to TRUTH please deal directly with me and don’t send a slave to me. In the meantime hurry,fix roads in Oro and support Oro 2015 or you will have no vote from Oro. Best regards

Hon. Robinson Uwak
Ubeadai Oro.
