Contrary to the recent false media reports concocted by one Athanasius Ekarika, published in an online media platform “Sitippe Ke Akwa Ibom” that the special Assistant to Governor Udom Emmanuel on Local Media, Mr. Uko Umoh has urged members of the People Democratic Party in Etinan to wake up from their slumber and be prepared should tribunal order a re-run of election in the state; A socio cultural group, Friends of Uko Umoh in Nigeria (FUUN) has strongly descended on those behind the blackmail, and describe the said report as malicious and falsehood taken too far.
Speaking through her National President, Mr Victor Akwa-Owo, the group frown seriously at the spate of blackmail and falsehood being propagated in the State with deliberate intentions assassinate the character of the Governor’s Aide, Mr Uko Umoh. He said that Mr Umoh being a true believer of Governor Udom Emmanuel has no doubt that the tribunal will certainly rule in favour of his boss. He maintained that Uko has never on any occasion made a statement related to the re-run of any election in the state, and described the false media blackmail against him as the handiwork of faceless detractors whose intention is to blackmail and malign the character of reputable people.
On the purported report that Governor Udom Emmanuel borrowed N10 billion for the re-run of election, Mr. Akwa-Owo condemned in strong terms the illegal act of some online medium publishers who use the social media platform for destruction, and described it as media militants of hiding to spread falsehood.
According to FUUN President, the emergence of Udom Emmanuel as the duly democratically elected governor of the state, apart from being through a divine mandate of God was a collective decision of Akwa Ibom people who stood out to ensure through their votes that the right man with right intentions takes over the affairs of the state for the wellbeing of the people.

Describing Governor Udom as a tested and proven personality who by hard work in both public and private sectors carved a niche to himself, and called on the general public to discard in its entirety the fake report made against him alongside the State Governor in respect to the borrowed money which is intended to bring the industrialization agenda of government to fusion.
He dismissed the report linking Uko Umoh with thugs as laughable, adding that it’s a calculated attempt by the blackmailer who is suffering from epileptic memory lost to link Mr Uko Umoh with thugs.
He advised those behind the false news report to refrain from the pull-him-down practice and embrace “Dakkada” philosophical initiative of Governor Udom Emmanuel as well as developmental journalism that would foster peace and unity in the state.
