Etido Inyang has brought credibility to leadership – Ikot Ekpene people

Engineer Inyang

Torrents of accolades yet again have trailed the path of Akwa Ibom State Commissioner for Special Duties, Engr. Etido Inyang for his exemplary leadership style. The recent waves of goodwill blew across the Raffia City of Ikot Ekpene during the festive season when the people trooped in to the country home of the soft-spoken commissioner to celebrate the yuletide with him as well as offer their commendations.
On Christmas eve particularly, women groups, youth organizations, elders and the political class had converged, where they re-appraised his performance as the representative of the area in Akwa Ibom State Executive Council six months after amidst their merry mood. The people who spoke individually and in groups all lauded his “unassuming” and “accommodating” leadership and passed a vote of confidence on him. They described him as a remarkable leader who has made marked difference already in the political landscape of the area.

In his assessment, Mr. Ukpong Ekong, said Engr. Inyang’s time as a commissioner, though barely six months old, has engendered noticeable unity among the people irrespective of political preference. “And at every opportunity of such gatherings, he preaches unity of purpose and harps on the need to collapse every contrary political front in support of Governor Udom Emmanuel. He has mobilized and supported many groups with a view towards achieving this aim and I can confidently tell you that he has recorded significant results in this direction”.
Also speaking, Mmeyene Ita disclosed that prior to now, it was impossible to have a cross section of Ikot Ekpene people converge in huge numbers at a common venue for political meetings but that the leadership of Etido Inyang has achieved that as the people now consider his house as a conducive rendezvous to discuss burning political issues, as well as air their grievances whenever there is any, while the commissioner genuinely attends to such complaints and resolve differences.
 “His humility and honesty has enabled him win more support and loyalty for the present administration,” she remarked.
Reaffirming their satisfaction on the choice of Engr. Inyang as a member of the state Exco, the crowd agreed that aside his professional competence, the Special Duties Commissioner remains the best option as he enjoys enormous goodwill across sections of the local government area.
“He is a unifier, mobilizer, and an honest political broker,” said a spokesperson for the youth groups. “He is a great team player and very passionate about the success of the present government”.
While commending him for adding value to their celebrations during the yuletide, the people re-assured that their faith in the administration of Governor Emmanuel and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) remains unshakeable. They urged the governor to continue with the impressive strides he is recording in the state and not be distracted by the antics of anti-progressive elements who wants to stunt the renaissance in the state, assuring him that soon, the generality of Akwa Ibom people will come to appreciate his service and honest leadership.
