As the euphoria of the 29th Anniversary of the creation of Akwa Ibom State filters across, the Commissioner for Special Duties, Engr. Etido Inyang has harped on the imperative of political tolerance in the journey of development and the search for a new and acceptable order.
In a message made available to media houses, the commissioner congratulated the governor, Mr. Udom Emmanuel and Akwa Ibom people, and urged for greater support.
Inyang, who extolled the sterling leadership qualities of Governor Emmanuel said his zeal and commitment to issues of governance are undeniable proofs that he is a man who was ready from the first day for the huge but achievable task of state development.
He said the Emmanuel administration will soon create that desired positive economic difference for the state. ‘But while I continue to call for citizens’ unalloyed support for the governor and his developmental policy thrust, let us also find practical ways of sustaining and preserving the legacies that will proliferate from the Pentagon of Development and eventually remind us of how our story to economic emancipation began.
‘For the rest of us who are under this leadership, as a people, let brotherly love replace hate. Let patriotism substitute ethnicity. Let the crevices in our understanding of one another not expand into cracks. Let us not allow the thin thread of our differences tie to suffocation the bond of our unity’.
The message urged all Akwa Ibom people to cherish the invaluable sacrifices of our forebears who ‘risked their all and gave their all’ to bring to fruition the Akwa Ibom Dream.
