The electricity light we are enjoying today came when Udom Emmanuel was on seat as SSG. I am also aware that ever since Ukwok came to existence, non of out indigenes were appointed by the Governor to serve in the state. For that fact that we didn’t even have hope but the Governor appointed one of us to work with him shows that he has the people of Ukwok at heart. More things are coming to Ukwok. The story of playing opposition politics in Ukwok have changed”.
