Desparate days in Nsit Atai- Chairman linked to Mbiam

As the 2015 general election gathers the heat in Nsit Atai Local Government Area, the Executive Chairman, Hon. Mark Esset is alleged to have been administering Mbiam to his supporters to ensure their complete loyalty before giving them anything; a very reliable source from the local government who is a member of the local government executive council disclosed this to our reporter recently. The source who pleaded anonymity said “Mr. Mark Esset is doing this because of his House of Assembly ambition since he has learned from what happened to his predecessor, Hon. Ibanga Bassey Akpan who was deceived by the people to spend money without getting the House of Assembly ticket”. 

The source also alleged that Hon. Esset has been using diabolic means to entice the people; maintaining that out of the 6 vehicles he had distributed to his supporters to mark his first one year in office, 3 have recently been involved in ghastly accident that claimed lives while one person sold out his own on realizing the diabolic manipulations surrounding those vehicles.
