At times like these when politicians see politics as an avenue to loot and take money from where they did not sow, Hon Samuel Effanga, the Uyo born Political maverick sees politics as a call to serve, he is of the opinion that when we are discussing politics, it should be all encompassing and all-embracing were every member of the society is allowed to partake and also contribute to the growth of the state and the nation. It was a beautiful morning last week when this reporter had a phone interaction with Effanga and it was not difficult for an appointment of an interview to be brokered with the youthful and ever smiling politician that afternoon. At three O’ Clock, this reporter strolled into the OsongAman residence of Samuel Effanga for the exercise. Effanga was clad in a red stripped T shirt with a grey coloured Chinose and a utility shoe to match. Effanga was in his elements when he poured glowing tributes to Governor Godswill Akpabio whom he described as a man that understands what leadership is all about. He admitted that he has been under pressure to contest the Uyo federal constituency seat come 2015. He regretted that there is a challenge in the PDP his party at the national levelbut expressed optimism that the National Chairman, Adamu Muazu will weather the stop and reconciles all warring actors. It was an interaction that was worth the time. Read Excerpts as served from the Newsroom of THE INK Newspapers.
