Congresses In Esit Eket A Sham, Reasons We're In Court

Congresses In Esit Eket A Sham, Reasons We're In Court - Uyoata

By Edem Andem
The National Leader of Association for Better Esit Eket, Mr. Ayatollah Uyoata Azam, has described Congresses of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) that was conducted in Esit Eket as sham and reason for the political crisis in the area.
Mr. Uyoata said the congresses were conducted without respect and consideration to the PDP Constitution that allows for inclusiveness, fairness, equity, justice and internal democracy.

Speaking further, he said “We are in court to seek redress and save our party in Esit Eket from collapse. We wish to state emphatically that we cannot allow a troika to decide the fate of PDP in Esit Eket. How can one man disregard other stakeholders of the party and thinks he can impose the the state officer, chapter chairman, ward chairmen and other party officers on all of us, particularly on Distinguished Senator Etang Edet Umoyo and Rt. Hon. Usoro Akpanusoh? How does it sound to you when a two term member of the State House of Assembly and a Senator has no input in the party structure of their local government Area?”

“It is very laughable and ridiculous when Hon. Usoro Akpanusoh is accused of instituting a court case using proxies, who are these proxies? Is it myself a former secretary of Esit Eket local government Area, Prince Akan Etteudo PDP chapter youth leader, Prince Isangedighe Imossan former chapter Secretary of party and Secretary of local government, Hon.Ime Robson former councillor, Hon. Imo Edet Jonah Dakkada Ambassadors coordinator and former leader Esit Eket legislative council, Pastor Godwin Idinyang Party stakeholder etc.? We are the plaintiffs and not Hon.Usoro Akpanusoh. So please leave our MP out of this.”

“In strength of the above, we hereby submit that for true peace to return to Esit Eket PDP, that zone B should produce the chairmanship of Local government in 2020 local government elections, The original winners of the wards and local government congresses in Esit Eket should be acknowledged and Hon.Imo Jonah should be recognized as the authentic chapter chairman of PDP in Esit Eket, PDP political leader should shun nepotism and clannish sentiments and our share of the 14.7 kilometers of roads the governor gave should be given to zone C etc.”

“It is only through this that Esit Eket PDP will stop boiling and the real Egunguns viz. PDP political leader of Esit Eket, his godson the Executive Chairman of Esit Eket and the self styled APC returnee deputy political leader will be careful and will not enter express. We came in Peace and we will come back in Peace. Zone B chairmanship is sacrosanct and untouchable and on this we stand,” he concluded.

Akwa Ibom Assembly Bans Sign-Out Celebrations, Orders Immediate Enforcement Across Schools

By Asuquo Edem The Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly has adopted a resolution calling for the immediate prohibition of all forms of sign-out celebrations in primary, secondary and tertiary institutions across the state, citing growing concerns over moral decadence, violence, substance abuse and other anti-social behaviours associated with the practice. The resolution followed the consideration of a Motion on Notice sponsored by the Member representing Esit Eket/Ibeno State Constituency, Hon. Udobia Friday Udo, during plenary. Leading debate on the motion, Hon. Udobia argued that while educational institutions are established to promote learning, discipline, moral values and responsible citizenship, the culture of sign-out celebrations by graduating students has increasingly degenerated into activities that undermine these ideals. According to him, what was once intended as a celebration of academic accomplishment has, in recent years, become synonymous with indecent dressin...
