YPP WARD-TO-WARD GOVERNORSHIP CAMPAIGN DAY 4, OBA PROMISES INTERNAL ROADS, OTHER INFRASTRUCTURES

Date:

The moribund facilities, including those for health, education and social services in Uyo, the capital of Akwa Ibom State, will be given maximum attention and  upgrades from next year,  when the YPP Government takes over.

This emerged, among other people-oriented promises, when Senator Bassey Albert Akpan, governorship candidate of the Young Progressives Party (YPP), paid homage to the Paramount Ruler of Uyo, HRM Edidem Sylvanus Effiong Okon, shortly before he campaigned in some parts of Uyo (Ward 4, 5 and 7) on November 3, 2022.

At the campaign ground at Holy Child Convent School, Anua, Uyo, OBA equally promised to make the state proud, even better than he did as a senator.

According to him: “I have never disappointed you as a Senator. That is why the President of this country conferred me with a national honor as a Commander of the order of the Niger CON. I have sponsored 481 Akwa Ibom children to universities in the last 6years . As Governor, I will definitely add value to leadership”.

He promised to focus on women and youths. “My administration will focus on our youths and women. It is only one who went through the wilderness that can take another through there. I have put myself in your shoes and as one of you, I will make life better for you. This Government will exceed your expectations”.

He criticized the state government for deliberately starving the people and using the people’s funds to fight them. “They have kept you hungry for the past seven and a half years.They want to use the state’s money to fight you. You must reject the PDP and vote for the YPP”.

He charged the youths to take their destinies in their hands by supporting the YPP.

“The youths of Etoi Wards 4,5 and 7, you must take your destiny in your hand. Once you take your destinies in your hands, no one person will determine a governor for you. Just like Governor Udom Emmanuel said in 2019, that ‘’never in the history of Akwa ibom state will one man determine who governs and who doesn’t’’’

OBA recalled that Obong Victor Attah handed over to a younger person in Governor Godswill Akpabio, who was equally succeeded by a younger Udom Emmanuel.

Arguing that God has already arranged the order of succession, he predicted that Gov Emmanuel will hand over to him, a younger person and  described YPP as the move of God for Akwa Ibom state.

He pledged to rename Akwa Ibom Government House as “The People’s House”. To make this
possible, he urged the ecstatic crowd to vote for the fresh leaves, the YPP symbol in governorship and other elections.

Earlier, OBA had told the paramount ruler:  “Your Majesty, let me thank you, your wife and the entire Uyo Traditional Council. We are here to talk to Uyo people, we couldn’t have entered here without paying homage to you. This is my blueprint for the state.

I want to assure you that the YPP Government will give you the rightful place. We will give Uyo upgrade of infrastructure and facilities. Uyo needs the kind of facilities that will contain population explosion. No Government can ignore Uyo in the scheme of things”.

He told the monarch that his decision to campaign ward-to-ward was to feel the pulse of the people, in order to solve the problems at hand  when he assumes office as Governor.

“This is the first time a governorship campaign goes ward-to-ward to interface with the people to know their peculiar problems, so that when he comes in, he will know how to solve their problems”.

OBA also offered hope to the traditional rulers as he said: “Your welfare and upkeep will top my agenda. The health of our leaders will be given due attention”.

Responding, the Paramount Ruler thanked him for all he has done, and prayed God to grant him success.

“A mere looking at your group speaks for itself. We are from Uyo, we must speak the truth. I have seen and heard all you have done. Continue in your good works, God will take you there…When you get there, please remember how the house was when you left”,the monarch said.

The chairman of Akwa Ubok Abasi in Uyo, Otuekong Enefiok Ekefre, said OBA has what it takes to be a governor.

“I vouch for Bassey Albert because he has what it takes to be a Governor. They brought someone who runs hotel. We don’t need those who sell drinks in government. OBA will be Governor, so let him continue to sell drinks.

OBA has every qualification…he has the experience and will deliver. The choice is  between good and bad”, he said.

Pastor Sunny Ibuot, Director – General of Akwa Ubok Abasi Campaign Council, while speaking told the people that OBA is the most qualified for the next  as Governor.

YPP state chairman, Apostle Nyenime Andy, said Uyo will vote YPP because they need a governor that will redeem them from the current quagmire.
