He said the people will reciprocate his goodwill by voting for him, revealing that, Governor Udom was born in ikot Etim , Ukanafun and therefore, is their son.
A cross section of Ukanafun people who trooped out in their numbers expressed gratitude to the governor for remembering Ukanafun, where no road has been constructed for years.
