 By Osuini Francis Akwa Ibom Civil Servants who were once beneficiaries of Akpabiomba; an extra salary in the last month of the year, promotion arrears, leave grants and other juicy perks are today on the throes of uncertainty and resultant hardship under Governor Udom Emmanuel. The reason for the spiteful treatment they are getting from the governor is unknown to them. But they believe that if a governor they overwhelmingly voted for in 2015 and who is seeking a second term in office could unleash such hardship on civil servants in his first term, then it behooves them to be wise as they return to the polls on March 2, 2019. "In the era of Akpabio, civil servants fared well", said a civil servant who craved for anonymity. "It was our promotion arrears and other perks that we often used to buy land and build our houses each time such entitlement came", he continued. "Now no civil servant can boast of purchasing a parcel of land, not to talk of building ...

The event which held at the Uyo Township Stadium drew a humongous crowd including the timbers and calibres of Akwa Ibom politics. But the focus of this piece is neither about the unprecedented crowd that thronged the venue nor the array of political juggernauts that were present at the event. It is also not about the fine political speeches symbolising a unity of purpose that were made. It is more about the hard facts that were contained in Obaseki's goodwill message to the candidate of APC and the good people of Akwa Ibom State. Governor Obaseki had said that in Akpabio's era, Akwa Ibom used to be the envy of other states because of its pace of development. "Akwa Ibom is a State we used to look up to with envy but after he left, all th...

By Udeme Ankott  The date December 31st, 2018 would  remain historical in the annals of  Ibibio race as it was sacredly designated to witness the Coronation of Ntenyin Solomon Etuk as the 4th Oku Ibom Ibibio, which is the highest traditional stool in Ibibio heritage. The occasion as expected was filled with grandeur showcasing the rich heritage of the Ibibio people as it also attracted prominent persons including traditional rulers from various parts of the country.  There, was, however an article birthed in mischief with a narrative that is  insidious, as usual and  authored by one of the morally bankrupt and educationally deficient media baboons of Governor Udom Emmanuel, an equally inept person. The article attempts to attach meanings to the unavoidable absence of Obong Nsima Ekere and Senator Godswill Obot Akpabio at the grand event.  The fact that the author of the article entitled NSIMA EKERE: THE BID TO MAKE OF AN INSOLENT A “GOVERNOR”,...
