You are all witnesses to the political developments that culminated in the 2019 general elections that took place in Akwa Ibom State.

Bomb blast, gunshots injure three APC members in Uyo

...PDP responsible for the attack - APC Campaign Council, Youth Leader allege An explosion and gunshots which rocked the campaign grounds of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, on Tuesday night, have left at least three persons injured. The incident which occurred at about 7:30 pm was reportedly perpetrated by gunmen who arrived in a car, threw dynamite into the premises before opening fire on hapless members and supporters of the APC. It was gathered that a training programme for APC agents for Saturday's Governorship and House of Assembly elections was one of the activities which took place at the campaign grounds when the attackers struck. Copious blood stains dotted the premises after the incident which left many in awe. Eyewitnesses said the attackers arrived in a commando style and sped off before security operatives at the premises could return fire. When newsmen visited the victims in hospital, two of them were in critical cond

BOMBING OF APC CAMPAIGN OFFICE: PDP DESPERATION TAKEN TOO FAR

                        Eyibio We want to alert the nation and particularly, security agencies of the bombing and  shootings that took place at the APC Campaign Office along Edet Akpan Avenue, Uyo, Akwa Ibom State. The bombing and shooting, which took place at about 7:30 pm on Tuesday March 5, 2019, is another desperate attempt by the People’s Democratic Party, its thugs and militant groups that have swamped the state since the commencement of elections in February this year, to cause large scale violence, capable of preventing the March 9, 2019 from holding. An eye witness account has it that the attackers came to the gate of the campaign office and threw a dynamite, which exploded, into the premises. The loud bang sent party agents, who had gathered for training, scampering for safety. In the ensuing melee, several gunshots were fired into the premises, which left three people badly wounded. Victims of the attack have been taken to a hospital in Uyo for treatment. To prepare

Udom watches as 540MW power plant in Akwa Ibom will be used to power Kano

In spite of the chronic power shortages in Akwa Ibom state, the $1.6bn QIPP power plant being built in Ibeno, Akwa Ibom is going be to supplying power exclusively to Kano. The Kano State Governor, Ganduje has signed an agreement with the managing director of the transmission company of Nigeria that ensures that all of the power put on-grid by the power plant will be delivered equivalently to Kano. Governor Udom Emmanuel has not commented on why Akwa Ibom state will not be receiving any of the power generated, in spite of announcing the initiative at the South South regional workshop and stakeholders forum on the ease of doing business in Nigeria held, in Uyo. Akwa Ibom citizens are perturbed at the development, at a recent forum of engineers held in Abak, the discussion was heated, with many engineers insisting that the state government ensure that at least 100mw of the power generated be reserved for use by Akwa Ibomites. The state government has not made any moves to ful

Udom Emmanuel: Mr. Abandoned Projects

When Udom Emmanuel took over power from Godswill Akpabio, many projects were in advanced stages of completion. All he had to do was complete them. But instead of doing that, he decided to do…nothing. He did not complete existing projects, and he also did not start new projects. Instead of completing critical infrastructure projects, he decided that he would spend billions of Naira to create so-called industries. But every businessman knows that it is easy to invest money in a new business, but it is difficult to make those businesses work. And most of all, it is very difficult for Government to make any business work. And exactly that has happened - all the ‘industries’ that Udom Emmanuel tried to invest in have failed, with various stakeholders in the Government using the initiatives as an easy way to enrich themselves. Most of them are shutdown and moribund, even after hundreds of millions have been invested in them. After wasting three years on failed business projects, Ud

If Akwa Ibom State Government under Governor Udom Emmanuel can afford 3 airlines, why has he (Udom) refused to pay primary school retirees their pension and other entitlements? If Akwa Ibom State Government under Governor Udom Emmanuel can afford three airlines, why has he (Udom) refused to pay primary school retirees their pension and other entitlements? How will the common man benefit from the 3 airlines, when Governor Udom would have channelled the funds into the Ibom Power plant in order to generate and distribute electricity for the benefit of all Akwa Ibom people; both little, young and old? Till we have a Governor that has the interest of the common man at heart, then we do not have the best. Let your PVC speak for you on the 9th of March, 2019.
