It was a colourful show of appreciation recently as the people of Etoi in Uyo Council, Akwa Ibom State, gathered at the St. Dominic Primary School, Uyo, to acknowledge Governor Udom Emmanuel for his developmental strides in the area.

The well-attended event hosted by the Member representing Uyo Constituency, Anietie Eka, afforded the indigenes to celebrate and commend the governor, particularly, for the construction of the Anua-Mbak-Ishiet Road in Etoi Clan and other projects in Uyo Council.

Speaking at the event, Anietie Eka, commended the state Chief Executive for placing premium on the welfare of his constituents through the construction of the Anua-Mbak-Ishiet Road, which he said has tackled the sufferings of residents, commuters and traders.

“Today we celebrate a peaceful and passionate Governor, Mr. Udom Emmanuel. We are celebrating the governor because for the first time since creation of the state, we’ve had a tarred road that cuts across Mbak, Mbak Ikot Ebo, Mbak Ikot Abasi, Mbak Akpan Ekpenyong and the rest of them. For so many years, we agitated for the construction of the road, but when Udom Emmanuel came, he saw the need to embark on the construction. May God bless him,” he said.

Eka promised that Etoi and by extension, Uyo Council, will support the governor’s succession plan through Pastor Umo Eno in the 2023 general elections.

“The people of Etoi are gathered here to endorse you (Pastor Umo Eno). We have gathered here to inform you that as far as 2023 election is concerned, Etoi people will come out enmasse and vote for you. The people of Etoi have been known to be very proactive when it comes to politics. The people you have seen here are steadfast PDP members. We will deliver. We will stand by you,” he noted.

In his remarks, Emmanuel said the construction of the Anua-Mbak-Ishiet Road signaled the beginning of more quality and life-transforming projects for the people.

He appreciated the stakeholders, men, women and youths of Etoi for their support and urged them to remain steadfast with the PDP.

Goodwill messages were received from the Political Leader of Uyo Council, Otuekong Enobong Uwah, Commissioner for Environment and Mineral Resources, Mr. Charles Udoh and his counterpart in Works and Fire Service, Prof. Eno Akpan, Chairman, Uyo LGA, Dr. Uwemedimo Udo and PDP Candidate for Uyo state Constituency, Mr. Uwemedimo Asuquo.

Others include Special Assistant to the Governor on Social Reorientation, Mr Ekpeno Gold, former Board Member, Akwa Ibom Water Board Company, Mr. Donatus Udoh and Etoi Clan Youth Leader, Sir Wiker Jackson.

They all pledged their total support to Emmanuel’s completion agenda and Pastor Umo Eno’s gubernatorial aspiration.

The event, which featured rich cultural displays and presentation of a new vehicle to the Clan Head of Etoi, was also graced by aides to the governor, serving and past government officials, the clergy, royal fathers, as well as uniform groups.
