Eket Stakeholders Urge Gov Emmanuel To Focus On Infrastructural Devt

Stakeholders from Eket Senatorial district in Akwa Ibom State have urged Governor Udom Emmanuel to remain focused on his well-thought out plans of infrastructural development and industrialisation of the state.
The forum who stated this   during a media parley at Eket decried the annulment of the state’s governorship election by the Court of Appeal, describing the development as a desperate move by the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, to conquer the state.
They urged the Supreme Court not to succumb to the perceived pressure by the APC to conquer the oil-rich Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa and Rivers states, in the cases pending before it.
According to the forum “We are gathered here to express the position of this federal constituency on the vexed issue of the annulment of the Akwa Ibom State governorship election wherein our son, Governor Udom Emmanuel won.
“It was a mandate that was freely given by the majority of Akwa Ibom people but for untenable reasons, have become subject of contest by agents of the ruling party, the APC, in their desperate move to capture by force, the oil-rich states of Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa and Rivers. “We have faith in the judiciary.
