Don’t Poison Waters Of Our Unity, Udom Tells Akwa Ibom Politicians
By Lucky Itiaba, Uyo
Akwa Ibom State governor, Mr Udom Emmanuel has advised political stakeholders and youths not to poison the unity of the state with toxic political rhetoric.
Udom Emmanuel who gave the advice on Sunday in Uyo in his 7th anniversary broadcast, noted that his administration has delivered on the Social contract it entered with Akwa Ibom people when he assumed office of the governor.
According to him the first term of the contract was predicated on Five critical points, of Job Creation, Poverty Alleviation, Infrastructural Consolidation and Expansion, Wealth Creation and Economic and Political Inclusion.
“All things considered, given the harsh economic tailwind that confronted us when we first came in, given the two recessions we experienced, given the one year the world stood still due to the Covid -19 pandemic, I make bold to say emphatically and unequivocally, that across sectors, we have done exceedingly well.
“Seven years later, to the glory of the One who Reigns Supreme, I can say boldly and satisfactorily, that we have delivered on the terms of the contract.
“As the political season dawns on us, I wish to urge our political stakeholders and our youths not to poison the waters of our unity with toxic political rhetoric or to engage in violence,” Governor Udom told the political class in Akwa Ibom.
“I will never be tired of repeating this line that politics will come and politics will go, but the soul and the essence of the Akwa Ibom enterprise will remain an abiding spirit and letter of our collective engagements.
“Let us eschew violence and embrace the understanding that in any political contest, there must be a winner and the winner should reach out and embrace the side that didn’t win.
“This is why I stated last Sunday after the State and Federal primaries that we will soon set up a reconciliation committee to reach out to those who may have been aggrieved with outcome of our recently conducted primaries.
“Winners have emerged, and I urged our people to line up behind the people who have been nominated to continue pushing the levers of development of our State and ensure that the gains we have made in the last seven years are not frittered away”
