He applauded the Governor for his unflinching warm wishes by imploring them to maintain sanity and decency within the said period of Campaign.
According to the Essien Udim PDP candidate, the Governor has not only set the tone for a violence free electioneering campaign in the state but has gone a long way to prove that the PDP in Akwa Ibom State has a track record of performance through its numerous people oriented programmes and policies, and assured Essien Udim people of his determination to consolidate on the many achievements the PDP have recorded in Essien Udim since 1999 till date.
“As I said during the inauguration of my Campaign Council, I remain committed and dedicated to consolidating on the achievements of my predecessors and what the Governor is doing especially in his vision to transform the lives of the Rural Communities”.
“The next Government in Essien Udim is not a Government of Engr Enobong Patrick. It is going to be the people’s government whereby the NEEDS Assessment of Essien Udim people will be the basis for policy conceptualisation, formulation, implementation, monitoring and evaluation. By so doing, the people will have a sense of belonging which makes Governance easy, and help the Government gain the trust and acceptance of the Electorate”.
He assured Essien Udim people that with their support come October 5, 2024, every part of the Local Government will feel the impact of his Administration because Transparency, Accountability and Inclusiveness are the operational philosophy upon which he will serve Essien Udim people.

“Essien Udim is work in progress. Rome they say was not built in a day. So also is Essien Udim. Every leader, past and present in Essien Udim have always come onboard and contribute his or her quota to the development of our Local Government. Now by God’s grace, the task is about to be on our shoulders. Let’s unite and together build the Essien Udim of our dream”.
“I cannot do it alone but together, the power of our collective resolve and determination will propel us to overcome whatever obstacle that lies ahead and achieve that which we all desire for our Motherland”, he admonished.
