- Hon. Umanah
- COMMENDS GOV FOR NEW LIFE ENHANCEMENT PACKAGES
FOR YOUTHS
—————————————-
🎈The peaceful ambience that greeted the recently conducted party primaries of the PDP in Akwa Ibom State which saw the emergence of Chairmanship and Councilorship flagbearers of the party in the 31 LGA’s ahead of the forthcoming local government election has been attributed to the proactive leadership style of the State’s Chief Executive and leader of the party, Governor Umo Eno.
🎈Recall that preceding last Saturday’s primaries, the party had conducted a peaceful ward congress devoid of rancor that has always associated the exercise in the past. Also last Saturday’s primaries which saw the nomination of Councilorship and Chairmanship candidates of the party was equally held without rancor, as everyone including party stakeholders and aspirants accepted the outcome of the exercise in good faith.
🎈Reacting to the development, the Media Consultant to the Governor, Hon. Aniekan Umanah, described the feat as a testament to the quality of leadership which the Governor has brought to bear in the governance of the State since he assumed office.
🎈Fielding questions on a live radio program in Uyo, the Akwa Ibom State capital, the former National Assembly Member and who had also served the State as a former Commissioner for Information, opined that the Governor’s proactive measures and peaceful disposition had created an environment conducive for a smooth and conflict-free primary election process.
🎈Umanah, who also serves as Member of the Congress and Elections Organizing Committee described as commendable the decision by Akwa Ibom’s youth to abstain from participating in the nationwide protests that has led to unrest in other states. He maintained that the restraint has contributed significantly to the peace and calm atmosphere in the state.
🎈He observed that it was great honour for youths in Akwa Ibom to heed the call of the Governor to back out of the protest to avoid it being hijacked by hoodlums who would capitalize on it to embark on a looting spree, destruction of lives and property, like it happened during the ENDSARS protest.
🎈Umanah reechoed the Governor’s decision to reward Akwa Ibom youths for heeding to his earlier plea on the matter by announcing a special initiative set to launch in October, which will benefit 5,000 youths. This program, according to the Media Chieftain is part of the Governor’s ongoing efforts to support and empower the younger generation, alongside existing initiatives like the Ibom Led program, the Dakkada Skill Acquisition Center and several other ongoing empowerment initiatives targeted at empowering the youths.
🎈He therefore urged the youth to seize these opportunities and continue their support for the Governor and his administration, highlighting the positive impact of these empowerment programs on their future prospects.
