Ibibene Akwa Ibom lends their support to the governorship bid
of MOSES ESSIEN
Ibibene Akwa Ibom lends their support to the governorship bid
of Moses Essien. Ibibene Akwa Ibom is a socio-political association
in the State made up of youths of the 31 Local Government Areas.
Members of the Association led by its president, Mr. Sifon Paul
who met with the gubernatorial aspirant recently in Uyo, expressed
their admiration for his leadership acumen and commended him for
the legacy he bequeathed the State when he was Commissioner for
Education, Youths and Sports. Present at the meeting were Idorenyin
Etokafia, Anietie Usoro, Daniel Patrick and other members of the
executive.
The Governorship Aspirant, Moses Essien who was elated at the
visit promised to continue to give his best in the service of
the State and to ensure that the interest of the Youths are accommodated
in every policy of Government if elected the next governor. He
took out time to enumerate the programmes in his economic blueprint
for the State, and pledged to make education free, qualitative
and compulsory.
Asked about his plans towards changing the economic fortune of
the State, the People’s Democratic Party (P.D.P) aspirant said
his economic programme which will be patterned after the Asian
model, shall revolve around agriculture, massive industrialization,
and the establishment of an international wholesale market in
the state to service the huge commercial need of the people of
the whole gulf of Guinea – an economic privilege presently enjoyed
by Aba. He also spoke of plans to harness the rich aquacultural
potentials of the state.
He vowed to tackle youth and graduate unemployment in the state,
which he said, has been the root cause of youth restiveness and
crime in the society.
At the end of the meeting the visitors gathered round and prayed
for God’s continued protection upon the life of the aspirant and
for His Divine direction as the State approaches the next round
of elections.
