Emmanuel has abandoned my projects, says Akpabio

Senate Minority leader Senator Godswill Akpabio has given
Governor Udom Emmanuel conditions for supporting his
re-election.

Akpabio, who alleged that his successor neglected his Ikot
Ekpene Senatorial District in terms of development, said he might
not support Emmanuel’s second term bid, if the injustice
continued.

Speaking at the annual get-together organised by the Deputy
Governor, Chief Moses Ekpo, to fete the people of Ikot Ekpene at
Independent Hall, Abak, Akpabio warned that the era of carry-go
politics is gone and urged the governor to brace itself for the big
task.

The former governor said he would only endorse Emmanuel’s
re-election, if the policies and programme were not discriminatory
against Ikot Ekpene.

He said some projects embarked on by his (Akpabio’s)
administration, including the multi-million naira Four
Points-by-Sheraton Hotel at Ikot Ekpene and the dualised Uyo-Ikot
Ekpene road had been abandoned by Governor Emmanuel.

However, Information and Strategy Commissioner Mr. Charles Udoh
warned against playing politics with development.
