Udom, Akpabio and the Uyo-Ikot Ekpene Road
Now let me be clear. The reason for this piece is two-fold. Firstly, to call out Udom Emmanuel for the blatant and malicious lie that he met the Uyo-Ikot Ekpene Road at 20 percent completion; secondly, Udom Emmanuel’s ingratitude and continued disdain for a man whom God used to bring him from obscurity to statehood.

For no matter how you spin the God or destiny tale, there would never have been a Udom Emmanuel as governor without Godswill Obot Akpabio.
An unknown banker, not even at the zenith of his profession, brought forward by divine accident through the instrumentality of Akpabio, should at least know when to stop the vile of ingratitude that has eaten his intestines since that day in August 2018, when Akpabio chose another path.
Some of us may not be aware of the extent of the battle Akpabio fought to make Udom Governor. Even when he was rejected by Akpabio’s kitchen cabinet as unsellable, Akpabio remained defiant, tasking his close childhood friend with the responsibility of fact-checking the feedback. I remember how this friend crisscrossed the length and breadth of Akwa Ibom , day and night, dragging Udom by the tail, from one top politician to the other in this same Akwa Ibom. Believe it or not, it was the representation of this close friend that finally sealed the Udom governorship. So God decreed. But he used Akpabio. That is the irrefutable truth or is it not?

Now, when a man deploys a single-minded purpose to move a person from a mere spec to the colors of a spectacle, that man deserves some gratitude no matter the differences. Telling lies against that man and doing everything to cause hatred for him is surely beneath the spiritual law of forgiveness
