COVID-19 AND THE WITCHCRAFTCY OF AKWA IBOM APC

At a time when the world is faced with the challenge of combatting the existence of a dreaded monster called COVID-19. Humanity both old and young, rich and poor, white and black, high and low, is faced with the reality of the unknown, thereby seeking collaboration across board.

At a time when the advantaged citizens reaches out to the poor/needy and the vulnerable ones, that is the time our dear APC in Akwa Ibom State has chosen to display their high level witchcraftcy.

During the build up to the 2019 general elections, the All Progressives Congress, APC in Akwa Ibom presented themselves as the Messiahs of Akwa Ibom. They deceived and induced many expired politicians, over-ambitious, impatient, and selfish young men who thought that breaking out of a leadership structure and forming theirs is a shortcut to success.

They flashed a picture of hope to takeover the rulership of the State where they will mortgage the resources of the State and the destinies of our common people. But at last, it backfired and they all entered one chance.

Having lost in their devilish conceived dream to hold Akwa-Abasi Ibom State captive, the APC in has resorted to blackmailing both themselves and the state as a means of avenging their unprecedented and woeful lost.

What they now do is employ a few of their supposed intellectuals who are gifted with the act and art of blackmail to continually insult the very position they wished for(which will continually remain a wish for them), being the seat of the number one citizen of the state.

However, one would wonder at a time like this, when the world is terribly plaqued, and the people live in fear, which has forced various Governments of the world to take precautionary measures against the raving COVID-19, the APC in Akwa Ibom State has chosen this same time to create unnecessary panic, fear, deceptions, confusion, tension, uncoordinated lies, hatred, wickedness and above all witchcraftcy in the minds of gullible Akwa Ibomites.

In times like this where everyone is trying to show love and care to their people to cushion the effect of the “LOCKDOWN” which they clamoured for, NOT EVEN ONE APC CHIEFTAIN from this state has reached out to their members and supporters. Their social media influencers who jilted Obong Nsima Ekere heavily with promises of ensuring he clinches the Number one seat in the state(Governor), who ended up enriching their pockets, and their leaders enlarge their bank accounts… (Oh Obong Nsims Ekere!) has refused extend their ill-gotten wealth to their own people.

And I ask, “Akwa Ibom APC, who did this to us? Why have we decided to live a life of continuous envy, hatred and bitterness against one another? Can’t the APC think that as the PDP is reaching out at different levels to the people, that if they add theirs, it will go along way to reaching every one? Instead of doing this, they’ve formed a Confraternity of Bitterness which their orientation is to comb for faults, discredit Government, raise false alarms, and insult the Governor of the State, and also leading negative campaigns against the Government as if it was Udom Emmanuel that brought COVID-19 into the world.

Then when its time for elections, they’ll will come out with various intimidating lies, blackmail, deception and empty noise everywhere, thinking that the people are fools that they can fool anytime they want. Noooooooo! It doesn’t work that way. They can’t fool all the people all the times, they know who has been there for them at all times, and they will naturally follow them.

Dear Akwa Ibom People, you have eyes, you have seen who has been there for you at various times and levels. Keep supporting them (the PDP). Akwa Ibom is blessed with a Governor who is most sort after in times of global economic conspiracies like we are seeing today. Udom Emmanuel is an ASSET in the global economic forums where the economies of different nations in the world are being discussed.

Don’t listen to those people, they are liars, detractors, enemies of the state who are constantly waiting to devour any power drunk individual who feels that breaking out of the UMBRELLA that covered him all the while to become a king amongst the house boy who goes around with brooms.

Udom Emmanuel cares! He sincerely loves Akwa Ibom, and he’s ever ready to bring in the best into Akwa Ibom to ensure that he changes the narrative of the state from a CIVIL SERVICE STATE to an INDUSTRIAL HUB where big entrepreneurs in the world would wish to make Akwa Ibom State their destination.

Stay Safe! Udom Emmanuel cares!! This too shall pass away, and we shall sing the songs of victory.
