Udom Emmanuel not planning to join APC, group tells Enang

The Akwa Ibom Liberation Movement (ALIM) has advised presidential aide, Ita Enang to emulate Akwa Ibom state governor, Udom Emmanuel, on bipartisan partnership that would benefit the general good

In a statement signed by the group’s publicity secretary, Bassey J. Ndon, AILM said Emmanuel is always exploring a bipartisan approach and inter party collaboration by inviting the Vice President and the Senate President to commission laudable people oriented projects.

AILM reminded Enang that Emmanuel has repeatedly stated clearly that he cannot and will never leave the prevailing peace, progress, growth and development that the PDP represents, to embrace the “uncertainty of the APC” but that he will continue to seek and explore areas of partnership and mutual collaboration for the benefit of the state and country.

The group called on Enang to accept the painful reality that neither Emmanuel nor any sensible Akwa Ibom person will ever contemplate leaving the umbrella party.

“To dream is free and Senator Ita Enang is free to dream but we expected the Senator to know where illusion and reality starts and stops,” the statement read.

“That the Governor is always exploring a bipartisan approach and inter party collaboration by inviting the Vice President and the Senate President to commission laudable people oriented projects should not make Senator Enang delusional but should rather encourage him to use such skills to get his much talked about Calabar Itu highway with spur at Ididep constructed. Afterall, is the road not Ita Enang’s trademark and legacy?

“We urge Ita Enang to exibit the spirit of sportsmanship as exemplified by Governor Udom Emmanuel and feel free to bring up possible areas of collaboration with the State Government that will help him achieve the reconstruction and rehabilitation of the Calabar Itu highway and any other project that will benefit the people as this is the philosophy of the Governor which has worked well for the state and has achieved alot for the people that even the Vice President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo on several occasions have admitted to the selfless disposition of the Governor when it comes to development which has silently triggered the industrial revolution Akwa Ibom State is witnessing which has made the state “Nigeria’s Best Kept Secret”

“Governor Udom Emmanuel has repeatedly stated clearly that he cannot and will never leave the prevailing peace, progress, growth and development that the PDP represents, to embrace the uncertainty of the APC but that he will continue to seek and explore areas of partnership and mutual collaboration for the benefit of the state and country.”
