The governorship candidate of the Young Progressives Party ( YPP), Senator Albert Bassey Akpan (OBA), has challenged Akwa Ibom people to learn to hold government accountable by asking valid questions about their common patrimony.
He made the charge on August 27, 2022 at the official inauguration of the state office of a socio-political group, Akwa Ibom Unity Forum, in Uyo.
He said the impoverished masses should be curious enough to find out what the recent allocations that came into the state were used for.
“I am aware N47 billion came into this state. The last one was N171 billion. Governor Wike who is receiving the same amount has constructed more than ten flyovers and has developed the state. What about our own?”, he queried.
While responding to a comment, the Senator described his gubernatorial mission as the will of God to rescue the state.
He said the new group was a body after his heart, and encouraged the members to work hard to take their destinies in their hands. "Because of your hardwork, God will make me a Governor", he prayed.
The cordinator of the support group and former Chairman of Ukanafun Local Government, Hon. Uko Idiong, described Senator Bassey Albert Akpan as the only man that will change Akwa Ibom for the better.
He said nothing on earth, except God, will stop OBA from emerging as the Governor of Akwa Ibom State.
According to him, “everyone you meet on the street, in the offices; wherever you ask: ‘who will be the next Governor of Akwa Ibom State’, the answer is: Bassey Albert!”
Hon. Idiong said people have been trooping into his office to declare support for OBA, and assured the governorship candidate that the people are eagerly waiting to support him at the poll.
"We will not sleep until we make you the Governor of Akwa Ibom State", he assured the Senator.
BOT chairman of the body, Mr. Charles Ndanyongmong, equally assured OBA that the forum will work tirelessly to ensure he emerges the next Governor of the state.
"We have so many PDP and APC people who have been coming here to register their support for you", he told OBA.
