be war.Speaking when he declared his intention to contest for a second term as
Governor of the state, he expressed hatred for people “boasting that Akwa
Ibom politics in 2019 would be like the invasion of Hitler”.
Speaking a few days ago in Aguobu-Owa, Ezeagu Local Government area of
Enugu State, Senator Godswill Akpabio had insinuated that the governorship
election in the state would be war, making reference to the Hitler
invasion.
However, Udom, while declaring his intention to run for a second term,
said such statements should not emanate from someone who wishes well for
the people, and therefore called on Holy Ghost fire to “burn them”.
Addressing the people, he said: “I hate human beings boasting that Akwa
Ibom politics in 2019 will be like war, the invasion of of Poland by
Hitler. Is that what you people want?
“Is that somebody who wishes well for the Akwa Ibom people? How can you
say you want to come and kill 6.2 million people because of politics? How
many people did Hitler kill? The only thing that they have for you is that
they want to come and kill Akwa Ibom people like Hitler. Is that politics?
Is that development? Is that industry? Is that what they are supposed to
do?
“So let’s burn them. Whoever is wishing Akwa Ibom a political situation of
2019, that Akwa Ibom will be like the invasion of Hitler, we say Holy
Ghost fire. Whoever is buying guns trying to kill our children, meanwhile
they’ve gone to hide their own children abroad, and they want to come and
kill our own, we say Holy Ghost fire.”
Udom’s declaration was attended by Nyesom Wike, Governor of Rivers State;
Okezie Ikpeazu, Governor of Abia State and Ramalan Yero, a former Governor
of Kaduna State, among others.
