\nMatters, Chief Ita Solomon Enang has commended President Muhamadu Buhari
\nfor fulfilling his promises to Akwa Ibom State.<\/p>\n
Speaking in an interview with journalists today in Uyo, Sen Enang said the
\nPresident has delivered enough democracy dividends to Akwa Ibom in line
\nwith its position as the highest revenue earner for the country.<\/p>\n
Senator Enang who listed the projects executed by the President to include
\nthe N56bn Calabar \u2013Itu \u2013Ikot Ekpene Road with a spur to Ididep, the $11bn
\nLagos \u2013 Uyo- Calabar railroad project\u00a0 as well as the appointments of
\nprominent indigenes into prominent federal positions.<\/p>\n
Maintaining that the country has never had it so good, he urged that
\nBuhari be supported to for a second term so that he can complete all the
\nlofty visions he has started in the state.<\/p>\n
Ita Enang said he went to Atlanta Georgia to represent the President at
\nthe annual convention of the Akwa Ibom State Association of Nigeria, USA
\nInc,(AKISAN).<\/p>\n
The presidential aide\u00a0 \u00a0said he mesmerized AKISAN with all the
\nachievements of President Buhari and called for support for him.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe President had what to account for, and he sent me to the AKISAN
\nConvention plenary to give account to Akwa Ibom State indigenes in USA\u201d<\/p>\n
While acknowledging the contributions of Governor Udom Emmanuel in the
\nState, Senator Enang however said the credit should go to President Buhari
\nwho released the state\u2019s allocation to the Governor.<\/p>\n
\u201cCredit should be given to President Buhari for giving Akwa Ibom State
\nGovernment money to construct toothpicks factory , tomatoes farm , cattle
\nranch, and the roads.\u201d<\/p>\n
This according to Mr Enang, was because the, \u201cState Government is
\noperating a feeding bottle economy to FG and doesn’t have an internally
\ngenerated revenue\u00a0 that could be accounted for ”<\/p>\n
“Akwa Ibom people should be inquisitive to how the money allotted to them
\nby the Federal Government is used by their governor,\u201d Enang added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
