Following the release of the timetable for political activities leading up to the 2023 general elections, Mr. Linus Nkan, the Honorable Commissioner of Finance is optimistic that with Aniekan Uko, the puzzle of who will represent Uyo, Ibesikpo Asutan, Uruan, and Nsit Atai Federal constituency in the Green Chamber of the National Assembly is solved.
Stakeholders, delegates of the area, and particularly the would be adhoc delegates, have been advised to queue behind the former Speaker, and the current member representing Ibesikpo Asutan State Constituency in his bid to represent the people of Atai Uyo at the House of Representatives come 2023.
The Commissioner, who made the call in a statement on Monday, when Elder Aniekan Uko consulted him about his aspiration, said, the member has served Ibesikpo Asutan well as a representative and would surpass the exceptionally high standards he has already set for himself in the National Assembly.
Nkan said they would explore all meaningful partnership channels and opportunities to make sure Uko gets to the National Assembly to continue to represent and speak for the people of Atai Uyo.
He admonished the four Local Government Areas in the Federal Constituency to be guided by facts and not just sentiments which are oftentimes misleading.
In the exact words of the veteran banker-cum-politician, "Aniekan Uko is one man who has a track record that can stand up for any kind of honest scrutiny. He is the most suitable, acceptable, trusted and has delivered in his previous and current assignments, and the evidence of his empowerment is littered all over Ibesikpo Asutan and beyond."
Nkan however lamented that at the moment, Aniekan Uko has made his job very difficult for who will replace him in the House of Assembly. He affirmed that the shoes he will leave behind are very big, wondering how the shoes will fit his successor.
He spoke glowingly of Uko's quality and class. Hear him again: “Everybody knows Rt Hon Aniekan Uko, our dear Iboroakam is good in all ramifications.”
Describing the caliber of people who have since thrown their weight behind the aspirant, the Finance boss submitted, "this is the winning team."
Earlier, Hon. Etetim Ubom, the former chapter chairman of PDP, Ibesikpo Asutan LGA, who presented Aniekan Uko to the commissioner as a marketable aspirant for the plum job, said, Atai Uyo does not want a sleeping representative at the Green Chambers.
“He represented us well in the House of Assembly. He is vibrant and very brilliant and because of the grace Aniekan Uko carries, he may be the Speaker in the House of Reps,” Ubom highlighted.
On his part, the former Chapter Chairman of PDP, Uyo LGA, Hon. Atiku, prayed the commissioner to give Aniekan Uko on loan for 8 years to Atai Uyo after representing Ibesikpo Asutan well. “We are begging you to release him for us so that he can go to the National Assembly and create more millionaires for us in Uyo federal constituency”.
In his remarks, the former chairman of PDP in Nsit Atai, Bishop Ime Ekpe argued that none in his Local Government Area is capable to be compared with Aniekan Uko's prowess in legislative business. He appealed to the commissioner to endorse him for the plum job, saying, Aniekan has a prospect through his age, even as he assured that Nsit Atai is solidly behind his aspiration.
Also, the former chairman of PDP, Uruan LGA, Hon. Emmanuel Atakpo maintained that the front-line aspirant has more than enough delegates around him to win the House of Representatives' primary, which is coming up in the next few months.
The Director-General of the Campaign Organization, Hon. Vincent Udo said, Aniekan Uko will be a Voice at the green chamber. He said Uko has given his modest contributions to the development of Ibesikpo Asutan, Akwa Ibom, and Nigeria.
The highly elated aspirant, Rt. Hon. Aniekan Uko told his people that his pacesetting exploits and legacies were glaring for all men and women of goodwill to judge.
He beseech the people that he has once again offered himself to serve the interest of the people he cares for so much, promising to offer effective and effectual representation at the National Assembly.
