NTEKIM DECLARED AMBITION, REAFFIRM CALLS FOR EQUITY


Ekpenyong Ntekim, Esq. Declares for 2015 election 

2015 GOVERNORSHIP: TOGETHER WE CAN

Exactly 5 years ago, I had the privilege of being invited by His Excellency, Chief Godswill Akpabio, CON, to be a member of his uncommon transformation team in pursuit of a new Akwa Ibom State. I am very grateful to His Excellency for the golden opportunity to serve, and will ever cherish his consideration of my worth. The abiding fruits of the charismatic political leadership of this administration, which comes to a constitutional end on 29 May 2015, are simply beyond measure. 


However, the responsibility is on us to remind ourselves why finishing right and strong the job, so commendably in progress, remains significant. With the massive infrastructural interventions of the last few years bearing desired fruits in the crescendo to which Akwa Ibom State has been justifiably raised, both friends and foes are watching to see whether, as a people, we have the resolve to continue to faithful completion the uncommon transformation agenda or would be fatigued out by political inexpediency and naïvety. Make no mistake, the progress so far made is as significant as the task ahead is onerous. 

However, I am confident we can achieve the goal of successful continuity in an atmosphere of shared sacrifice and efforts, and I trust in our capacity to rise to the occasion. Indeed, together we can!

It is imperative, in light of my dedication to the core values of public service, that I be transparent with you on my future political engagements, especially as I cannot take on a commitment I do not desire to honour. 

Over the past several months, I have been encouraged to give unremitting thought to seeking the mandate to be the Governor of Akwa Ibom State in 2015. This has now graduated to a commanding course of action that I am to sedulously pursue. Therefore, in the days, weeks and months ahead, I verily look forward to consulting with the leadership of my party, the Peoples Democratic Party and the good people of Akwa Ibom State at different fora to discuss, with unmitigated determination and steadfastness, my thoughts and plans for Akwa Ibom State, if it pleases God, to whom power belongs, to favour me with its grant.


I urge you, my beloved brethren, to remain fast and firm as the gospel of fairness, equity, equality and justice in the political landscapes of Akwa Ibom State unfolds. 

Many thanks.

Long live Akwa Ibom State!
Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria!!

Ekpenyong Ntekim, Esq.

AKWA IBOM CHILD RIGHTS LAW

The Akwa Ibom State Child Rights Law The Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Obong Godswill Akpabio, on 5th December, 2008 signed the child rights act into law to protect the growth of perceptual, emotional, intellectual, and behavioural capabilities and functioning during childhood of Akwa Ibom children under 16 years.
