ETIM EKPO COUNCIL CHAIR ON RAMPAGE: DISSAUDES YOUTHS FROM REACTING TO THE ASSASINATION ATTEMPT ON EKPOUDOM SAYS DIG EKPOUDOM HAD INSULTED GOV AKPABIO. The chairman of the EssienUdim Local Government Council, MrUduot Jackhas attributed the failed assassination attempt on the Inspector EkeminiEkpoudom, cousin and personal assistant to retired DIG UdomEkpoudom, by a five-man gang of assassins at Abak, to the series of insults the retired police officer has heaped on Governor Akpabio in the past. Jack who made the reaction when he met with some select youths of EtimEkpo extraction at his Shelter Afrique residence told the youths that it was important for them to follow the true politicians in EtimEkpowho are in the corridors of power if they intend to reap the dividends of democracy. According to the Executive chairman, choosing to follow those whom he described as expired politicians and disgruntled elders who constantly hold on the act of insulting Governor GodswillAkpabio in an attempt to get cheap popularity will not only keep them very far from the corridors of power but might also blind their eyes from reality. Jack remarked. I thank all of you for coming to me first before going ahead with the plan to condemn the attack on the Personal Assistant to DIG Ekpoudom, Inspector Ekpoudom. Truth is, all of you are witnessesto the fact that after several years that Annangland had prayed for a Saviour, as an answer to our prayers, GodswillAkpabiowas sent to us. He came and turned around the infrastructures in our different communities. But then you realize that some Annang sons who should be standing shoulder to shoulder with him and giving the Governor all the support that he needs, they are the ones who have taken sides with the ibibios to fight the Governor and insult him the way they like. So I urge you to forget about condemning the action. Even the bible says that whatever a man soweth, same shall he reap. If you sow the wind, you will reap the whirlwind. When you not around when the DIG stood up at Abakat the last town hall meeting which was beamed on National Television, AIT to tell the whole world that the Governor was behind the attacks on the people. That was the greatest lie he ever told. Though I am strongly against the attempt on the life of EkeminiEkpoudom, I must also say that we should be very careful about the seeds we sow because sometimes, they grow to bear fruits we never imagined. So go home and continue to support the uncommon transformer in appreciation for his efforts in turning around our communities. It would be recalled that Barely a few days after Senator Helen Esuene escaped being assassinated by paid thugs when she visited EssienUdim to consult the PDP there, a cousin and personal Assistant to the retired Deputy Inspector General of Police, DIG UdomEkpoudom, Inspector EkeminiEkpoudom narrowly escaped being assassinated by a five-man hit squad at Abak. The attack which also came days after the retired Deputy Inspector General accompanied some elders of the PDP in AkwaIbom State led by Atuekong Don Etiebiet to brief the media on the extent at which Akpabio has stolen the resources of the state, unfortunately left the cousin to the DIG suffered bullet wounds on his legs. However, it was gathered that Inspector Ekemini had succeeded in killing one out of the five-man squad. Culled From THE GUIDE NEWSPAPER
