WHO IS AFRAID OF THE UMBRELLA OF UNITY -UOU? We would like at this point to make it abundantly clear that the speculation about the involvement of the former SSG in financial wrongdoing(s) in the offices of the AG and Chairman BIR should not be seen as an isolated attempt at casting aspersion on the reputation of Umana Okon Umana. In the last three months, forces that are not comfortable with the rising popularity of the former SSG and his growing political clout have resorted to smear campaigns to blackmail and stop him from pursuing his political aspiration. First, they came with a bogus story about debt to AMCON by a company in which Umana is not a director, and when that did not fly they sought to frame him up with a petition to the authorities in Abuja that the former SSG was importing arms to foment trouble in the state. Both plans failed because they were erected on quick sands of falsehood. In all of this, we need to ask what the real offence is that Umana Okon Umana has committed to warrant the most vicious, most unrelenting campaign of persecution against a private citizen in the history of our state. The real offence is that Mr. Umana has dared to exercise his right like any other citizen to aspire to the office of governor of the state. I would like the good people of Akwa Ibom State to know that with God we shall prevail. They should continue to trust in Him, support Umana Okon Umana and ignore all the baseless lies being fomented against him. Signed: Iboro Otongaran Media Adviser to Umana Okon Umana
