Speaking with journalist in Uyo after the PDP national convention held in Oyo State at the weekend, the political tactician explained why the citizens and electorates should do aware with a government filled with deceit and failed promises.<\/p>\n
Engr Udoh noted that the said PDP convention was huge free and very successful and everyone should move forward despite element of opposition in the party as a result of FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike’s affiliation with APC and his loyalists, who are bent on tearing the PDP apart yet refused to resign or defected and leave PDP to do her business.<\/p>\n
On the face of current crisis plugging PDP, Engr Udoh said that the party will come out strong not just as strong opposition but also to win the 2027 election after putting its house in order based on ongoing restructuring and reformation in the party, citing Kebi state as example that PDP is seriously working together to ensure that the party stands tall, and Abia, Imo, Enugu, Rivers and Akwa Ibom are the five States in the country that PDP is going to reconstitute a new executives from State to Ward as a result of internal crisis, and maintained that PDP is very sure of winning future elections in the country because the electorates are still in love with PDP despite defection of some governors and their loyalists.<\/p>\n
On the national security of the country, Engr Udoh was the opinion that the present FG do not have a good policy to address security situations in the country going by incessant security threats in the country, citing the era of President Buhari to the present FG of President Tinubu, he said Nigeria need a new set of leaders to be able address the security challenge in the country since the present ones cannot help.
\nHe sympathize with the country’s leadership for not being awake to security challenge Nigeria is facing which now give room for foreign country like US to challenged the status quo. <\/p>\n
” So, that is what it is, they have been blinded completely, the don’t even see the need to help the people or what to do to stop the killings going on in the North-East.
\nSo, we need people that have conscience, people that are concerned about the people and that is why PDP will come in to help just like in the era of Goodluck Jonathan where issues of Niger Delta Militants was eminence, it is war, and we have to fight to stop it, we need a government who will come to claim back the land to the people specially areas that are prune to suspected terror attacks like the north east”<\/p>\n
He charged Nigerians to stand still and be prepared to vote the right people into power under PDP as the only party that has interest of the people at heart unlike the present government who remove fuel subsidee and then talked about palliative but bring about a bad policy and bad economy. And PDP will run a people government and not a situation where government is not accountable after taking from the people.<\/p>\n
On the electoral system, Engr. Udoh expressed the hope that the new INEC chairman will by God’s grace do justice to the mandate given him, and should come up with a new policy by comparing it to the past exercises and applied experience with technology and with time there shall be changes brought to bear in the electoral process and as such Nigerians and electorates would have better set of leaders to run people oriented leadership that will govern the country well.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, Eng Augustine Udoh said he has been a PDP member since 2003 though active in politics from 2015 he had observed meaningful and tangible developmental strides from previous government in Akwa Ibom right from Obong Victor Attah, Godswill Obot Akpbio to Udom Emmanuel but since the present governor Pastor Umo Eno came on board he hasn’t seen significant improvement in the infrastructural landmark of the state unlike his predecessors and wondering that if he could not achieved much while in PDP, how much then will he achieved having defected to APC with a promise to give the state Ibom Deep Seaport which is not visible as far as APC government is concerned, because anything APC is full with promise and failed. He then queried what the present governor will used to campaign for his second term like signature projects as elections time draws near.<\/p>\n
“How do you leave a peaceful party to join a rowdy party that doesn’t have good policy and plans for citizens, APC is bringing us hardship, porverty and people are dying more than before because of APC bad government, so we need PDP back to power in Akwa Ibom because Akwa Ibom is PDP and PDP is Akwa Ibom, we will be back, we will lead Akwa Ibom people back to their fortune, their success, their blessings and goodness”, he vowed.<\/p>\n
Engr Augustine Udoh then says he believed in enriching the people and not himself and that is what he wants for Akwa Ibom people and not a situation where politicians syphoned public assert and they don’t care about the citizens.<\/p>\n
He said contesting any election should not be based on personal interest but on God’s will and the people’s will because he believed in the prosperity of the people, and promised to offer further useful information and ideas that will engender good governance and development to Akwa Ibom State and Nigeria at large.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
