We, the undersigned, call on all fans, friends, supporters, families,
relatives and patriotic citizens of Akwa Ibom State and Nigeria both
at home and the Diaspora to support His Excellency, Sen. (Dr) Godswill
Obot Akpabio, CON to succeed in his political career as the Senate
Minority Leader and the leader of opposition party in the National
Assembly.
This call is initiated by concerned and patriotic citizens of our
great country to counter a recent sponsored print and social media
offensive on our respected and revered leader and elder statesman by
some faceless individuals to tarnish his image and reputation for
cheap political reason. This sponsored campaign of calumny has been
going on for the past one year and few months, hence we resolved to
put a STOP to it.
Transformational leaders are celebrated globally for the legacies they
left behind. Late Singaporean leader, Lee Kuan Yew and Nelson Mandela
of South Africa are typical example of leaders whose legacies stand
the taste of time and Sen. Godswill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom State is no
exemption. Being a leader brings with it a responsibility to do
something of significance that make families, communities, nations,
and the world a better place than one met it year after he might left
the scene. Lee Kuan Yew did it in Singapore, Nelson Mandela did it in
South Africa and Godswill Akpabio is not wanting in this regard as he
has conscientiously formulated and executed policies and programs that
impact meaningfully on the lives of citizenry. Through his leadership
attributes, he has been able to raise the bar of democratic governance
in Nigeria and improve the self-worth of an average Akwa Ibom person
to stand shoulder to shoulder among equals from other states.
Akpabio has accomplished where many have failed. Today, his
personality, pedigree and political instinct have earned him both
national and global credentials, virtually printing his name in gold
as a leader who has uncommonly transformed his society for good.
During his administration, he embarked on massive infrastructural
development, human capacity development, investment in healthcare
delivery services, free and compulsory education for both primary and
secondary school level which is the only state in Nigeria with such a
laudable investment. Through investment in education, Godswill Akpabio
has affected mass of families, especially by paying the examination
fees. This investment is one seed government has sown into the future
of Akwa Ibom people. It is a long term investment that would bring
massive harvest in future. Hear him,
“The labours of today would be inherited by the children of today and
we need to prepare them for that day so that our legacies would be in
safe hands tomorrow. That is why we have invested massively in
educational infrastructure to complement our free and compulsory
education policy. This is for all children resident in our state
irrespective of their state of origin.” - GODSWILL AKPABIO, CON
When Godswill Akpabio set out on the journey to change the fortunes of
Akwa Ibom people, he never expected that his modest effort will come
under the searchlight of revered academic institutions and
organizations. But during his administration as the governor of Akwa
Ibom State, his outstanding achievements attracted honours, awards and
accolades from across board. He is a celebrated Hero and Elder
Statesman and we must accord him that respect.
We call on those who have genuine grievances to remember that we
cannot grow as a nation in the atmosphere of chaos and violence. We
believe that we can address all our challenges by submitting to good
reason and dialoguing to find the way out of the contending issues
rather than embark on media trial and mudslinging to tarnish his image
as such move will meet stiff opposition.
OUR APPEAL - We therefore demand for one million (1,000,000)
signatures from all his fans across Nigeria and the Diaspora to stand
up with Sen. Godswill Obot Akpabio against the sponsored campaign of
calumny to tarnish his image by political jobbers and faceless
activists. Godswill Akpabio is a revered LEADER and ELDER STATESMAN
and we have no other option than to celebrate him till his last breath
on planet earth.
