Akwa Ibom News Online Commentary

The new democratic dispensation has begins with the returning of Ukpabio, (the lamp of Annang), sir, you are highly welcome to your undoubted position, as you come in again, the entire citizen hope for development and better live in the state, especially Annang in particular. In the past four year of administration, the government had tried to some extent but more are till needed for the interest of the general citizens in area of allocation of social amenities in every part of the state. The government of akwa ibom state has been centralising amenities in the state since the inception of akwa ibom state, only few are allocation in other element. This act has become obsession and blatant as it is becoming the system of akwa ibom state government which need to be reviewed for the benefit of the citizens, because if the system is allow to rule, it may lead to political motivations and vendetta. The reviewer of this act will bring peace to stay in the state because when everybody are treated equally, there will be no cause of alarm. Love and peace will reign among the citizens.

In a state of tree tribe, amenities need to be distributed equally to all to ensure equal right to all citizens. When this is done there will be stability, discriminations such as annang and ibibio, political violent will turn history.

But the selfish interest of our pasts sadistic leaders has develop everybody's ambition of being a leader in order to fight for himself and the family since the congregations are no more benefiting from the alter. This has result in killing and kidnapping in politics in order to gain chance of becoming a leader even when not capable of being...

However, in this new regime, the government should make major budget in annang tribes to enhance development in the area as Ibibio this. The major amenities such as sea port, air port, university, Mobil and so many others are located in ibibio land, the only major thing in annang is the polytechnic in Ikot Asudua, Ikot ekpene , this is the major city in annang kingdom but nothing to boost about it compare to uyo in ibibio land. It is high time akwa ibom government should take action of development in annang because the people need to what their counterparts are enjoying in state.

This act of centralization is as a result of the fact that the early time administration site was highly occupy by the ibibios, then the annang was highly underrated by the ibibios; seeing annang people as fools and not capable of handling any administration position in the state, for this reason limit government amenities to the area alone leaving other part of the state in jungle.

But today annang has wake up to posses their possession in their state. Moreover, that is not all, akwa ibom till need more to develop the standard of living of their people such as stadium, more schools, companies, industries and others. Annang, especially ikot ekpene should be remembered during the establishment these amenities in the state to bring it in class with uyo and eket and also bring dignities to the people occupying the area.

If these are done, peace and stability will have a proper position in the state, the though of secession will stopped.
