Godswill Akpabio
By Fidel Njamanze
Women in the Niger Delta region on Wednesday praised Senator Godswill
Akpabio for contributing immensely to the social, economic and political
development of the country.
“The picture in the Niger Delta
region is different. It has been thirty months of development and clear
evidence of competence.”
A statement issued in Port
Harcourt by the spokesperson of the Niger Delta Women Reconstruction Group
(NDWRC), Dr. Anitorufa Peremoboere commended the Minister of Niger Delta
Affairs for his exceptional commitment and performance.
The statement hailed Akpabio for
shouldering the heavy responsibility with calmness, giving his best for the
good of the Niger Delta people and pursuing with vigour and determination the
change agenda of the current administration.
“Senator Godswill Akpabio is a
beacon of hope and inspiration to the generality of our people.”
The women applauded Akpabio for
accelerating the growth of the region, strengthening administrative
infrastructure, improving staff quality and efficiency and working in complete
harmony with the National Assembly.
“No state is shut out in the
ministry’s development agenda.”
They praised the former Akwa Ibom
State governor for using his expertise and intellectual capacity to address
long standing challenges in the region.
‘’We need Senator Godswill Akpabio
in 2023. The former Akwa Ibom State governor will not run out of Nigeria. We’ll
put pressure on him to take part in the 2023 election. His name will be on the
All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential primary ballot’’
The women also commended him for
raising the standard of living of the people through water and electrification
schemes, road development, education and health-care delivery.
‘’We are most grateful to Senator
Godswill Akpabio for the peace of the region, construction of roads and
drainages and the well-being of the people’’
The statement emphasized hard
work, integrity, efficiency, dignity and discipline.
“We disagree in toto with the
points of view of some chronic grumblers outside the region.”
The women urged Akpabio’s critics
to reckon with the realities, cease advertising ignorance and living in a
fool’s paradise.’
“Akpabio’s critics do not believe
in development for the Niger Delta region.”
The statement also underscored the
mad ambition of some politicians to mount the saddle of NDDC leadership and to
share the resources to themselves and cronies.
“Not only there is a tendency to
compare the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) with North East
Development Commission (NEDC), but it appears to be the vogue of fake
contractors, corrupt politicians and their agents to prejudice the minds of
some Nigerians by deliberate lies and perversion of the truth.’’
