It is 5pm in Abuja, Nigeria and Right Honourable Onofiok Luke, amiable and popular Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly member representing Nsit Ubium state constituency, emerges winner at the Akwa Ibom elections petition tribunal.
The petition against Rt. Hon. Onofiok Luke filed by Barr C.T.Akpan was this evening, today, 7th September, struck out for being 'incompetent'. Barr
Victor C. Akpan of the All Progressives Congress (APC) had filed
against the second term election of the House member who ran on the platform of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP).
Public Opinion holds that this is essentially good news to the teeming Akwa Ibom youths to whom Onofiok Luke is a model, leader and mentor. To them, the lawmaker, who himself is a lawyer, is a picture of their aspirations - one whose successes symbolize victory for a quick thinking, smart and upwardly mobile generation.
Rarely has a politician of Hon. Onofiok's age been as loved by his people in West Africa. A business person, visiting Akwa Ibom from Lagos for investment interests in Uyo, and on meeting Hon Luke for a first time, said of him; "He was just like a fresh prince"
It is apparent, Hon. Luke He doesn't represent Nsit Ubium alone, as things are in Akwa Ibom - he speaks for Akwa Ibom people; loved by the aged and followed by the young. One can only imagine the celebrations that will rock Uyo tonight and into the Month of September.
We, at Public Opinion, wish him the best in his parliamentary duty term - and, of course, onward from there.
