The Akwa Ibom State chapter of the All Progressives
Congress, APC has appealed to the Akwa Ibom State governor Mr Udom Emmanuel to
wade into the crises rocking the Special Assistant to the President on Senate
Matters, Barr Ita Enang.
Speaking on a radio interview monitored in Uyo, Engr. Ita
Awak the APC spokes person said it would be unfortunate if the State governor
failed to help save Ita Enang from his present predicament.
“We cannot allow our only son in the presidency to be
vilified and rubbished. Akwa Ibom State government should rise up and protect
Ita Enang.
Even if what he did was wrong, it is our responsibility as a state
to protect the only voice at the corridors of power which we can call our own.”
Ita Awak who lamented that another son of Akwa Ibom decent,
Chief Edet Nkpubre had earlier failed to get support from the then governor,
Godswill Akpabio when he vied to contest as deputy national chairman, said the
present government should not allow Ita Enang to incur wrath of the President.
He said the PDP government under Chief Godswill Akpabio did
not show love to Akwa Ibom people by siting the Federal Polytechnic in Essien
Udim instead of Ibiono Ibom local government area, and asked people of the
state to support APC.
It could be recalled that the State government had recently
begged President Buhari to forgive and pardon Ita Enang amidst calls for his
sack, following the discovery of forgery and theft involving the national
budget.
