The Akwa Ibom State
Chapter of the PDP has called on the publicity secretary of the APC Mr Ita Awak
to desist from fraudulently evading taxation, by using a state government plate
number on his car more than 13 years after leaving office as commissioner.
Publicity Secretary of
the PDP Comrade Ini Ememobong in an interview in Uyo, faulted the claims by
Mr Awak that the government of Mr Udom Emmanuel was not fair in the
distribution of political powers to the sections in the State.
On the contrary, Mr
Ememobong said that the PDP had allotted the positions across the three different
senatorial districts in the State, quite unlike the APC at the national level
that left virtually all sensitive and top positions for a particular section of
the country.
On the issue of
salary, Ememobong said that Akwa Ibom state remains one of the few states where
salaries are paid as at when due, whereas the APC –led federal government has
been owing federal workers in the past few months.
“Even when the APC led
federal government cannot pay full salary, the PDP led government in Akwa Ibom State is paying full salaries to her workforce. APC should applaud our
Governor, Mr Udom Emmanuel for this”
He urged Ita Awak to
desist from using tribal sentiments to divide the peaceful and cordial relationship
among Akwa Ibom people, adding that the people of the state.
He argured that, "If he says that the
Speaker Onofiok Luke is from Nsit Ubium, and as such the PDP chairman should
not come from Etinan, was the Speaker not from Etinan when the PDP chairman was
from Etinan, why then did he support his aspirant Mr Umana Umana who was then
in PDP and hails from Nsit Ubium?"
“So all his
allegations smack hypocrisy and are geared towards maligning the common
ancestry that we all share in this state.”
The PDP spokesman
urged the APC publicity scribe to convene a meeting of ethnic groups and
discuss ethnicity on a different platform with traditional rulers rather than attempt
to use ethnic lines to score political points
