He also expressed confidence that the governor, Pastor Umo Eno as promised would maintain his stand on granting a level playing field to all parties during the polls even as he expressed reservations on the fairness of the AKISIEC chairman, Ikoiwak following “his antecedents”.

Enang who claimed that “Akwa Ibom is APC but unfortunately governed by the PDP”, said the party has quality candidates who are not only ready to win elections but have the capacity to bring in dividends of democracy like tarring of roads, promotion of agriculture, management of local education authority among others, which he claimed were not carried out by the PDP council members.

He said, “On 18th of September we will formally flag off local government elections campaign of the All Progressives Congress at the township stadium, Ikot Ekpene.

“We are confident that the President having taken the bold step of ensuring the autonomy of local governments from states government and ensuring that government of Nigeria is run at three tiers as ought to be – Federal Government, state government, and local government – and having rescued the states, the local government, from the claws and the kidnap of the states, that we are confident that we are to contest and we will win the elections in all the 31 LGAs in Akwa Ibom State.

“We are more than them. Akwa Ibom is APC state. Only, unfortunately, controlled by the PDP state government. We respect that they are in charge as government but we are more than them. So, we want to display our majority, our strength and our capacity in the oncoming local government elections.

“I’m sure you’ve not been satisfied with the performance of the local governments in Akwa Ibom State. Local governments have capacity under the law to tar roads, to do culverts, to manage local education authority, to repair and build schools, to embark on agriculture, produce food, to work and take part on land matters in local government, issuing customary rental capacity. But that has not happened in Akwa Ibom State.”
