‘State not indebted, A/Ibom gov performing’

The Chief Press Secretary to the Akwa Ibom State governor, Mr. Ekerete Udoh, has dismissed insinuation in the state that Governor Udom Emmanuel is under-performing due to a debt burden inherited from the immediate past administration. 

Udoh said the insinuation is false as the governor has kept to his campaign promise of industrializing the state and verifiable figures show that the state is not indebted in any way. 

Speaking Tuesday in Uyo on the achievement of the state governor, Udoh who said that Governor Emmanuel was contesting for a second term in the 2019 elections, reiterated that the notion of underperformance due to indebtedness was based on groundless hearsay.
