Akwa Ibom Communities Clash Over Senator Akpabio's Billboard

Akwa Ibom communities are embroiled in a clash over a billboard displaying Senator Godswill Akpabio, with the Ekid People's Union opposing its presence in Eket. The Union criticizes Akpabio, describing him as a politically empty figure and accusing him of neglecting the region.

In response, Mr. Diamond Akpanika, an elder spokesperson, defends Akpabio's leadership qualities and contributions to Akwa Ibom and Nigeria. The clash highlights underlying political tensions and accusations of sabotage against development projects in the state.

Akpanika commends Governor Umo Eno for his stance on the issue and urges unity and political maturity among interest groups in Eket.
