...as Hon. Aniekan Bassey, Mr. Okon Okon and Ors release Thugs on Uruan- PDP Chapter Chairman

The political atmosphere in Uruan has been suspended in a cloud of tension.

At about 8pm last evening, while attending a social gathering in the company of party faithfuls of Uruan extraction, the Uruan PDP chapter Chairman, (Prince) Obot Okon Essien was attacked by a team of thugs and mercenaries and left at the point of death, lying in the pool of his own blood.

As at press time, Mr. Obot Essien who was rescued by passersby is lying unconscious at a medical facility in Uyo, undisclosed for fear of a finish-up attack; having sustained several severe bodily injuries to vital body parts like the eyes, face, ribs etc.

This dastardly act which is rumoured to be sponsored by the incumbent Hon. Aniekan Bassey was perpetrated by a terror- squad that came in company of Mr. Okon Okon, the State Internal Revenue boss, a strong canvasser for the Aniekan Bassey aspirations.

The terror- squad which was headed by Mr Joe Obot, an erstwhile transition secretary in Uruan council transfered same aggression to others present, who sustained minor injuries too. Dr. Eventus Edem (a former Uruan Council Chairman), who was present at the scene narrowly escaped being lynched by the same propagators of terror.

Mr. Obot Essien who was attacked while making a speech, extolling the leadership virtues of Gov. Emmanuel, has been a target of pre-meditated attacks recently, because of his political stance on equity and fairness even as displayed in the just concluded party ad-hoc delegate elections; against the primitive practice of plundering the electioneering process against the peoples choices.

While the Aniekan Bassey's camp are jubilating over the sad event and adopting the recent "Warsaw" cliche, promising more reins of terror (even on Uruan Alert, a WhatsApp social media- pictures atyached), shock and apprehensions have enveloped the minds of the political class in Uruan-Inyang-Atakpo, as never in the history of Uruan has the political narrative condescended so low as to employ Machavaillan and bloodletting practices to terrorize the political landscape and coerce other credible aspirants and their supporters into submission.

This deployment of brute "Warsaw" tactics by the Hon. Aniekan Bassey's camp comes in the wake of targetted violence perpetrated against Mr. Ekemini Ukim, a supporter of a fellow HoA aspirant by the Ibesikpo- Asutan incumbent House of Assembly man, Rt. Hon. Aniekan Uko. These trends cast aspersions on the methodology adopted by these two incumbent HoA members, whose friendship in the Akwa Ibom House of Assembly is not in doubt.

Little wonder that rumour mills the probability of these duo negotiating for slots in the opposition party. The question thus raised in the mind of the people is that of loyalty to the Gov. Udom Emmanuel's Divine Mandate by these two friends, when they exhibit tendencies, which are very averse to the governor's ideologies.

The vast Uruan populace calls on every authority and the State Government to mediate in this matter so as to arrest the new spate of terrorism that has been released on the Atakpo land by Hon. Aniekan Bassey, for injury to one is injury to all.

SOUTH SOUTH FACTS
