Calabar - Itu Road: Senator Ita Enang has Indicted President Buhari - Group

A socio-political organization based in Uyo, Akwa Ibom Liberation Movement, AILM, says the Senior Special Assistant to President on Niger Delta, Senator Ita Enang, by calling on the presidency to compel Governor Emmanuel to construct Calabar Itu high has questioned President Mohammedu Buhari's true intention on the road.

The group reasoned that this is an indictment of the president and calls to question all efforts made by federal government on the dilapidated federal road just before the 2019 elections.
Speaking in Uyo, the group’s Secretary-General, Solomon Abasiekong Esq., said Senator Enang, having given himself to frivolities as seen in his letter, has made people question Buhari’s sincerity in constructing Calabar - Itu road.

“We are forced to ask what Ita Enang has turned himself to. Enang’s recent demand for Governor Emmanuel's assistance in the construction of Calabar Itu road is an indirect indictment on the so called integrity of President Mohammedu. It shows that either the President was lying to the people of Akwa Ibom State or was using the road to curry support for his reelection.

“Does it mean Ita Enang was not given briefs for his new office as Special Assistant to President on Niger Delta Affairs? Everyone had expected Enang to get so busy in his new office instead of delving into frivolities. It is either Enang doesn’t know what to or does not have what to do.
“Ita Enang must realize that elections are over, as such he should be tired of spewing lies. He should see how to press forward the needs of Niger Deltans to the presidency.

“Akwa Ibom people are satisfied with the transparent nature of Governor Udom Emmanuel’s administration, as such, we have no question for whatever he uses Akwa Ibom money to do because he has the people’s interest at heart", the statement read in parts.

ITA ENANG AND HIS INCONGRUOUS 'BUSY BODY' LETTER

Few days ago, Akwa Ibom people woke up to read an absurd letter authored by the Senior Special Assistant to President on Niger Delta Affairs, Senator Ita Enang,advising the presidency to stop Governor Udom Emmanuel from going further to extend the airport road to 8 lanes.

As a shown in the letter, Senator Enang's reasoning has deteroriated to into bizarre logic, which could immediately be seen as he struggles to suggest to the Federal Government to compel Governor Emmanuel to inject such fund into constructing Calabar Itu high way.

Ita Enang knows that the Calabar - Itu Road project is among many lies that will continue to haunt him and his governorship aspiration as such he is seeking whatever means to get it done. It can be recalled that Enang, in October 2019, while fielding questions from Journalists in Uyo, urged the people to remain calm, assuring that the contractor, Julius Berger, would soon return to site after the rains.

He disclosed that the federal government had awarded the contract for the construction of the road since 2017, however, only N3 billion was released in 2018 budget.

He explained that the total span of the road from Odukpani Junction in Cross River to Ibiakpan Junction in Ikot Ekpene, Akwa Ibom was about 22 kilometres with a cost of about N51 billion.

“We have taken steps to ensure Julius Berger returns to site. In 2019 budget, we secured N3.9 billion but much has not been released to the contractor.”

We are forced to ask what Ita Enang has turned himself to. Enang’s recent demand for Governor Emmanuel's assistance in the construction of Calabar Itu road is an indirect indictment on the integrity of President Mohammedu. It shows that either the President was lying to the people of Akwa Ibom State or was using the road to curry support for his reelection.

Does it mean Ita Enang was not given briefs for his new office as Special Assistant to President on Niger Delta Affairs? Everyone had expected Enang to get so busy in his new office instead of delving into frivolities. It is either Enang doesn’t know what to or does not have what to do.

Ita Enang must realize that elections are over, as such he should be tired of spewing lies. He should see how to press forward the needs of Niger Deltans to the presidency.

Akwa Ibom people are satisfied with the transparent nature of Governor Udom Emmanuel’s administration, as such, we have no question for whatever he uses Akwa Ibom money to do because he has the people’s interest at heart.
Enang should not behave like his name implies, he should think before he acts.

Of course it was just to curry support for reelection.

I will support anybody but Buhari.

nice one

When I say Pmb failed on roads I mean it

One chance!!!!

Chai.
God help my people in Itu because they have almost been annexed.
Go to parts of Mbak Atak Itam in Itu and ask yourself if civilization is a mirage.

But just like Anambra state, AKS has tried on road delivery.
Each administration consolidates on the progress of the former.

The good thing is that they use good construction firms like Julius Berger and Peculiar Consult unlike some governors who award road construction contacts to their friends who have never built a gutter in their lives.

It's a shame that neighbouring Abia state is a far cry from from AKS in terms of good roads.
In fact, the only way to know you've entered Abia state from Akwa Ibom state is the horrible roads.
From the Oborro Ikwuano axis to the Itumbuuzo-Bende axis down to the Amuvi-Ikpe axis.

GEJ nko ooo

Jus lukat human beings.........very anyhow human beings

Nigerians can say whatever they like.

But, I must confess (as a frequent road user) that Federal roads (some of you see State and Local government roads as Federal) are better in this administration than in GEJ's administration.

If it hasn't reached your side, calm down, work is currently ongoing in all federal roads.

I am neither PDP nor APC
