How Emmanuel’s projects influenced voting in Ikot Ekpene vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
Given the general opinion that Akpbaio focused much of his development projects in his Ikot Ekpene Senatorial District, it would then have been taken for granted that his successor would overlook the region in his development projects.
Whereas people from outside senatorial districts said that Ikot Ekpene Senatorial District got the lion share of development projects and appointments, it subsequently emerged that that even within the senatorial district that some local governments were totally left out. Even the controversial Four-Point by Sheraton Hotel Akpabio tried to set up in Ikot Ekpenebut did not complete is now being completed by Governor Emmanuel.
The Emmanuel administration has also ensured that areas that did not benefit from road constructions in the past have benefited. Those in Abak Local Government Area who thought that the area had been abandoned by successive governments in Akwa Ibom have been soothed by the establishment of a fertilizer blending factory in the locality.
And his development strides appear to have won him confidence of majority of Akwa Ibom people and dwarfed the few dissenting voices expectedly from the opposition All Progressives Congress, APC, whose campaign had been hinged mostly on charisma and violence.
