The Akwa Ibom State chapter of the All Progressives Congress Progressives Youth Forum (APC PYF) has made a passionate appeal to Senate President Godswill Akpabio to intervene and save them from the brink of starvation.
In an open letter addressed to Senator Akpabio, the youths nostalgically recalled his tenure as governor, contrasting it with the current harsh realities under the Governor Umo Eno administration since 2023. They described life in the state as “nightmarish,” with poverty, hunger, and insecurity becoming the norm.
The letter, jointly signed by Comrade Inyang Aaron and Chief Sylvester Martins, lamented the recent demolition of shanties by the Uyo Capital City Development Authority (UCCDA), which they claimed has pushed more Akwa Ibomites into poverty. They also accused the governor of making “audio policies” that have failed to deliver tangible benefits, and criticized his “audio bulk food purchase scheme” for not yielding any results.
The youths begged Akpabio to intervene, calling on him to convene a stakeholders’ meeting to discuss ways to save the state from further suffering. They expressed their readiness to support the outcome of the meeting and work towards creating a new Akwa Ibom where policies favor the masses.
The letter concluded by praying for God’s protection and guidance upon Akpabio as he considers their appeal.
