Height of delusion   We refer to the interview run by Daily Independent on pages C1 and C3 of Friday, July 16, 2004 edition. Your personality was the Chairman of the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) in Akwa Ibom State, Ekpenyong Ntekim. His views evidently reveal his deep-seated hatred for the progress of our State. Dismissing such a fait accompli as the 2003 elections and those who have come into power in Uyo as a result of the polls as “imaginary” is to say the least the height of delusion and arrogance. Ntekim also delved into issues that are sub judice, matters that courts are already handling.  And he is a lawyer and former Chairman of the Nigerian Bar Association in Akwa Ibom. Concerning his claim that Governor Victor Attah’s “achievements exist only in the media,” we of Akwa Ibom Improvement Movement (AKIM) know too much of what we have seen in the State between 1999 and now to understand the politics of negativity Ntekim is playing.  Before Ntekim defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to ANPP in 2001, one of the things he kept on telling all of us was that Akwa Ibom under Attah had never had it so successful in governance and leadership. It is also disappointing that your reporter contributed to the offensive drip in the interview by asking tendentious and subjective questions like, “how long do you want to continue these (outrageous) systems and how do you intend to rescue the state?” At any rate we at AKIM appreciate what Attah’s Administration has done so far.  For true lovers of Akwa Ibom State, the least to do is to support his noble vision, not to flog a so-called “tragedy” of rigged elections. Ntekim and others should not distract Governor Attah from the mandate the people of Akwa Ibom have given him.
