THE DANGEROUS GAME OF POLITICAL MANIPULATION: EXPOSING THE HYPOCRISY OF EMERGENCY GROUP

As I pen down my thoughts, I am filled with a sense of outrage and disgust at the sheer audacity of an emergency,non existent North/Central Uruan group. This non-existent entity, created out of political desperation and afterthought, has the temerity to attempt to force a marriage between North and Central Uruan. It’s a move that reeks of political manipulation, hypocrisy, and a blatant disregard for the principles of democracy and fairness.

Let’s call a spade a spade – this group is a mere fabrication, a political pawn designed to further the interests of a select few. They have no legitimacy, no credibility, and no business trying to dictate the political trajectory of our people.

And let’s be clear, Pastor Engr J.B. Effiong is the zonal leader of Central Uruan, and he has since severed political links with Northern Uruan, along with the 4 ward leaders in Central Uruan. Anyone claiming to represent Central Uruan is an imposter and a trouble shooter.

Their sudden love for North 2 is nothing short of suspicious. Where were they when North 2 was being marginalized and excluded from the political process by North 1? Where were they when North 1 was taking everything that should have been shared with North 2? Their silence was deafening, and now they have the audacity to claim they are champions of North 2’s cause?

Their inconsistency is staggering. They oppose the second term of Chairmanship in South South Uruan, yet they had no problem taking second term in State Representative in North 1. They cry foul when their interests are not met, but turn a blind eye to the injustices they have perpetrated against others.

And let’s not forget, it was the North that started the second term in the House of Assembly. They can’t eat their cake and still expect to have it. They can’t benefit from a system they created and now want to deny others the same benefit.

Zoning cannot be forced, and it is counterproductive to rob South South to compensate North 2 for the evils caused by North . Today almost everything with Pastor Umo Eno’s signature, such as the Arise Shelter, is situated in Northern Uruan. Even the Chairman couldn’t attract such projects to South South.

In conclusion, this emergency group’s attempt to force a marriage between North and Central Uruan is a dangerous game of political manipulation that must be exposed. Their hypocrisy and inconsistency must be called out, and their attempt to rob South South to compensate North 2 must be resisted. We demand fairness, equity, and justice in our political dealings, and we will not be swayed by their sweet talk and empty promises. We will stand firm in our demand for fairness, equity, and justice, and we will rise up and claim our rightful place in the political arena.

Let us reject this political desperation and afterthought. Let us reject this attempt to manipulate and control us. We will not be fooled, and we will not be silenced. We will rise up and demand our rights, and we will triumph in the end.

We will not allow this group of political opportunists to dictate our political future. We will not allow them to divide us and conquer us. We will stand united and strong, and we will fight for our rights.

We will not be intimidated by their empty threats and hollow promises. We will not be swayed by their sweet talk and political gimmicks. We will stand firm and resolute, and we will demand justice and equity.

Let us rise up and claim our rightful place in the political arena. Let us reject this political manipulation and demand fairness, equity, and justice. We will triumph in the end.

Imagine forcing Akwa Ibom State into marriage with Cross River State, Imagine Forcing Uruan to remain in Uyo Local Government Area. That’s an impossibility, this attempt to force a marriage between the north and central has failed as South East and South South had since moved on.

We know they are doing all these with the hope that our dear Governor will scuttle the truth but it’s worth letting them know that Pastor Umo Eno is a man of Principles not easily swayed with lies from Masters in manipulations.
