- Testimony Of Performance 3
My name is Highness Ntinnyin Okon Edet Effiong, the village head of Nna Enin , Secretary Central Uruan Traditional Rulers Council , Chairman forum of Village Heads in Uruan and Secretary forum of village Heads in Akwa Ibom State .
There was a communal crisis between my village and Anakpa, more than 40 houses were burnt down in my village by angry mob. I lost my palace and all my properties to this crisis and through the intervention of Deputy Governor Office, peace was brought back to our communities but we were without homes.
During the 2015 General election, Chief Emmanuel Nicholas conducted door to door campaigns in all the villages in Central Uruan Ward 3. He visited my village, Nna Enin to campaign for Governor Udom Emmanuel and saw that I was without a place to lay my head. As at that time, I was staying in my friends Compound in a nearby Village, from there I was coming to my village to oversee day to day administration.
That was my first day of meeting him, I always heard about his good works in the Ward but we were never close. He stood there and promised to rebuild my palace, true to his words, he pulled down the cracked walls that was left behind by fire and reconstructed for me, a bigger palace.
Today, I’m living in a eight bed Room Palace with two large Parlours. Furnished and painted to standard, is hard to see a young man like White Bom Bom, he is so committed to the wellbeing of his people. He kept his promises, very humble and what endears him most to me, is his charity to the aged women of central Uruan Ward 3.
Every December and some Easter period, he blesses them with bags of Rice and wrappers. He does not make it political event because whether you are PDP, APC, ACCORD or PRP, Emmanuel always assembles us the village heads in the eight villages to bring out old women in our villages and mostly widows.
The Ibiom of Mosongo-Ibonda Uruan has been doing this for over 15 years. I will personally mobilize all the village heads in Uruan to mobilize their entire communities to vote for him, he is the best product for the job, very humane and caring.
