Ahead of the forthcoming PDP guber primary, the Honourable Commissioner for Economic Development and Ibom Deep Sea Port Mr. Akan Okon has on Monday, 14th March, 2022 resigned from the State Executive Council.
This is contained in a letter signed by him and made available on his verified facebook handle on Monday.
According to him, it was an honour and great privilege to serve our State under the leadership of Mr. Udom Emmanuel at such an important phase in our history. I am grateful to God almighty and His Excellency, for giving me the opportunity to serve.
I also thank the good people of our dear State for their support and encouragement which motivated me in the discharge of all the tasks and assignments given to me, especially with regards to the envisioned three gateways (Land, Air and Sea) for the rapid development of our dear state and creation of job opportunities for our teeming and very enterprising youths.
Throughout the duration of my service, I strived diligently to interpret his Excellency’s vision for our State as encapsulated in the Divine Mandate Agenda and Completion Agenda respectively.
As the scripture admonishes “to everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven…” Eccl. 3: It is my deep conviction that this is the best time to take a leave in other to focus on my aspiration for the 2023 Governorship election.
Once again, I thank His Excellency for the opportunity and wish our dear state the very best of growth and development”
