He appealed to the Governor to make good his promise to construct the Oruko-Eyubiasang Beach Road.
“Your Excellency, Urueoffong/Oruko people are very grateful for the first State Government road project in the Local Government. I am particularly happy because this road was awarded when I was with you in the State Exco, and commissioned now that I am the Chairman.
“On behalf of my people, I thank you for wiping tears from the communities of Urueoffong, Ukuko Utuku and Ibotong, linking them with access road to the market and enhancing the value of their agricultural produce.
“Our dear Governor, my people ask me to remind you that during the 2023 governorship campaigns, you promised to construct the Oruko Junction-Eyubiasang Beach Road, and that they are anxiously waiting for the commissioning of that road because they know that you are a promise keeper.
“Urueoffong/ Oruko Local Government Area was the first to endorse you as the consensus candidate of the PDP, because we believe in your capacity.
“Today, Urueoffong/Oruko people are again the first to say that our support for your re-election is total and unconditional. Your second tenure is a done deal as far as we are concerned.” He submitted.
