An Akwa Ibomite in the main person that calls the shot in this commission. Akwa Ibomites Ask: What jobs has this man created for Akwa Ibom youths in the last 3 years? Akwa Ibomites ask: What developments has the man brought to his kinsmen? A man who can not create jobs with a N500b budget is the one that will create jobs with N14b budget that Akwa Ibom gets?
