Rates  governor high

Akwa Ibom State Government has dismissed as false and misleading,   the performance rating of Governor Udom Emmanuel by   a   reportedly Lagos- based group, Centre for International Advanced and Professional Studies, CIAPS, which rated him among the lowly performed governors in October 2015.

A statement by the state Commissioner for Information and Communications, Mr. Aniekan Umanah, said the purported comparative analysis of governors’ performance in Nigeria, as reported in some newspapers and published online, was a spurious fabrication that insults the sensibilities of Akwa Ibom people, who are witnesses and beneficiaries of the good governance brought to bear by Governor Emmanuel.

According to the Commissioner, Governor Emmanuel is perhaps “the best performing governor in his set” and evidences abound to prove this, contrary to the fabrication by CIAPS, noting that as reported, CIAPS simply targeted Peoples Democratic party, PDP, governors.
