Interestingly, many other similar projects across the State are at various stages of completion. Social welfare schemes under project Hope and Comfort for women, widows, youths, children and less-privileged are also successful in Imoke’s administration, in addition to traffic lights projects that have been completed in Calabar Metropolis.

And with the desire of Senator Imoke to re-contest the coming election, coupled with these volumes of achievements, the coast is clear. Only those with fabulous records of achievements and with the needed clout will be able to floor Imoke in any political contest.

There is therefore need for the people to appreciate who they have in Imoke by ensuring his victory and the PDP in this month’s election

There is no better way to say, thank you to the Almighty God for sending to us Senator Imoke than to reciprocate these gestures with a vote for Imoke. It will mean a vote for more good things to come.
