Four members of Akwa Ibom State Executive Council have tendered their resignation letters in compliance with Peoples Democratic Party, PDP’s deadline, to further their political ambition in 2015.

Those who submitted their resignation letters were Mr. Udom Emmanuel, Secretary to the State Government, SSG; Ekpenyong Ntekim, Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice; Pastor Ita Udo, Commissioner for Culture and Tourism, and Mr. Iboro Ekanem, Commissioner for Science and Technology.

While receiving the letters at the Governor’s Office in Uyo, Governor Godswill Akpabio congratulated them for the bold step and commended them for the services rendered to the people of the state, adding that they had contributed to the success of his administration.

Akpabio attributed the proper management of the state resources to the able hands of his executive members, saying capacity was needed for the governorship seat by 2015.

He said the next administration would need to build more industries, manage projects, create jobs for the youths and establish active financial management.

He called on other executive members to support the political ambitions of those who had just resigned and called on the members who had resigned and were willing to contest for the governorship seat to work together.

The governor also accepted the resignation letters of about five of his personal aides, including Akparawa Ubeh, who left to contest for various political positions in 2015.
