Senator Ita Solomon Enang, a lawyer and politician, has been a regular face in the National Assembly since the advent of civilian rule in 1999. He was first elected as a member representing the Itu/Ibiono Federal Constituency of Akwa Ibom State in the House of Representatives on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and he ran for three consecutive terms of 12 years thereby making history as the longest serving lawmaker from the state. At the end of the 12 years, Enang was elevated to serve the Uyo Senatorial District in the Senate, where he is heading Business and Rules Committee.
As one who has been following several debates and issues in the country, the senator says it is wrong for anybody to try to awaken the ghost of the onshore/offshore dichotomy, which was successfully laid to rest in 2004. In this interview, Enang says such a clamour amounts to treason and would bring about dire consequences for the nation and its people.
