This is Mr. Ben Ayade, the executive governor of Cross Rivers State earlier this week while discussing with foreign investors who have already committed the sum of 500 million Euros to the proposed Calabar Sea Port. A leader is known by the results of his plans and concrete achievements during his term of office. It is not about arrogant and nauseating noises.

In contrast, Godswill Akpabio, a corrupt liar dissipated millions of Akwa Ibom State money on senseless propaganda over a non existed “Ibom Sea Port project” for years with nothing to show for it after his deadly regime. While gullible Nigerians were made to believe that a sea port was being built in the state, the reality on ground is that there is no such thing; it was just a scam to siphon money. There is no sea port project anywhere in Akwa Ibom State. I stand to be corrected.

For 8 years, Akpabio talked about bringing foreign investment to the state but all that we perceived was that money was being siphoned to foreign lands. There is no singular evidence of industrialisation occasioned by the several visits to other countries in the name of seeking foreign investors. Governor Ayade has achieved in one month what Akpabio couldn’t do in 8 years.

As if to add salt to the injury, Udom Emmanuel, the stooge imposed on the state in a massively rigged election has continued with the deceits of his benefactor by setting up pointless committees on “foreign investment”, etc. For how long shall this grand deception continue?
The difference is visible to the blind between governor Ayade, Godswill Akpabio and stooge Udom Emmanuel.
