His Grace, Prophet Ekong Ituen is a major Prophet in Nigeria. The accuracy of his prophecies has made him a spiritual force to reckon with. You may criticise him endlessly, call him a political prophet, an APC or PDP prophet, but one thing that cannot be taken from him is the consistency in his prophetic ministry. It is on record that immediately after PDP convention @Ibadan, Ituen warned the Chieftains of the party not to celebrate yet because in his revelation, he saw a court of competent jurisdiction nullifying the convention, as the party will find it difficult to field…
The leadership of Oron Union Uyo Branch has noted with concern a publication authored by Mr. Eteobong Nyong Inyang, which purportedly reports the recent thank-you visit of the Branch to Sir Victor Antai, PhD, Executive Director (Projects), Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC). Ordinarily, such a publication would not have warranted a response. However, the report is riddled with serious distortions, glaring omissions and misleading insinuations, making it necessary to clarify the true account of what transpired during the visit. It is important to state from the outset that Mr. Eteobong Nyong Inyang is neither the Publicity Secretary nor the Secretary…
We extend our profound appreciation to Obong Godswill Obot Akpabio GCON, President of the 10th Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, for his steadfast leadership, unwavering support for his political grandson, and his principled adoption of the party structure as duly constituted by the Local Organizing Committee of the State Congress in Akwa Ibom State. Your uncommon commitment to party unity, internal democracy, and institutional discipline played a pivotal role in the smooth, peaceful, and successful completion of the All Progressives Congress (APC) State Congress. By standing firmly behind the decisions and framework established by the Local Organizing Committee,…
By Aniekan Umanah RIGHT OF REPLY I read with utter dismay the story by Sahara Reporters slugged “Am I Your Receptionist? Why Should I Pick Your Phone Calls All the Time ? ”, which attempts, with predictable drama, to portray the Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Pastor Umo Eno, as dismissive and inaccessible. But let us ask: When did laughter become hostility? When did wit become warfare? When did a joke at an enlightened Covenant Service become a crisis? I was physically present at the Monthly Covenant Service held at the Banquet Hall of Government House, Uyo, on March 1,…

From GIFA to Giver’s HeartBy Anietie Usen The impact of a two-year-old institution is often barely perceptible. However, the non-governmental organisation known by its acronym, Golden Initiative For All (GIFA), has defied this convention. In just 24 months, GIFA has carved an indelible mark in the social intervention space—one that stands tall not only in Akwa Ibom State but arguably across Nigeria. We stand to be corrected. It is rare in this part of the world to witness an organisation evolve from conception to profound, measurable impact with such deliberate velocity. GIFA has done just that, outpacing and outclassing many…
