The emolument, according to him, will be channelled directly towards the empowerment of members of his constituency.

According to him, this was in reciprocation to the massive love he has enjoyed during the electioneering period despite intimidation, violence and financial inducement.

 

He noted that in the same way he ensured that he penetrated every hamlet to interface with the electorate during the election campaigns, adding he was being intentional about undertaking a thank-you visit to appreciate his people.

 

“My primary duty is to serve the people, and so I want to do everything in my power to empower my people in return for the mandate they have entrusted me with.

“I will embark on this tour weekly over the next three months, during which time my emoluments for the next two years will be distributed to over 23,000 indigenes of this constituency and their families.

“I will continue an all-inclusive governance that would give equal opportunity to all supporters without discrimination,” the lawmaker stated.

The occasion witnessed each of the 1,337 indigenes of the area and supporters of the Youth Progressive Party (YPP) receiving cash donations to help cushion the hardship of the current economic climate following the petrol subsidy removal and in appreciation of their support to the lawmaker and the party.

On his part, chapter chairman of YPP in Ini Local Government Area, Mr. Anietie Jackson, described the tour as an uncommon event, which has never occurred before in the political sphere of Akwa Ibom State.
