PUBLIC NOTICE:
OUR PRINCIPAL, HON VICTOR HENRY HAS NOT NEGOTIATED TO STEP DOWN FOR ANY ASPIRANT IN EKET CHAIRMANSHIP RACE AND WILL NEVER.
Our attention has been drawn to a dirty garment of public ridicule decorated with unimaginable fallacies and libellous lies sewn and posted by one Manfred Ekpe Jnr, on the social media touching on the personality and integrity of our Principal, Hon Victor Henry who is vying for the chairmanship position of Eket Local Government Area in the forth coming local government election.
In the said post captioned, "Eket LG Election 2020, HOW THE NAMES OF 4 CHAIRMANSHIP ASPIRANTS IN EKET WERE CANCELLED FROM THE CLEARED LIST", Mr Manfred Ekpe Jnr alleged
that "beginning from Tuesday 18, August, a day after the Pat Ifon hatchet meeting at Govt House - - -, aspirants in Eket were invited for negotiations to step down for Alaba (a name for Hon Akan Tommy) at Venus Hotel, Shelter Afrique in Uyo".
He went further, "the aspirants who went for the negotiations were Hon Monday Ette Johnny, Hon Victor Henry and others".
We wouldn't have bothered, as it seems, to dignify his insinuations but because silence can sometimes be misconstrued to mean consent, we wish to state categorically clear that,
(1) Hon Victor Henry, a man of proven integrity, has not negotiated with anybody or group of persons, to step down for any aspirant, for whatever reasons, and will never do so.
(2) It should be noted that Hon Victor Henry has contested for the chairmanship position of Eket twice, this making the third time, and has never been noted to have stepped down on any of the occasions.
(3) The general public, good people of Eket and his teaming supporters should disregard such figment of lies and continue to look unto God who gives power to His ordained for victory against retrogressive forces.
