Habiba Sam
According to the International President of Akwa Ibom Believers United Front Worldwide, Mr. Obong Oniel Duke, the community has been fragmented, with various factions operating independently.
This has led to a lack of recognition and neglect of the community's interests. Mr. Duke notes that politicians in Edo State have complained about the disunity among Akwa Ibom people, which has hindered their ability to effectively engage with the community.
The Convener emphasizes that the time for unity is now, and that it is essential for the community to come together under one umbrella to speak with one voice.
He believes that by doing so, they can achieve greater recognition and benefits, and overcome the neglect they have suffered due to their factionalized nature.
As Mr. Duke aptly puts it, "Unity is Power." He stresses that individual pride and interests should be set aside for the greater good of the community. By uniting, Akwa Ibom people in Edo State can leverage their collective strength to achieve their goals and aspirations.
The meeting, scheduled for Saturday, July 5th, at the Regal Event Center & Suites in Benin City, will provide a platform for community leaders and members to strategize and chart a new course for the Akwa Ibom community in Edo State. Mr. Duke urges all individuals fronting different groups to stand together and be recognized as a serious-minded group.
The Convener's call for unity is timely, and it is expected that the meeting will mark the beginning of a new era of cooperation and collective action among Akwa Ibom people in Edo State. As Mr. Duke says, "Let's come together in oneness so that our decision can be recognized."
The Akwa Ibom community in Edo State has a significant presence in the state, and their unity can have a profound impact on the state's development. By coming together, they can pool their resources, expertise, and influence to achieve their goals and contribute to the growth and prosperity of Edo State.
As the community prepares to unite, Mr. Duke's words of wisdom will likely serve as a guiding principle: "Yak Idaka Ida Indiana Kiet Mfin Ikene Idia Ufon Politics Ke obio emi."
The community's unity will undoubtedly be a powerful force in shaping their future and ensuring that their interests are represented in Edo State.
