Aniekan Uko emerges speaker A'Ibom House of Assembly


In a surprise change of political tide, Monday, Mr. AniekanUko (pictured above), the new member, representing Ibesikpo-Asutan State Constituency, was elected speaker in the inaugurated Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly. The two previous contenders to the office of the speaker, Mr. Onofiok Luke (Nsit Ubium) and Mr. Ime Okon (Ibiono Ibom), both of them ranking lawmakers, lost out because of the overbearing political influence of the immediate past governor of the state, Chief Godswill Akpabio.
