4 things that will stop Akwa Ibom State from 'Dakkada-ing'

By Abasiama Bassey

On the 23rd of September 2015, the Akwa Ibom state government under the administration of Governor Gabriel Udom launched her moral transformation, spiritual re-birth and re-orientation campaign known as Dakkada. Dakkada in the major local dialects of Ibibio, Annang and Oro means “stand up”. The re-birth initiative is aimed at re-awakening the almost non-existent, dwindling passion for the state. Facing the reality as it is, not as it was or we wished it were, we are a product of our inspiration and our inspiration comes from our society. According to Bill Easum , “ Realistic leaders (people), are objective enough to minimize illusions, they understand that self-deception can cause them their vision”. As a people, what we do or fail to do always have consequences.
