MR. HARRISON EKPO ADDRESSING THE PUPILS AND ALL PRESENT AT THE EVENT.

These crop of leaders in the Akwa Ibom State Executive Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party it now seems will never cease to blow the minds of the masses with their out of the moon - record setting social activism these days. The most recent is that of the Secretary of the party- Mr. Harrison Ekpo who decided to robe the entire households in his community; Ikot Udoesang in Onna LGA with joy as he stormed the community primary school known as AME ZION PRIMARY SCHOOL, IKOT UDOESANG, ONNA LGA on Friday 24th June 2016 to distribute educational materials and other welfare packages to pupils, teachers, members of staff of the school and Youth Corp members serving in the school.
The event tagged "Education Support Initiative" is first of its kind in the community as the Village Head: Chief Kanubo Ekwere JP and the Head Mistress of the school Mrs. Ekaete Sunday Ekim minced no words in affirming this with joy. The Youth President of Ikot Udoesang Community - Mr. Victor Inyang also reacting on behalf of the youth of the community thanked the Secretary for such inspiring benevolent investment in the future of their community and called on other leaders to replicate same in their respective communities. This was equally echoed by the Chairman of the School Management Committee - Mr. Spencer Umofia who expressed how grateful the school and community was.
Mr. Harrison Ekpo while addressing the pupils, teachers and others present said that the party he represents wants the best for its people and believes in encouraging such from cradle to glory which is why he was doing the little within his capacity to see that greatness is encouraged at every level especially the young generation.

Comrade Barr. Ini Ememobong (The State Publicity Secretary of the PDP) who accompanied his brother, friend and colleague Mr. Harrison Ekpo to the event informed everyone at the event that "there is and must be a point where politics ends and humanity continues." Thus, politics according to him was over with elections after which comes humanity, and that politics that does not add to humanity or help the community in humanitarian dimensions is no politics at all. He stressed that any society that desires progress must take education seriously and Onna being a Local Government Area that has produced two governors - one in old Cross River State (being Chief Clement Isong) and the present one in new Akwa Ibom State (being Mr. Udom Emmanuel) could not have achieved such without education which therefore makes it pertinent to encourage education in Ikot Udoesang without which the people of Ikot Udoesang now pupils of AME Zion Primary School will have no place in the Akwa Ibom of tomorrow. He reminded those present that the difference between the rich and poor is education and that Mr. Harrison Ekpo by this gesture was making everyone equal and rich through education so that more "Clement Isongs" and "Udom Emmanuels" will spring forth from these pupils.
The event was richly attended by the good people of Ikot Udoesang Community and Onna LGA as well as friends of the LGA and political stake holders some of which include Comr. Ubon Marcus (Former Vice President of National Association of Nigerian Students and presently Supervisor for education in Etinan Transition Committee) Comr. Innocent Udom (supervisor for education - Ini Local Government Transition Committee), Mr. Ukeme Utuk, Barr. Ewa Okpo, Comr. Ndifreke Bassey (Former Ibiono Ibom Youth Council Chairman) and ace broadcaster Mr. Samuel Ayara who witnessed the Secretary give out exercise note books to the 51 kids in Early Child Care, 35 pupils in Primary One, 27 pupils in Primary Two, 25 pupils in Primary Three, 24 pupils in Primary Four, 26 pupils in Primary Five and 21 pupils in Primary Six - all together - Two Hundred and Nine (209) pupils. Mr. Harrison Ekpo the State Secretary of the PDP also gave out school bags to the top three pupils in each class to encourage excellence. While all the teachers, school staff and Youth Corp members went home with wrappers and cash sums to encourage their resourceful roles in grooming the future leaders.
