The campaign against Senator Akpabio has quieted down and it is clear that his reputation remains intact thanks to your commitment. I never could have imagined such a powerful showing from all of you. You protected the integrity of a leader who has done so much for our state.

GODSWILL AKPABIO IS A GLOBALLY CELEBRATED LEADER
We, the undersigned, call on all fans, friends, supporters, families, relatives and patriotic citizens of Akwa Ibom State and Nigeria both at home and the Diaspora to support His Excellency, Sen. (Dr) Godswill Obot Akpabio, CON to succeed in his political career as the Senate Minority Leader and the leader of opposition party in the National Assembly.
This call is initiated by concerned and patriotic citizens of our great country to counter a recent sponsored print and social media offensive on our respected and revered leader and elder statesman by some faceless individuals to tarnish his image and reputation for cheap political reason. This sponsored campaign of calumny has been going on for the past one year and few months, hence our resolved to put a STOP to it.
Transformational leaders are celebrated globally for the legacies they left behind. Late Singaporean leader, Lee Kuan Yew and Nelson Mandela of South Africa are typical example of leaders whose legacies stand the taste of time and Sen. Godswill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom State is no exemption. Being a leader brings with it a responsibility to do something of significance that make families, communities, nations, and the world a better place than one met it year after he might left the scene. Lee Kuan Yew did it in Singapore, Nelson Mandela did it in South Africa and Godswill Akpabio is not wanting in this regard as he has conscientiously formulated and executed policies and programs that impact meaningfully on the lives of citizenry. Through his leadership attributes, he has been able to raise the bar of democratic governance in Nigeria and improve the self-worth of an average Akwa Ibom person to stand shoulder to shoulder among equals from other states.
Akpabio has accomplished where many have failed. Today, his personality, pedigree and political instinct have earned him both national and global credentials, virtually printing his name in gold as a leader who has uncommonly transformed his society for good. During his administration, he embarked on massive infrastructural development, human capacity development, investment in healthcare delivery services, free and compulsory education for both primary and secondary school level which is the only state in Nigeria with such a laudable investment. Through investment in education, Godswill Akpabio has affected mass of families, especially by paying the examination fees. This investment is one seed government has sown into the future of Akwa Ibom people. It is a long term investment that would bring massive harvest in future. Hear him,
“The labours of today would be inherited by the children of today and we need to prepare them for that day so that our legacies would be in safe hands tomorrow. That is why we have invested massively in educational infrastructure to complement our free and compulsory education policy. This is for all children resident in our state irrespective of their state of origin.” - GODSWILL AKPABIO, CON
When Godswill Akpabio set out on the journey to change the fortunes of Akwa Ibom people, he never expected that his modest effort will come under the searchlight of revered academic institutions and organizations. But during his administration as the governor of Akwa Ibom State, his outstanding achievements attracted honours, awards and accolades from across board. He is a celebrated Hero and Elder Statesman and we must accord him that respect.
We call on those who have genuine grievances to remember that we cannot grow as a nation in the atmosphere of chaos and violence. We believe that we can address all our challenges by submitting to good reason and dialoguing to find the way out of the contending issues rather than embark on media trial and mudslinging to tarnish his image as such move will meet stiff opposition.
We therefore demand for one million (1,000,000) signatures from all his fans across Nigeria and the Diaspora to stand up with Sen. Godswill Obot Akpabio against the sponsored campaign of calumny to tarnish his image by political jobbers and faceless activists. Godswill Akpabio is a revered LEADER and ELDER STATESMAN and we have no other option than to celebrate him till his last breath on planet earth.
Thank you all for considering our request.

I am honestly overwhelmed by the kind words you have left here about the Senator. It is truly humbling to see so many people stepping up to defend the record of a leader who has done so much for us. This shows that the truth about his service cannot be hidden by those who want to tear him down.

I am truly humbled by the way so many of you have stepped up to defend the reputation of someone who has served us with such dedication. This momentum belongs entirely to your unwavering commitment and sense of justice rather than anything I have done. Please know that I never expected such a powerful wave of support for this cause.

No leader is Perfect.. Akwa Ibomites stop condemning ur Son.. We are recognized today with Pride because of his Developmental deeds.. I support Akpabio.. I am an Akwa Ibomite.. I support development and d Pride of AKWA IBOM STATE...
I'm not from Akwa Ibom State but I did my NYSC there in 2012/2013 and I'm a living witness to what Chief Godswill Akpabio did to transform a once backward state to a destination of choice in Nigeria. He has my vote
I support Chief Godswill Akpabio, even though I am not a politician nor do I support his political party. The Transformation of Akwa Ibom State under his leadership 2007 - 2015 will remain a reference point of good governance. Nigeria needs this man. Don't pull him down because of politics
No society rewards goodness with evil if it must grow. For eight years Godswill Akpabio had shown class distinction as Governor, there isn't a state in Nigeria that doesn't pray to have a leader in his ilk. Having been lucky to have him, he should be reverred and not insulted. I love Godswill Akpabio.
If only Nigeria will get more of senator Godswill things will get better. But I urge the initiator of this petition to include the beneficiary's educational qualifications and political achievement. I support Godswill.
Sen. Godswill is the respect so much. As a student of public administration I desire his footsteps for me to succeed
He is, a true definition of a visionary & a true Democrat.

I pitch my tent whole and entire with Sen. Godswill Akpabio, he did well as governor of his state, snd he is doing execellently well as a senstor too. Therefore, those who are against him are ptobably jittery over his soaring political sagacity, pedigree, resourcefulness and character. I so affirm!
