IT'S TIME "And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed." Romans 13:11 It is no news that we in Ikono/Ini Federal Constituency have endured untold hardship owing to Ineffective Representation.

AKHA 2019: IKONO STATE CONSTITUENCY ABASIONO OKON: Restoring Hope and True Representation People are at their best when the connection between them is strong and when a clear sense of purpose have been achieved. Today the challenges facing Ntippe Ibibio, are immense. The political system have betrayed the youth, who in their youthful days, envisioned better days for themselves.

It is the institutional body responsible for making laws and one through which the collective will of the people or part of it are articulated. There has been sounds of thunderous jubilations in Ikon

No matter our condition and situation today, we are confident that joy cometh in the morning. I may be sounding religious today, but I am confident that our tears will be rolled away. For the Egyptians we see today in our political offices, we shall see them no more because of  EMMANUEL(God with us). I am sure we have been where we have wept and groan bitterly because we could not find joy. We may have cursed ourselves and the Government because we had lost faith in the system.
