Governor Godswill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom on Sunday took his oath of office for a second term with a promise to work with the opposition in the state.<\/p>\n

Akpabio took both the oath of allegiance and oath of office immediately after his new deputy, Chief Nsima Ekere, who was sworn-in for the first time.<\/p>\n

The state\u2019s Chief Judge, Justice Idongesit Ntem-Isua, administered the oath on both of them in the ceremony performed at Uyo Township Stadium.<\/p>\n

In his speech, Akpabio said that he was more determined to fulfil the oath he had taken, calling on his opponents to join hands with him to work for the state.<\/p>\n

“I am going to appoint members of other political parties to show that I am the governor for all.\u00a0 In the last elections, there was no victor no vanquished,\u2019\u2019 Akpabio said.<\/p>\n

The governor said, “Four years\u00a0 ago, when I took the oath of office I told you that our state will never be the same again and today, we are proud that we have taken the state afar.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo amount of propaganda and blackmail can divide us. With the last elections, we buried hatred forever and it shall remain so forever.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have come a long way, I am happy that we now live in a state where every child no matter the circumstances of his birth has equal opportunity to acquire formal education.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is possible with the free and compulsory education programme of this administration;\u00a0 we now live in a state where every child, pregnant woman and the aged have access to free medical treatment.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

The governor said that since 2007 till date, his administration had completed electricity projects in 1,350 communities and had also constructed 205 urban roads and built five new general hospitals.<\/p>\n

Akpabio promised to complete the multi-billion naira Ibom Tropicana and Entertainment Centre, which, according to him, will divert attention from Dubai to Akwa Ibom for shopping.\u00a0 (NAN)<\/p>\n
