In the heat of political struggles and moments of public doubt, one man stood his ground. When your father aspired to be governor—even when the majority of the state was skeptical, fearing he would mirror the controversial legacy of his predecessor—he never once turned against his family. Not his wife. Not his children.
During the intense legal battle over his WAEC certificate, which took him to the Supreme Court not once, but twice, he did not resort to using anyone close to him as a scapegoat—or a sacrificial pawn.
When political tides nearly turned against him and the governor was under pressure to replace him with Akan Okon at the eleventh hour, he remained steadfast. Still, no member of his family was thrown under the bus for political gain.
Now, after winning the election and exceeding expectations in office—garnering unprecedented cross-party support from both the APC and PDP for a potential re-election—it is absurd to suggest he would now begin to sacrifice his own family.
It begs the question: why now? Why such wild allegations at a time when his political capital is soaring?
It is disheartening to see manipulation creep in from those once trusted. The so-called “kai kai visions” from Udom’s sister, who runs a dubious church, should be taken with a grain of salt. If your father and mother had embraced laziness and manipulation like this, they would never have risen to where they are today.
To fall for such spiritual blackmail is not only tragic—it’s dangerous. A word is enough for the wise.
