URUAN STATE CONSTITUENCY 2019: TONY AKAN AND THE TRIPLE ATTRIBUTES EFFECT

In every passing day, the march to 2019 elections is gathering momentum with political parties exploring every means to dust off opponents and clinch vantage positions. Although an all-encompassing strategy is required to gain the much-needed advantage, the choice of credible candidature to fly their flag is a paramount factor that can make or mar the success anticipated by every political party.

However, in Uruan State Constituency, as in every other political race, three cardinal attributes remain the defining thrust for the selection of every party’s flag bearer.
The three interdependent factors, when combined, would create a tripartite advantage christened Triple Effect. These three basic principles that have come to define leadership role models include *Capacity, Loyalty and Vision*.
Since Rt. Hon. Tony Akan has widely been adjudged the best hand in the quest for who represents Uruan people in Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly in 2019, it is apt to assess him in the light of these incontestable 3-dimensional attributes thus:

*CAPACITY*
Though human, Tony Akan’s capacity has variously been defined as being inexhaustible. He is self-motivated, self-initiated and there is nothing he cannot handle. As a typical Uruan man, Tony Akan is neither a backbencher, seat warmer nor laidback, rather, he is courageous, enigmatic, unrelenting, forthcoming and a go-getter. His intellectual prowess is unparalleled, as he is visible, heard, and wears the Atakpo emblem with pride. Without a doubt, Tony Akan represents the new face of the legendary portrait often painted of an Uruan person…the new hope to reclaiming the lost glory of Uruan nation.

Tony Akan is one Uruan son who has lead Akwa Ibom sons and daughters to many successful sports and youth events across Nigeria as Team Leader; the first and only Uruan person till date to have led ALGON, Akwa Ibom State Chapter as Chairman; the first and only Chairman in the history of Uruan nation to have won the Governor’s cup; the first and only Chairman known to have successfully organised the Chairmanship cup football competition in Uruan Local Government; the pioneer Chairman of Continuation Advancement Group (CAG) with remarkable achievements, etc. These remarkable feats and many more – begging for mentioning – are the defining hallmarks of a man with an unlimited capacity.

Tony Akan is well at home with his people irrespective of their educational, economic and social status. He is a grassroot mobiliser, strategist and achiever of impeccable record. Therefore with Tony Akan holding the baton in the race for Uruan State Constituency seat in Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly, not only will he guarantee success for his Party in Uruan; the quality of his representation will also turn the yearnings and in-satisfa

ction of his people into genuine rays of hope, strength and renewal.

*LOYALTY*
Although loyalty is perhaps one exceedingly rare, misplaced or misused attribute these days, Tony Akan is one man with unquestionable history of staying true to his convictions. Ever since he came into active politics, he has never contemplated jumping ship for any reason. Having imbibed the culture of loyalty in his early days from his father, Late Gen. Akan, Tony is a man whose word is his bond.

Tony Akan is a loyal friend, brother, child, father and husband. His relationships dating back to his childhood days are still intact. Those he has worked for and with have spoken glowingly of the rarity of his sincere, humble, humane and generous personae. His allies still count him dependable. Everyone, irrespective of personal or political affiliations and differences, would still have something good to say about him. This defines a man who would lay down his personal ambition, forgo his personal gains and glory to tow the path that would create an enduring stability, peace and general good.

What else, if not loyalty to the party and staying true to a noble cause, would make a man on the verge of victory in his senatorial ambition in 2015, to not only relinquish the chance to another but went a step further to mobilised support for his candidacy, and even worked assiduously to ensure his victory at the general election? This is the type of man Uruan people need: one who will seek for the common good of his people before himself. With the House of Assembly mandate in his hands, Uruan would have found a dependable and effective representative in the House of Assembly, come 2019.

*VISION*
In politics – as in other sphere of human endeavours – only vision can keep anything and anyone from going under.
Tony Akan is a true definition of a visionary leader. His intuitive projections give him an edge over others and opens doors of unimaginable opportunities, not just for him, but also his people.

When this visionary servant-leader offers direction, a renewal into slumbering states and hopeless situations begin.
Uruan nation and its people did flourish with him at the helm of affairs; ALGON would still regale of his innovative disposition when he was the Association’s Chairman; Continuity Advancement Group (CAG) with testimonies of successful members in different fields of human endeavours who made their first break under his leadership and many more remarkable strides remained the bold imprints of vision.

Tony Akan is one man who will not only inspire you to seek and work towards every good thing your heart desires, but he will provide the incentives (financially and otherwise) that would leverage and propel you towards achieving those aspirations. Only a visionary leader would lead others with such magnitude of generosity, and grace. His humility has warmed him into the hearts of his people.

Tony Akan is the man who would offer the most effective and qualitative representation Uruan people truly desire in the House of Assembly, come 2019. Successive representatives and past leadership roles have offered ample opportunity to assess performances based on rigorous logic, common sense and verifiable indices. It is therefore undeniable that for those whose minds openly accept the truth and countless others who desire positive drift for Uruan Inyang Atakpo, having expressed their discontentment in way they are being represented thus far, Tony Akan represents the hope for a better deal going forward.

This is the triple effect which Uruan State Constituency needs in 2019.
