By Kris Ekefre

Hon. Otobong Aaron is undoubtedly one of the best performing Local Government Chairmen in Akwa Ibom State, given her optimal performance in the Nsit Ibom Local Government Council of Akwa Ibom State.

The female Executive Local Government Chairman has changed the narratives of politicians at the rural level not committing to working for the people, a development that Local Government Autonomy came under public scrutiny when President Bola Ahmed Tinubu declared the autonomy after the Supreme Court judgment.

Hon Aaron today has touched lives of Nsit Ibom Local Government, thereby redefining local council leadership and complementing the effort of Governor Umo Bassey Eno in Akwa Ibom State. Today in Nsit Ibom Local Government, Hon Aaron has spread development across most communities in terms of access road, medical facilities, agriculture, women and vulnerable peoples’ financial empowerment, market women, education, trainings and capacity building.

LG headquarters has also been renovated, primary schools have also been renovated with supplies of desks and books for the primary school children, enlightenment on government activities, security and so on/

This is no wonder that she was recently awarded as one of the best in Agricultural development. With her policy in Agriculture, Hon Aaron has engaged a greater number of exuberant youths’ to productivity and thereby taken them out of crime.

A beneficiary in Nsit Ibom has this to day, “We are varieties of the same stock and we all have to advance in the same general principle, but this assumption is faulted by Hon. Otobong Aaron and George Orwell in his Animal Farm that “All animals are equal but some are more equal than others.” Rt. Hon. Otobong Aaron, the Executive Chairman of Nsit lbom Local Government Council has not only broken the record in Local Government administration but has set the pace for other Local Government Areas in Akwa lbom State and Nigeria, to follow.”

“She has not only reformed Nsit lbom Local Government Area economically, but people are getting their hearts right and smiles abound on their faces. She has built a good platform that aligns with the Arise Agenda of Governor Umo Bassey Eno. She has earnestly followed the steps of an achiever, planning purposefully, preparing prayerfully, proceeding positively, and pursuing persistently, the result of which are the numerous and aggressive developmental strides in one year of her stewardship.

“Rt. Hon. Otobong Aaron is a woman of her words, tested and trusted, determined, quite ambitious, positive and fast thinker. Like Godswill Obot Akpabio, GCON, she is not playing parish – pump politics with projects.

“She is a great mobilizer and has the charismatic ability to drive Nsit lbom to the next level. The truth, and of course, the beauty of it all is that this piece of work is a compendium of accomplishments, wisdom and capacities of Hon. Otobong Aaron, the Executive Chairman of Nsit lbom Local Government Council, in one year.

She is simply the will of God for Nsit lbom Local Government Area this time as hardship bites. Nsit lbom people are proud to identify with Rt. Hon. Otobong because she has not omitted anything in her calculation of results. They have seen it, they have felt it, and they have witnessed it. In the words of one of the Local Government employees, ” May the Almighty God continually bless and keep her, as we look forward to more years of people focused leadership.”
