OFF THE CUFF:

for me to become the deputy governor. They offered me N2bn, but I said no. If you like, offer me N10bn, mine is no Luke noting that he would rather quit politics than defect to the All Progressiv­es Congress

I am a principled person, and I like being known for consistenc­y Luke dismissing insinuatio­ns that he may be on his way out of the People’s Democratic Party and desire of the people of Etinan Federal constituen­cy, who want me to represent them in 2019. By 2019, you are going to hear a loud voice articulati­ng the interest of Etinan Federal constituen­cy and the interest of Akwa Ibom in the National Assembly. I promise to use my position if voted to serve the people in the House of Representa­tives to improve the well-being of the people of this federal constituen­cy

Luke consulting the people on his desire to serve as a federal legislator man in Akwa Ibom State today. Even during the last general elections, the government of the day had their preferred candidate but to God’s Glory, I won overwhelmi­ngly. You must be humble because pride destroys humanity but humility can take you to any height. There’s nothing on earth to be proud of. Whatsoever you are today, another man had attained that height before you. To the Glory of God, I’m a beneficiar­y of humility

Luke opening up on how he attained his present height in politics popular; they should come back home and campaign, and not behave like children who would go and start a fight and then run to their father for protection. They should stop using the state apparatus and security agencies to intimidate us. The more they try to intimidate us, the more our resolve to defend the common mandate of Governor Udom Emmanuel
