AKPABIOCRACY: The New Trend in Akwa Ibom North West Senatorial District

By Edidiong Jim

Akpabiocracy is a movement in Nigeria that dig deep to the realisation of the performances of
Senator God'swill Akpabio in Akwa Ibom State North West Senatorial District. This is a philosophical trend of the 21st century.

Akpabiocracy is the government of the Akwa Ibom North West people and Senator Akpabio.

"Akpabiocracy" is derived from two words "Akpabio" referring to the former Governor of Akwa Ibom state, the Senator representing Akwa Ibom
North West senatorial District, the Senate minority leader and the "UKO AKWA IBOM" and "Kratia" which is derived from a Greek word to mean
Governance.

This simply denotes Akpabio
governance in west Africa. Like Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe, Dr Kwame Nkrumah and Chief Obafemi Awolowo, Senator Godswill Akpabio
is among the revolutionaries.

Dr Azikiwe opined for NEOWELFARISM, Senator Akpabio opined for AKPABIOISM and today he is initiating a movement know and called AKPABIOCRACY.

Apparently, from 1999, the inception of democracy in Nigeria, we had Senators representing Akwa Ibom North West senatorial District, we never felt their impacts, we thought it was a normal routine to send a representative to National Assembly only to develop themselves and to an extent to recover his or her wasted years but today, history has
been changed and history also made.

In 1999-2003, Senator Emmanuel Ibokessien represented us, yet came back home and established RITMAN UNIVERSITY in Ikot Ekpene.

In 2003-2007, Senator Itak Bob Ekarika represented us, came back home with a defunct Secondary School in Ekparakwa, Oruk Anam LGA.

In 2007-2011,2011-2015, Senator Aloysius Akpan Etuk represented us, came back home with an upgrading of FORTUNE SCHOOL and Establishment
of FORTUNE POLYTECHNIC in Efiat Offot.

All this, without updating the district with the rudiments of the National Assembly. Today, Senator Godswill Akpabio (2015-2017) just two
years, he assembled the district to unleash us from a myopic thoughts that a Senator can't call for a senatorial briefings, that a Senator can't empower people etc. Of a truth, Akpabiocracy is a movement, agitating for truth, good and pragmatic governance in Africa.

I therefore opines for inclusion of AKPABIOCRACY as one of the Political Ideologies in Africa
Contemporary Philosophy.
