You have an intimidating frame, yet very amiable and affable. You are not adequately endowed in physical height, but he has tall ideas. You are an economist in training but do not economise your talents and philanthropic miasma.

In Abi Local Government Area of Cross River State where you were born on October 15, 1964, the

people see you as a friend of the poorest of the poor people. Every year, they look up to you for the usual gifts you share to them. You have done this for years and the people have become used to it.

 

To some, you are a source of strength and vigour. To others, you are technocrat, an aide of inestimable proportion. There are others who see you as a present help in times of need. Yet, may see you as a friend to depend on, a reliable ally. Many dread your vocal disposition and vivaciousness.

 

You were nurtured in Agbara Ekureku but attended the Primary School, Egboronyi, in the Abil Local Government. You also passed through the Agbo Comprehensive Secondary School, before proceeding to the College of Arts and Science , Ogoja for higher certificates. Then you left Cross River and proceeded to the University of Port Harcourt where you studied Economics. By 1990, you were a graduate.

You are familiar with the virtually parts of the country. You were in Kaduna for the compulsory national service scheme. That was the beginning of your life of service to fatherland.  In 1992, you were back to your state to continue with the life of service as you presented yourself for  election as a councillor. Your people decided to elect you as their representative at the local government level under the defunct National Republican Convention.

 

In 1998 under the military, you returned to seek the mandate of your people. It was a case of ‘one good turn deserves another’.  But Sani Abacha, head of the junta at the time died and that phase died. You were not inaugurated as a result.  Then you returned to the classroom, this time to the University of Calabar where you obtained a second degree in public administration. You even went for a double- this time for a second, second degree in educational administration from the same university.

You were not tired of learning until you got to the apex. You read and obtained a doctoral degree in educational administration and planning

, with particular interest in policy formulation and implementation.

Those who know you believe that you are specially endowed. Maybe this is what Donald Duke saw when he appointed you as special assistant on special duties, when he became governor. You did not disappoint him or those who recommended you to him for the appointment. The dexterity in service earned you a higher appointment when you were made the deputy chief of staff, Government House. By that position, you became a member of the state executive council. Duke had no reason to offload you till the end of his tenure. Apparently, he enjoyed the services you delivered to his government.

Senator Liyel Imoke was to consider you for an upgrade. He appointed you the chief of staff, Government House and you have been in that office till date. Even in your high office, you have refused to be carried away by the allures of office and power. You still relate well with your constituents. You are still your humble self. You are still as close to the grassroots as ever.

 

Today, the same people believe that you can give them a voice at the House of Representatives.  The opinion leaders believe that you have what it takes to up the ante in the area of representation at the lower chamber of the National Assembly. The youths and elders believe that you can make a difference in Abuja. The women and children who enjoy your regular milk of human kindness, believe that if you get to the House of Representatives, their life will be better and Yakurr/Abi will experience fresh air.

 

Your friends are already working towards realising this dream. Leading the pack is a man called Sam Asebe. He leads those who believe that you are the best person to assume that office. People are talking about your aspiration in all parts of the federal constituency. If this description fits you, then your name is Dr Alex Egbona. So, will you run?
