TO AN EXTRA ORDINARY LEADER

It was with great shock and sadness that I heard the news that HON.UDO EKPENYONG had passed away.

From the day I heard that he was unwell and had been admitted in hospital, I held firmly to the hope that he would recover and continue to live up to his high calling of leadership.

I was privilege to work and interact with him and found a considerate leader
who was ever ready to use his considerable weight to support ones effort.
He was humble , selfless, loyal , diligent and a man of a pure heart and good conscience.
His vision was equality and opportunity for all irrespective of tribe, language,
colour , age or sex.

Honourable Ekpenyong untimely and unexpected departure has robbed my generation of an experienced leader who would have continued to provide us with invaluable wisdom as we strive to respond to our many challenges.

Like the words of late President Nelson Mandela "we constantly need to remind ourselves that the freedoms which democracy brings will remain empty shells if they are not accompanied by real and tangible improvements in the material lives of the millions of ordinary citizens".Honourable Udo Ekpenyong was a shining light of hope for democracy and his legacy is that very inspiring :"THAT YOU DON'T GIVE UP YOU KEEP ON TRYING."


May the outstanding fighter for good governance and sustainable democracy HON. UDO SAMUEL EKPENYONG, rest in eternal peace.

DR (MRS) ENO UDENSI

Late Hon Udo Ekpenyong was a great leader , a father , a mentor , a bold and sincere leader , May your soul rest in perfect peace , 

The angels looked down from heaven one night.
They searched for miles afar,
And deep within the distance
They could see a shining star.

They knew that very instant
That the star was theirs to gain,
So they took you up to heaven,
Forever to remain.

Look down on us from heaven.
Keep us free from hurt and pain.
You'll always be within my heart
Until we meet again.

We will miss you

Hon. Ekpenyong will be missed endlessly. A great loss to our land. May God bless his soul. Adieu our distinguished son!

HE WAS A GREAT MAN

I came very close to him at the last Election Petition Tribunal where I was counsel for a couple of the candidates of Obong Udo's party.

I had cause to meet one on one with him at his residence in Uyo for an extensive discussion on one of the cases that was seemingly intractable. His insights were deep and highly appreciated.

I met him closely again at the Supreme Court in Abuja on the day of hearing of the Governorship election petition appeal. We interacted on a wide range of issues concerning the petition. He wasn't a lawyer but he had a rich knowledge of legal procedures. He was the coordinator of the exercise up to the SupremeCourt.

Obong Udo was a great man whom we shall miss for a long time to come. He was a beacon of light and hope for his community and a political mathematician.

His demise is indeed painful.

May God rest his soul in peace in the bossom of Abraham our father.

Adieu, Great Leader!!

Words alone can not express how we feel as a party to have lost you at this time.
May your gentle soul rest in peace.

A Golden heart stopped Beating
Hard Working hands at Rest.✊
God Broke our Hearts to prove to us, he only takes the Best.
Oh... Etebom Ajid.. Iya Miss tutu
Though you're Gone from our sight but not from our hearts❤️

Rest easy on the wings of eternity.

Adieu Our Leader
Adieu Uncle Ajid
Adieu Etebom Ikot Oku Usung Ajid

Sangasong ooo!!!!!
Goodnight Etebom Ami

The late Obong Udo Ekpenyong has left a vacuum that will be hard to fill.
May God rest his soul.

A dependable, dedicated leader of our party. It's so sad you passed on hurriedly. Rest in peace!

Goodbye is never a simple gesture...

From all corners of the land
There are echoes of cries and pains
Cos it was a shocking departure
And still like a dream to many

Annang has lost a pillar
Akwa Ibom has lost an asset
Needless to say, your kind is rare!
And your legacies are evergreen...

What more can we say?
We are a people of faith
We believe our lost is Heaven's gain!
Take your rest for the angels await to give you a triumphant welcome!!

May the good Lord send divine comfort to your family
