UDEME ETUKEYEN – THE MAN FROM IBIOM

I am sure by now most of you would have known that I am trying to do a new Play in Uyo called Ibiom. As we speak, MTN, Anchor Insurance and Hope PSP have all joined the crusade. But long before they came was Udeme.

I had gone to my aunty Rosemary to say, although I am from Akwa Ibom, I am an unknown quantity in the place, and as such, I will need someone of goodwill, the right connections, and good character to work with, and she said, Udeme is your man.

She gave me his numbers, and I dialled, though I already had his numbers. I had met him during the heyday of South-South Professionals when we used to hold meetings at Albert Okumagba’s house. So, it was a reunion of sorts. Udeme has been phenomenal in bringing all Akwa Ibom elites together on this journey. He has made my entry into the circle very seamless, making this production a success before we even deliver it. His reach and respect are phenomenal; he even opened up to us, Obong Victor Attah, the highly respected and mercurial former governor of Akwa Ibom. Thank you, my brother, and God bless you.
