The Mandate Eyes has observed the series of baseless attention seeking and frustration based bitter biles spewed by an unknown individual Tom Friedfish, hiding under the template of PAPA-J, whatever that means.

The Mandate Eyes notes that PAPA-J’s criticisms of the Akwa Ibom State government under the leadership of His Excellency Pastor Umo Eno PhD are baseless and lack substance, reflecting the group’s frustration and irrelevance.
The FriedFish, appears to be expressing disappointment stemming from stellar performance of Governor Eno, and his efforts at uniting the State, which accounts for the Governor’s general acceptability and endorsements from across the State. It’s understandable to have differing opinions, but it’s crucial to do so constructively. Pastor Umo Eno’s endorsements, is a democratic expression of the people’s will, and his administration is committed to delivering results which the Friedfish should get used to, by now.
Akwa Ibom State is indeed moving forward, thanks to the visionary leadership of His Excellency Pastor Umo Eno PhD. The administration has initiated and completed several projects across various sectors, including healthcare and infrastructure. Examples include the operational oxygen gas plant at Ituk Mbang hospital, functional health centers in each local government area, and ongoing /completed road projects.
In Abak where this Friedfish hails from, the Abak 10 road project is nearly completed, the Ukpom Abak – Pepsi Junction Road had been completed and commissioned, the Ikot Ekan- Ediene Abak Road is underway, the Ikot Ekang – Abak Itenge and adjoining roads are almost ready, the model school at Hosptal Road has been completed, is Friedfish too blind to see these?
Rather than focusing on baseless criticisms, it’s more productive to acknowledge the efforts being made to improve the lives of Akwa Ibomites. His Excellency Pastor Umo Eno PhD’s administration is committed to transparency and accountability, ensuring that projects are executed efficiently and effectively.
The CNG bus project is a prime example of the administration’s pragmatic approach. With projected timelines and standard proposals guiding the process, Akwa Ibomites can expect a well-executed project that will benefit the state. It’s telling that FriedFish is fixated on a 3-month gap between the arrival of the CNG buses and the completion of the service station. To the discerning people of Akwa Ibom State, this seems like a minor detail in the grand scheme of things. Isn’t it uncharitable and even mischievous of FriedFish to be nitpicking on such a trivial issue, rather than acknowledging the bigger picture of progress and development? It’s laughable that PAPA – J is archaic and out of touch to understand that AkwaIbomites can’t wait to have an efficient transport system that makes transportation easier across all the local government areas.
Constructive criticism is acceptable, but it should be based on facts and a genuine desire to contribute to the state’s progress. Tom FriedFish and PAPA-J would do well to focus on appreciating the positive developments in Akwa Ibom State.
The people of Akwa Ibom State are aware of the administration’s efforts and are supportive of the progress being made. His Excellency Pastor Umo Eno PhD’s leadership has brought hope and optimism to the state. The administration is committed to working with all stakeholders to ensure the state achieves its full potentials.
Ultimately, Akwa Ibom State’s progress is what matters most, and His Excellency Pastor Umo Eno PhD’s administration is delivering just that – results and service with integrity.
On a lighter note, PAPA-J sounds like an Ijebu native doctor name seeking to defraud innocent people of their hard-earned money with quick wealth rituals. FriedFish should first register this group and consider a membership drive before further constituting himself into a public nuisance.
