According to Effiong, "I would like to use this medium to thank our big friend Mr Asuquo Ekpenyong (Suki) because this is one man that is deeply concerned about security in Akpabuyo and whenever we have issues in Akpabuyo we call him and his response is always rapid "



"He gave me his direct lines and told me to reach out to him whenever there are issues in Akpabuyo, besides that, he has also single-handedly sponsored enlightenment programs for the youths to shun all forms of social vices in our local council and we are grateful for his commitment to bring peace to Akpabuyo".



The youth leader however called on other major political players from the Cross River Southern Senatorial district to support the ongoing efforts against kidnapping in the area adding that " If we pull together as one we can drive out the menace of kidnapping and armed robbery in our local government and the state at large"
