That being said, I have read several pieces about the Member representing Eket State Constituency, Hon. David Lawrence. While others tend to see nothing good about his representation, others have applauded his efforts. This still boils down to the understanding of governance. The former set kicks against his second term bid, while the latter holds it in good faith. I will want to state emphatically here, that Hon. David Lawrence’s second term bid is a necessity.
The popular axiom that an empty bottle makes much noise, holds true in Hon. Lawrence’s case. He is a silent achiever. A strategists who, like the state chief executive , Gov. Udom Emmanuel. knows how to partner with investors to bring development to the people. This is service, the essentiality of human existence.
Service to humanity is touching lives. It is focusing on people- oriented projects. It is knowing what will work well for the people and going after it.
The problem with most people is that they think governance is “catch, kill and eat”. This is very funny. They look for immediate gratifications at the expense of a long term growth and progress.

This is where David Lawrence has been called names. But the truth is, the lawmaker is using his business ideas and strategy to bring projects that will be useful and beneficial to Eket people, even after his stewardship. He sees the future, and works towards bringing the future the people will be proud of closer.
A case in point is the Eket Modern Market Project. A look at the prototype of the market will convince you that in the nearest future. Eket will become an international business hub. Sons and daughters of Eket will be engaged in good businesses and be a blessing to their families, and by extension Eket community. It is on record that the lawmaker was given a guarantee of 30% interest rate, which he also facilitated the sale of the shops, on completion of the projects. He understands the terms and conditions agreed with the Chinese firm, and is the only person that will push the project to completion.
Is this the kind of project we should abandon? Many of this type of project initiated by this silent achiever abound. That is why I said that Hon. Lawrence’s reelection is a necessity.
Many constituents have failed to listen to him. One of them argued that Hon. Lawrence has not proposed any bill in the house since his assumption of office as a lawmaker. This is quite laughable. If I want to sound funny, how many of the laws so far made have translated into food on your table? Bills upon bills have been proposed and many passed into laws by lawmakers. How has it affected your life positively. This does not in any imply that the job of lawmaking is of no essence. But it is more beneficial to involve in projects that will benefit the people than engage in making laws that a common man may not know anything about.
The only way that the projects that the Eket lawmaker have initiated so far, to be completed is to support his reelection. Those people- oriented projects are investment the entire Akwa Ibom will be proud of on completion. Eket will be spotted on the global commercial map because of the ingenuity and creativity of Hon. Lawrence.
It is time to drop sentiments. It is time to reason logically and see the future from today. See the progress and development packaged in these projects for Eket people, and support Hon. David Lawrence for second term. It is more than a necessity.
