In a political climate where power is often pursued at all costs, a different kind of declaration has emerged from Ikom/Boki. One that is not asking for more time, but demanding accountability within less.
Former lawmaker, Hilary Ekpang Bisong, has stirred fresh conversations across the constituency after unveiling what he described as a “one-term covenant” with the people.
In the statement, Bisong drew attention to the growing hardship faced by residents, highlighting issues such as poor road infrastructure, limited access to electricity, unemployment, and inadequate healthcare. He noted that many young people in the constituency are “graduating into frustration instead of opportunity,” while farmers struggle to transport produce due to deteriorating roads.
He emphasized that the challenges facing the constituency require urgent and focused leadership, rather than routine political promises.
“Give me four years. Let me serve completely,” he stated, making clear his intention to seek only one term in office.
The declaration has sparked widespread reactions across the constituency. While some residents view the one-term pledge as a bold and uncommon approach in Nigeria’s political environment, others remain cautious, noting that political promises must ultimately be judged by performance.
Supporters of the former lawmaker argue that the commitment signals a results-oriented mindset, suggesting it could drive faster delivery of projects and measurable impact. They also point to his past engagements in several Boki communities as an indication of his experience and capacity.
The statement further touched on the need to rebuild trust within the Ikom/Boki constituency, with some voices calling for a renewed opportunity for representation that prioritizes unity and performance.
Observers say the coming months will determine how strongly the message resonates with voters as political activities begin to intensify. For many residents, however, the expectation remains consistent—leadership that delivers tangible improvements in daily life.
As the conversation continues, the focus across Ikom/Boki appears firmly fixed on one question: can a single term truly deliver the change people have long demanded?
