The CLO Chairman noted that he was deeply touched by the kind dispositions of Comrade Ini Ememobong and his foundation. Comrade Isong who called on all the appointees of Governor Udom Emmanuel including the Commissioners, Special Advisers, Senior Special Assistants, Special Assistants and Personal Assistants to emulate Ini Ememobong Foundation, also urged the National Assembly members from the state, the House of Assembly members, the local government council Chairmen, Councilors, and other political officeholders at the federal, State and local government levels and other well-placed individuals, to emulate the humanitarian gestures of Ini Ememobong foundation in the fight against the pandemic.
