I thank my political father, and predecessor Deacon Udom Gabriel Emmanuel for making it possible that I am standing here today. He was the one that rallied support, and against all odds brought me and support me.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I read certain things in the papers I just laugh. And I think we should grow pass the level where we keep trying to knock heads together.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s not my style I will never be part of it. I keep relationship. And we cannot destroy the leaders and people that God has given to us. Most of those we destroy , one day we will meet them, and there\u2019s really no need\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n<p>The governor revealed that some mischievous persons were using the media to disseminate false information about the finances of the state.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe other day somebody quoted figures of two two months allocation Udom has taken. Quoted N30billion. I wish i have seen N20billion in a month, not to talk of giving two months allocation to one person and you are still running the state.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believe such people are among us and we should do our best to ensure that we live harmoniously, promote our progress. I am not saying that you should not criticize, but criticize very constructively and make your suggestions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can do that without insulting our leaders because others are praising their own leaders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Eno stressed that he will not waste the resources of the state on political jobbers in order to secure a second term but will rather use the finances of the state for the betterment of the 7.9 million Akwa ibom people.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer spacer collapsible\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Akwa Ibom state governor, Pastor Umo Eno, has said that there were attempts by dark-minded individuals in the state to set him against his immediate predecessor in office, Udom Emmanuel.&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":107989,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-107988","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exclusive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
