Akwa Ibom: How Umo Eno Emerged As My Preferred Successor – Gov Emmanuel

Fresh from presenting his Commissioner for Lands and Water Resources, Pastor Umo Eno as his preferred Successor, Governor Udom Emmanuel, says his decision was based on the fact that he means well for the State.

The Governor disclosed this while fielding questions from a group of journalists earlier in the day and later at the commissioning of Spectrum Television, the State’s first privately owned cable television station, owned and operated by TAF Media Group, on why he settled for the Lands and Water Resources Commissioner.

“Let me say this emphatically, I mean well for this State, that is why I waited for God to show me the man who would continue  with the pace  of  developmental strides we have started in the last six plus years and then  move the needle even further.

“Pastor Umo Eno is a highly respected person; he has enormous capacity, is an epitome of humility, and is blessed with the common touch, a compelling story and is God- fearing.

“He is a successful entrepreneur who has employed our people, lifted thousands from poverty to prosperity.

“He will be coming to the office of Governor with an economic blueprint that will further guarantee employment, development, and economic prosperity for our people.

“He is a man of peace and will ensure that the peace and security of life we have enjoyed in the last six plus years will be maintained.

His life story resonates with the story of most ordinary Akwa Ibom people, Gov Emmanuel added in adducing more reasons how Pastor Umo Eno emerged as his preferred successor.

“He came from the Police barracks, where, as he said during his Thanksgiving Service last year, life was dreary and hope seemed a distant ingredient.

Through hard work, he summoned hope and overcame his early difficulties and ended up as one the biggest employers of labour in our State.

His story is a testament to our Dakkada philosophy; one that will inspire and motivate our youths.

The Governor stated that he never looked for a surrogate to do a third term but rather  was looking for a man of  exceptional capacity, of peace and humility and  enjoined all peace-loving and progress-minded  Akwa Ibomites to rally round and support God’s choice. 

“I will never use God’s name in vain” Governor Emmanuel stated at an interview at the Spectrum Television Studio with host, Ekaete Afia on how Pastor Umo Eno emerged as his preferred successor.
