Gov Eno Lets Out Secret Way He Will Appreciate Ibomites For Election

Akwa Ibom State Governor, Pastor Umo Eno, has pledged to express his appreciation of the support given him during the governorship election by dotting the geographical landscape of the state with projects that will gladden the hearts of the people.

He spoke Thursday when he met stakeholders from the 10 local government areas of Ikot-Ekpene Senatorial District at the country home of the Political Leader of the district, Chief Michael Afangide , OON, at Ikot Umo Essien, Essien Udim Local Government Area.

“We have come here today, standing in Annang Land, using our father, Obong Afangide as a point of contact to show our appreciation to Ikot Ekpene Senatorial District.

“It is by God’s grace that we are here as a delegation of the Akwa Ibom State Government, the Deputy, SSG and other elected office holders. We may not be able to go round from local Government to Local Government for the thank you visit but may do that through project flag off and project commissioning,” the governor said.

While noting that he could not physically go to every nook and cranny of the state to say thank you, he, however, said that his projects would go before him.

“We need to reserve time for the jobs you voted us into office because at the end of our tenure, you will not judge us by the number of people and Local Governments we visit but by the number of projects and positive developments that we give to our people. On this note, let me appeal to you, if you come to my office and can not see me,  please don’t be angry, just bear with us”, he stated.

Governor Eno said that he is armed with the promises made during the electioneering campaign days and sued for patience to enable him constitute the State Executive Council within the month, explaining that the projects would be executed inter-ministerially for proper supervision.

He thanked Mr Aniekan Ekwere for painstakingly compiling the promises and pledged his commitment to deliver on the promises to assuage the yearnings of the people .

“We will commence all the project as soon as we swear in our Commissioners. These jobs are critical jobs of different ministries. That is why we take time to put the foundation right because there is nothing the righteous can do if the foundation is destroyed.

” There is no part of this state across the 31 local Government Areas that my Government will not touch with positive and impactful project. We will extend it to the wards. We have a lot in the pipeline and God will help us to accomplish all.”

He particularly appreciated Obong Michael Afangide and all the Stakeholders for having stood by him and ensuring that they won the heart of the people to vote him massively into office , noting that their prayers and guidance contributed immensely to his success at the polls and reiterated his resolve to reciprocate the gesture with development projects in all the local government areas of the state.

“It is therefore deserving that we have come here to say thank you. Let’s give honour to whom honour is due. It might not have been easy if he didn’t support us.

Earlier in his welcome remarks, the Chairman Essien Udim Local Government Area, Mr. Anthony Luke Udoh, congratulated Pastor Umo Eno on his victory and extended the appreciation of Essien Udim people to the governor on the “Thank You visit”.

Speaking on behalf of Uyo Senatorial District, Senator Effiong Bob while commending the people of Ikot Ekpene senatorial district for the role they played during the recently concluded polls, stated that the visit was a promise kept by the Governor having vowed to appreciate the people once elected into office.

Senator Emmanuel Ibok-Essien who represented the Stakeholders of the district thanked the Governor for keeping to his words and assured him of their unflinching support throughout his government.

Similarly, the immediate past deputy Governor of the state, Mr Moses Ekpo,  thanked Governor Eno for the honour done them and assured him that the senatorial district will work assiduously to ensure that he has a smooth 8 years run and handover to Ikot Ekpene senatorial district after his eight years tenure.
