The Akwa Ibom State Governor, Pastor Umo Eno, has congratulated President Bola Tinubu on the Supreme Court victory, saying that with his victory at the apex court, all the litigations that trailed the President’s emergence at the February 25, 2023 elections were over.
He pledged that though Akwa Ibom State is a Peoples Democratic Party State, his government would continue to align with Tinubu’s administration to attract development to the state.
The governor said this during a “Thank You Meeting” by Christian Leaders in the State, at the Banquet Hall, Government House, Uyo, on Friday.
He reassured the group of his commitment to lead a united and prosperous Akwa Ibom State, to justify the confidence the church and entire people of the state reposed in him during the last gubernatorial election.
Eno said though the country is going through hardship occasioned by the removal of oil subsidy, his administration would make sure that every available resource is not wasted on frivolities but deployed for optimal benefits of the generality of the people
“When I say there is no money, I mean there is no money to throw around but there is money to do good things. There is money to do every good thing. Money to do investments will not be a problem in this state. Money by itself is a scarce commodity. If you throw money around like that, it will lose its value”.
The governor thanked the clergymen for not allowing divisive ethnic sentiments to saturate the church community, urging them to strive to keep the church united, irrespective of political or ethnic affiliations, to be in sync with his administration’s disposition.
