Governor Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom State has pledged his commitment to always seek advice from his predecessor, Udom Emmanuel
Eno said that there exists no political discord between him and Emmanuel, who personally appointed him as his successor
He addressed the audience at this year’s Special Christmas Day ceremony, which took place at the United Evangelical Church (UEC) in Awa Iman, Onna Local Government Area of the state.
Eno added: “My predecessor has never put me under pressure since leaving office in May. On the contrary, we are the ones chasing him to ask him to always come around to advise us.
“I tell people that even when you are not in government, you are still working for this state. In eight years, you (Udom Emmanuel) taught us leadership, and you developed all of us. We have learned you, especially the lesson of tolerance
“You may no longer be governor today, but you will always be my governor and leader. You have a clear understanding of how these things work and I will always be your student.”
Kanyi Daily recalls that Umo Eno had promised to serve the people of the state with “utmost dedication.”
