Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Udom Emmanuel, has opened up on why he has chosen his commissioner of lands, Umo Eno, as the preferred candidate to succeed him in office in 2023, saying that his decision was based on the fact that he meant well for the State.
He claimed that he waited for God to reveal to him the one who would continue with the development strides recorded in the state in the last six years.
Eno was unveiled on Sunday by Elders and Stakeholders of the People’s Democratic party and religious leaders at a meeting held at the government house lodge, Uyo.
Speaking on Monday while fielding questions from journalists during the commissioning of Spectrum Television, the State’s first privately owned cable television station, owned and operated by TAF Media Group, the governor said his choice is based on the love he has for the state.
