President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, has charged the Akwa Ibom State Governor, Pastor Umo Eno, on the need to unite the state across party lines for the continued development and progress of the state and not make his father’s enemies his enemies. He described the Governor as a man of peace and an Apostle and disciple of peace, noting, “Akwa Ibom is a very easy state to rule and govern but also a very difficult place to unite.”
According to a statement signed yesterday by Akpabio’s Special Assistant on Media, Jackson Udom, he gave the charge while on a courtesy visit to the Governor in his office, in Uyo on Friday. He said: “it is a major duty bestowed on you by God to unite the whole state. Let your actions speak unity to the the state. As a governor, I united the state by appointing people into key positions without considering where they came from. “I want you to unite your people without any political considerations. Even if you inherited a policy that was not in the best interest of the state, have the courage to change it.”
