April 28, (THEWILL) – A senior apostle of the African Church in Akwa Ibom State, Reverend Richard Peters, has extolled the governor of the state, Mr Udom Emmanuel, for indelible milestones recorded within the eight years of his administration.
Speaking at a press conference in Uyo, on Friday the Cleric described Gov Emmanuel as a ‘Silent and focused’ achiever saying he has given governance direction and focus that would make the next administration find it easy to sail through.
Rev. Richard, who explained that the governor had silenced the naysayers with projects construction and commissioning, said the last phase of commissioning which the governor has embarked on across the state was a testament that he was poised to end well.
He, however, expressed hope that the transition/committee report handed over to the governor last week, would ensure a smooth, peaceful and seamless transition, as well as give the incoming administration a clear direction to start from
“People should encourage the governor, His Excellency, Deacon Udom Emmanuel, for his indelible milestones which have shut the mouths of the naysayers and opposition in the state.
“He does not make noise about his achievements, but they are boldly written everywhere that even the blind can feel and see them
“Despite all that he did since the inception of his administration, he is still commissioning projects till the last minute, as we can see in the commissioning of Ring Road 2, the road leading to the leprosy centre and so on, that is to show that the governor will finish strong.
“I can tell you that the governor has defined what leadership entails. For eight years on the saddle, he has given his leadership, focus and has achieved more than expected. He has holistically touched all sectors. The report from the transition committee is based on fact-finding and I believe it would help the incoming administration”, he noted.
He lauded Governor Emmanuel for not accepting to vie a senatorial seat as most outgoing governors were known for as a retirement package.
