serving our state with him.”
“We are in the golden era of Umo Eno. Umo Eno has left nobody in doubt that he indeed came from God. When Udom Emmanuel said God wants Umo Eno as his successor, everyone thought he was talking politics but the reality on ground has shown this is God’s gift to Akwa Ibom. Umo Eno has come to clearly situate governance by taking it to the people.
As a leader, he has said he wants to work with everyone across party lines to get development for Akwa Ibom State. For me, we have enough reason to believe that Umo Eno is God’s gift for Akwa Ibom State.”
In his speech, Prince Enobong Uwah, Secretary to the State Government said, “Working closely with HE Pastor Umo Eno has been a wonderful experience. He is a very humane down to earth Leader whose eyes are on the ball. He came prepared, has the will, and has the ability to deliver. A disciplined workaholic and stickler for details.”
“As the commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, the last one year has been a great period of experimental tutelage in the application of deep compassion and people- centric focus in governance. His voluntary decision to handle staff welfare is most refreshing. With what has been done in the first year, I can only imagine the humongous joy that workers and the traditional institutions will have in the remaining years of this administration.”
Hon. Frank Archibong
Honourable Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs
“The most profound takeaway for me is witnessing a governor who not only articulates his priorities but also actively implements them. Governor Eno’s focus on education, healthcare, law and order, inclusiveness, infrastructure, and economic opportunities demonstrates a comprehensive approach to building a modern, thriving society. His actions speak volumes about his dedication to creating a better future for all.
The final lesson is leadership with the fear of God. Governor Eno, a pastor, exemplifies integrity in a way many religious leaders do not. His respectful relationship with his predecessor and the Senate President demonstrates his ability to manage diverse and conflicting relationships. With such leadership, Akwa Ibom is poised for accelerated progress in the coming years.”
Dr. Dakuku Adol Peterside
“When you listen to the appeal of any statement Pastor Umo Eno makes, you conclude that he is rare in scholarship. You see the picture of a man who is easy in style, and both mild and wise in reasoning and in judgment, “But I see him beyond these: He’s also a man of peace, and that is one criteria for policies to succeed and development to take root. He has done well to stabilize the state and close the ranks of hate, turning same into rocks of love where everyone across divides, political and otherwise, have run into for comfort. This has enabled him concentrate on development issues.”
Patrick Ekpotu, Former Deputy Governor, Akwa Ibom State.
“When you have a Governor who starts the year with prayers, the future is glorious and guaranteed.” Pastor. E. A. Adeboye
