Akwa Ibom State Governor, Mr. Udom Emmanuel has urged citizens to avoid gambling with the future of the state, saying they need to safeguard the state from ruin.
Governor Emmanuel handed down the advice in a statewide broadcast yesterday to celebrate the 35th Anniversary of the state’s creation.
The Governor who cautioned the people against putting at risk the achievements recorded in the last 35 years, said the people of Akwa Ibom are not known for violence.
He therefore charged them to resist those who want to drag the state into a tensed mood for selfish political interests.
Governor Emmanuel decried the attitude of some Akwa Ibom people who play politics with development by spreading falsehood that the industries established by his administration like the Jubilee syringe, Flour mill and Ibom Airline among others, do not exist.
While listing his achievements in the last seven years, the Governor said he had no apologies towards any of the projects executed in his administration, since posterity will judge him fairly as he invested the state’s resources in areas that will usher Akwa Ibom into prosperity.
