Chief executive of the State explained that issues of 2023 is in God's hand, promising not to go for a third term through a surrogate, as he will only throw his weight behind whoever God chooses.

"We are here to rejoice with you, if it is only 100 days in office people are jubilating, this means after your 3 years in office, Uyo will speak not me”.


He acknowledged the council’s leadership style of effective followership, adding that the presence of major stakeholders shows the level of support and approval they have given the council chairman.


“Honestly, I am more excited to see all the major stakeholders in Uyo intact here, if you have not done any other thing, all these people you have made to queue behind you is the greatest thing you have done and I want to encourage you to continue in that path”.


In his address the Chairman, Uyo Local Government Council, Dr. Uwemedimo Udo, thanked Governor Udom Emmanuel for providing an exemplary leadership which he noted inspired him to render people-oriented service and projects in the council.
