“By this time next year, I will be here to also mark this day, if Jesus Christ tarries."

"We are here today, to celebrate your first year in office as our Senate President and to further reassure you of the determination and commitment of my administration to collaborate with the Senate under your leadership and the Federal Government, led by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, in the interest of our people back home and in the diaspora."

Responding, Senate President, Senator Godswill Akpabio, reiterated his resolve to use his good office, in collaboration with the Governor Umo Eno-led administration in Akwa Ibom, to promote the unity, development and peace of the state.

"I am very happy to receive you with your entourage, made up of Akwa Ibom lawmakers in the 10th National Assembly across party lines. It shows that we are one as indigenes of Akwa Ibom State, deliberately working for the unity, peace and development of our dear state, without any consideration for party differences."

"As a former Governor of the state and now the President of the Senate, I am more than committed to working with you and your government in the overall interest of our people. I thank you and your team for this visit and honour."

Umo was accompanied on the visit by serving members of the National Assembly and a former member of the House of Representatives, namely: Senator Ekong Sampson, Hon. Unyime Idem, Hon. Paul Ekpo, Hon.
