He pledged that though Akwa Ibom State is a Peoples Democratic Party State, his government would continue to align with Tinubu’s administration to attract development to the state.
The governor said this during a “Thank You Meeting” by Christian Leaders in the State, at the Banquet Hall, Government House, Uyo, on Friday.

“When I say there is no money, I mean there is no money to throw around but there is money to do good things. There is money to do every good thing. Money to do investments will not be a problem in this state. Money by itself is a scarce commodity. If you throw money around like that, it will lose its value”.
The governor thanked the clergymen for not allowing divisive ethnic sentiments to saturate the church community, urging them to strive to keep the church united, irrespective of political or ethnic affiliations, to be in sync with his administration’s disposition.
He said, “What the devil is trying to do is to dissipate us and when we start fighting, they rejoice. Let’s look for them and tell them that politics is over. Let’s bring people back. Let’s build a united church so that we can have our strength.
“Let us join hands and support the Government. What the devil is trying to do is to dissipate us and when we start fighting, they rejoice”, he stated.

The CAN leader told the governor that the meeting was a representation of the various blocks that constitute the church community in the State and would engender greater support of Christians in the state towards the success of the present administration being led by one of their own.
