“A governor in this country has invited the President to commission a project, invited the Vice President to commission the same project and even invited me to commission the same project. But in Akwa Ibom, I commission new projects and every new project exist to add value to an already existing project.”

On succession, the former President believes that Governor Emmanuel has left a legacy for Akwa Ibom People through the governor-elect, Pastor Umo Eno.
