“Umo Eno has the humility to listen and the capacity to deliver. Among those that came out to contest, Umo Eno is the only aspirant who did not belong to any known group and has Akwa Ibom as his own group. The argument was that if you hand the state over to this one, you have it over to this or that group. jamb results
“As the leader of the Ibibios and by extension Akwa Ibom State, I had the responsibility of presenting Pastor Umo Eno as the best to take over from Governor Udom Emmanuel. It was not a decision of one person, but collectively a decision of stakeholders”, he said.
Speaking on Governor Udom Emmanuel’s willing acceptance of the man identified and endorsed by the stakeholders, Attah said having a successor who would not continue on the legacies of his predecessor could be detrimental to the future of a state.
“Lagos State government has benefited largely from continuity, the reason is that If you pick a fight between the presence and the past, then you have lost the future. That was why most of my legacy projects such as the Science Park and the University of Science and Technology were abandoned”, he added.
While reiterating his optimism that Umo Eno will bring his private sector zeal and energy into governance, he also advised the PDP governorship hopeful and other youthful leaders to be willing to consult past governors/leaders for ideas to make the state better.
