Gov Eno sends strong message to party leaders, influential persons
Governor Eno said he would not be swayed by the pressure of some few influential people at the detriment of the people of Akwa Ibom.
He revealed that his administration has already engaged with local government chairmen to acquire 50 hectares of land in each area for agricultural purposes.
He said:
“I prefer a good first term than a useless two-term. It is only when you account for four years well, that you would be asked to go again. I’d rather put money in rural communities. My job is to ensure that the 7.9m people are satisfied. I discovered that almost everybody is waiting for the government."
“We are working with the 31 Local Government chairmen on agricultural development. We will be using not less than 50 hectares of land per Local Government Area for farming."
