Why Udom Emmanuel Is The Wisest Ex-governor In Nigeria by Ukobaba: 4:00pm On Jan 02
We may not know how long their love will last, but for now, in words and deeds, the immediate past Governor of Akwa Ibom State Mr. Udom Emmanuel seem to be a man who knows how to leave the stage completely when his time is up.

During this Yuletide season when the former Governor was in the state for about a full week, and today at the new year worship service organized by the Akwa IBOM state government, the former Governor continues to display uncommon wisdom, humility and absolute respect to the sitting Governor in a manner admired by all.

Which other former Governor in this country would describe his successor that he single handedly chose as sponsored as “the leader of the state, our father and our beloved governor “?

There is this rumour that Rivers State that Wike is asking for a large percentage of the state resources so that the sitting Governor would not perform more than him given the huge resources available in the state.

But today in his speech, former Governor Udom
Emmanuel said “I have been saying and let me repeat today that the present Governor will perform one hundred percent more than me”. That is an uncommon level of humility.

On the 25th of December, Udom Emmanuel hosted people of his community to a celebration and political office holders including the sitting Governor Pastor Umo Eno was in attendance. The following day being Boxing Day, the Governor Pastor Umo Eno also hosted a feast as his hometown in Nsit Ubium Local Government Area and his predecessor Udom Emmanuel had to reciprocate his successors gesture by visiting the Governor’s village to attend the ceremony. And in all occasions speaks less of himself and more of the Governor including spending a very brief time in his speeches allowing the sitting Governor to have more of the day.

The Governor openly said recently that the ex governor is not giving him any pressure, rather that he is the one trying to get the attention of the ex governor most of the times to get his contributions on issues. Which according to him the ex governor most times tells him “you are the governor “.

Can other ex governors learn from Udom Emmanuel of Akwa Ibom State? Let me see your opinion.

A man who humbles himself to serve will not be greedy to hold on to power. A wise man knows the power of a sitting governor, only the foolish ones will want to oppose a governor, you will be demystified , so wisdom demands that you respect the sit not the person

He handed over power to someone he has admiration and respect for, and not to an errand boy.

My love 💕 for Anambra and Akwa Ibom state is akin to what a young teenage Virgin girl feels when she sees her love 💕.

You wrote your nonsense and mentioned Rivers state and Wike. Guy abeg face your state and leave Rivers state alone. We don't care about dogmeat eaters.

Check the Akwa Ibom Governor's profile and check Sim's profile.

If not for Wike, Sim is not qualified to serve the Akwa Ibom Governor tea.

As it should be.

It is common sense that when one leaves a political office, you do not hang around that office. Allow the newcomer to cut their teeth and leave their own impact.

An ex-officio member in this case is like a parabola. Even your positive contributions will yield problems.
