Governor of Akwa Ibom state,
Emmanuel Udom, on Friday said that he could not disclose what he discussed with
President Muhammadu Buhari in UK.
He however insisted that whatever
was discussed, was in the best interest of Nigerians.
Udom was one of the People’s
Democratic Party (PDP) Governors that met with Buhari in London on Wednesday.
Speaking with State House
correspondents after meeting with Acting President Yemi Osinbajo, the Governor
said “I don’t think when you hold meeting even with your wife and children you
will come and make that public. The president is father of the nation and we
represent the sub unit of this nation and so is not everything that we
discussed that we should just come and say.
“It was a closed door meeting but
be ready assured whatever the president will discuss with the governors will be
in the best interest of all the citizens of this country,”
When asked to guess from what he
observed during the visit, Udom replied: “I’m not a medical doctor. Let me say
something here, even when you have a biological father you love your father,
you take interest in his well-being. I mean as a father to the nation, in my
personal opinion, I don’t think that is the issue now.
“The issue is that we should
thank God that God has answered our prayers, that is where I am coming from.
And let me also say, some of us behave as if the president, the governors are
superhuman, we are normal human beings, we also have challenges.
“So let us not think that because
we are governors or president we are superhuman. No. We are not God we mere
mortals like any of us here. So that should also make us play down on the way
we look at certain issues,” he added.

Sir, whether you tell us or not, with time, it will still surface, because nothing is hiding under the Sun. By then, you people will begin to give excuses on why it was kept hidden...
