The Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Udom Emmanuel has said the
Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Ahmed Tinubu was
incapable of selling his manifesto despite the conducive atmosphere the state
government provided for him to flag off his campaigns rally in the state.
Udom claimed Tinubu has proven to the people that he has
nothing to offer but only blabs and insults on the integrity of the people as
he did to over 7.9 million Akwa Ibom people.
Tinubu during his campaign rally at the State-owned Nest of
Champions International stadium on Monday warned Akwa Ibom people against
voting Atiku Abubakar, claiming he would sell off their palm trees and run to
Dubai.
The APC flag bearer using pidgin described the Akwa Ibom
governor as a “boy” who brought the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar
to the State
He said, “Akwa Ibom, that Boy wey bring Atiku here, wey de
call himself Governor, tell him enough is enough! He lives in my backyard in
Lagos, If no be say we be one I would have driven him home. You see that
mansion he is living, I would just use lizards, pigeons and scorpions and put
inside.“
Speaking while inaugurating the newly appointed Permanent
Secretaries, Chairmen and Members of Boards and Commissions, as well as a
Transition Committee in Government House, Uyo on Monday evening, Governor
Emmanuel said he would not condescend to respond to Tinubu’s abuses because
they were empty.
He said Tinubu has nothing to bring to the table for
Nigerians, hence his decision to abuse people and rain insults during his
presidential campaigns.
He, however, wondered “if it is possible for any Akwa Ibomite
to go to Lagos that Tinubu stays or the actual State that he hails from, to
insult him in like manner and still be allowed to safely return home, “but here
our people at the Stadium including some state governors just laughed and
applauded him”.
He said, “it is sad that Tinubu, who was granted State-owned
facilities such as the airport, security, stadium, and a good atmosphere to
come in and sell his manifesto, ended up coming to insult the integrity of over
7.9 million Akwa Ibom people.
“What makes him think he will govern Nigeria? If I reply him
now, people will call me and say, haba oga you are not like that. But I will
reply him one day. There is nothing like ‘emilokan’ (it is my turn)here,
Nigeria is in God’s hands.”
The Governor who is the Chairman of the PDP presidential
campaigns advised Tinubu to borrow a leaf from Atiku who when he visits any
state would not abuse the governor of the state.
The governor also thanked the newly appointed Permanent
Secretaries for accepting the onerous task of service and urged them to see
themselves as ambassadors and work towards raising the bar of leadership which
will encourage productivity and promote good working relationships with
subordinates in the service.
