He said :
“I don’t know why anything good and very good in Akwa Ibom State, you will call me to take part in it. The longest flyover in Uyo, you asked me to come and commission it and I was very very pleased to be the one who commissioned that flyover.
“Again, with the amazing grace of God, you have this, the longest, first class, dualised road in the state. You again asked me to come and commission it. Governor, I thank you. Leadership requires character. Anyone who knows you reasonably well will know that you are a man of character.
“And one of the characteristics of a man or woman of character is to be a man of his or her words. When you say you will do it, you’ll do it. I have seen that in you at close quarters. Just keep on doing what you are doing.
“The infrastructures that you are putting in place are very, very good. When we have good infrastructure, when we have a road like this going through the rural area, there must also be what the people would do to ensure that they make maximum use and take maximum advantage of the infrastructure.”
