Incumbent Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Udom Emmanuel on Friday publicly declared intention to run for the governorship position in 2019 General Elections.
TheNewsGuru (TNG) reports Governor Udom made the declaration at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo, capital of the state.
The governor, while asking for support for a second term from the people of Akwa Ibom, said he is submitting himself again as a Servant-Leader to the people.
“I come today following the ratings and commendations of Akwa Ibom People drawn from the 3 Senatorial Districts in our state & also cutting across diverse segments of our population, that I have made results-oriented efforts in serving Akwa Ibom people since I was elected in 2015.
“I have operated a Christ-centric Government, I have led a People-centric Government, I have worn humility like a badge of honour, believing that power comes from the people; I have refused to hurl insults at people who have attacked and called me names.
“I have been a Servant-leader which I had promised you. I have maintained peace in Akwa Ibom State and brought about civility in our engagements. I hereby submit myself to complete the Divine Mission which you had first sent me to accomplish in 2015,” Udom told the mammoth crowd gathered at the stadium.
