"Why must we sit down in Akwa Ibom, and the only source of commercial movement is
okada, that’s why government recently rolled out brand new 400 taxi’s for Uyo Our
intention is that in the next one year, we should have 1000 taxis with air-conditioners
moving around all the urban cities of Akwa Ibom State"
"As I speak today, this administration, in just one year in office has commissioned
at least, 256 projects. One major issue is that we are not developing Akwa
Ibom for people to praise us, we are developing Akwa Ibom for ourselves. I live
here, my house is here, my children come from here, I have moved my things from
Lagos to Akwa Ibom, if I do not have good roads, where will I drive my cars, if
there are no good schools here, where will my children go to, if there are no good
hospitals, if Iam sick where will I go to, so, people don’t understand, we must
have recreational facilities, so that we can take time to relax, bring international
events into the state, and turn AkwaIbom to an exhibition that people would come
and watch."
