Gov. Udom Emmanuel has no hand in my nomination as minister, says Udo Udoma
By Chris Ubong
Senator Udoma Udo Udoma, the Akwa Ibom State minister designate has debunked the claims making the rounds that the Akwa Ibom State Governor,Udom Emmanuel nominated him to serve in the cabinet of President Muhammadu Buhari as a minister.
Sen. Udoma expressed sadness about the story and described the story as a serious blackmail taken too far by unprincipled and desperate politicians in the state. In his words “Gov. Udom Emmanuel didn’t nominate me. Mr. President having seen my credentials and records submitted to him by All Progressives Congress elders and stakeholders in Akwa Ibom State, felt I am qualified to serve in his government”.
To further repel the rumour, Sen. reminded Akwa Ibom people to distance themselves from such ungodly story as he will officially declare his unalloyed support to President Buhari and all he stands for after his screening and confirmation as a Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria by the Senate.
Speaking with our reporter on phone, Senator Udoma Udo Udoma expressed sadness on the idleness and blackmail tendencies amongst Akwa Ibom youth hence the reason for them to resort to insult and fabrication of lies against innocent citizens of the state.
He urged Akwa Ibom people and Nigerians to support President Buhari’s administration and his Change programmes that are visible in all parts of the country.
