Who Won the U.S. Presidential Debate?

They insisted that the governor must accept to serve a two-term tenure of 8 years like his predecessors in the state, adding it was improper to shift the goalpost before the end of the match.

The Leader of the Akwa Ibom North East (Uyo Senatorial District) Consultative Forum, Senator Effiong Bob while addressing a press conference had maintained that the governor has already etched his name in gold through his unprecedented strides in office in just one year.

He said, “Today, in just one year, the verdict by millions of Akwa Ibom people on the performance of His Excellency, Pastor Umo Eno is that in just 365 days, he has effortlessly etched his name in gold first in the hearts of the people and most importantly as a man whose governance is built on humanity and compassion. We can’t shift the goalpost before the end of the match, he must complete a second term of 8 years like his predecessors”

But speaking with newsmen in Eket on Tuesday, Essien, a former lawmaker and political leader of Akwa Ibom South Senatorial district said he believes that 8 years should be earned as a result of performance in the first mandate.

“Let me repeat myself here, I have never been a fan of every person in an office doing 8 years after one year in office. I believe that 8 years should be earned as a result of performance in 4 years of office. You can’t automatically earn 8 years when you haven’t done well in 4 years,” he stated.
