By Inyene Pius

As the politics of 2023 gathers momentum, Diplomatic Scholar and Public Affairs Analyst, Dr. Amah Williams, has described the gubernatorial candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Akwa Ibom State, Pastor Umo Bassey Eno as a competent candidate with concrete developmental policies and programmes that will engender development in the State if given the apparatus of governance.

Dr. Williams made this avowal on Thursday on Arise Agenda on Radio on Premium 89.9 FM: He said that the Arise Agenda of Pastor Umo Eno is a policy statement that would birth self-reliance, job creation, rural development and youth development.

He further emphasized the need to integrate youths into governance, noting that the youths are a very important demography that shouldn’t be discountenanced if any government must succeed.

In his words: “Self-reliance is an ingredient of the Arise Agenda owing to Pastor Umo Eno’s entrepreneurial antecedents. If he could create jobs as a private citizen, then as one who controls the affairs of the state, that’s an opportunity to do more”

“He has gone through the ranks, and has developed himself from a nobody to building a business empire from the root to where it is today. He has the experience, having dealt with cooperate bodies and individuals”

“Consequently, Akwa Ibom people should give Pastor Umo Eno the opportunity to implement these blueprint for the betterment of the citizenry.”

Also speaking on the Arise Agenda on Radio, a Strategic Communicator and Image Management Expert, Mr. Amanam Hilary described Pastor Umo Eno as a man who understands the times, the problems of the times, and how to address the challenges of the times.

He further justified the Arise Agenda’s focus on youth and skill development by stating that nearly all the sectors of the economy has to with young people since they are the drivers of the economy and the government.

He said: “Every government that wants to thrive must positively exploit the energies of the youths for human capital development. Pastor Umo Eno understands this and recognises value whenever he sees one”

“He did not just come up with the recently concluded Ibom Ignite Conference. That event has been ongoing for a couple of years. The emergence of the lofty programme is not as a result of his political aspiration, but an existing master plan for human capital development”

“He was the Commissioner for Lands and Water Resources in Akwa Ibom State during which there were indicators. He may not be a politician as some would say, but he is a technocrat who wants to bring to bear his experiences in the corporate sector into the political sphere.”

He further urged Akwaibomites to support the emergence of Pastor Umo Eno in the forthcoming governorship election, noting that it will not only breed sustainable development, but peace and shared-prosperity.

Akwa Ibom, Arise and Shine!
