He was speaking on behalf of the National Assembly as chairman, Akwa Ibom caucus in the House of Representatives, at the state banquet organized to celebrate Akwa Ibom’s 36th anniversary of creation at the State Government House, Uyo.

In his words “I want to say, on behalf of the caucus that we’re very proud to come from Akwa Ibom state.”
“I had the opportunity some weeks ago to traverse the entire country, to see states that were created like fifty years ago, you can’t compare them to Akwa Ibom state”
“We’re blessed with seasoned leaders. From the military trained leaders to an architect, Obong Victor Attah in 1999, who fought and got us the resources we’re enjoying today, and handed down a state master plan, to an acclaimed lawyer in 2007 in Chief Godswill Akpabio, who dotted our landscape with massive infrastructure, to a seasoned banker in 2015, in the person of Deacon Udom Emmanuel, who took us from land to the air, through Ibom Air, and in 2023, a seasoned entrepreneur, who has in just about 100 days in office, taken us international.”
