Udom Emmanuel, Akwa Ibom State Governor, has said he has no plans to impose a successor to reach him at the end of his tenure in 2023.
At a parley with Chapel heads and selected journalists at the Government House in Uyo on Tuesday, Emmanuel said only God will decide his successor, adding that he would not allow the issue of succession derail his completion agenda.
“We are making efforts to ensure the timely completion of projects, therefore, I am not going to be distracted on the issue of succession plan, as only God can decide who succeeds me in 2023,” said the Governor.
“i have no intention of imposing a surrogate, rather, I will focus on my administration’s blueprint and bring more meaningful developments to the state.
“As soon as I leave as Governor, I would not rule for a third term through a stooge; I will leave with my I-phone and laptop.
“So, people should be patient and know that God alone will produce the next Governor for the state.”
