Udom Emmanuel, governor of Akwa Ibom state, has been commended for his “developmental strides” in the state.
Bala Mohammed, his Bauchi counterpart, made the commendation when he visited Uyo on Wednesday to commiserate with him on the demise of Udo Ekpenyong, the state PDP chairman.
According to Mohammed, Emmanuel’s developmental strides in the state and the unflinching support he has given to PDP, has not only endeared him to the party but has made him an inspiration in the party.
“You can see what Governor Udom Emmanuel has done in Akwa Ibom State in terms of bringing infrastructural development and services and being able to manage the scarce resources of the state,” he said.

“The way he is doing it, without any rancour, without any division and he is doing it in such a manner that shows good leadership.
“Governor Udom Emmanuel is someone that is reliable. Anytime PDP needs the services of a man that knows finance and has the finesse to do it, we always have him around to do it for us, and he does it with humility. He is a friend that I like so much, a young man that has the energy, penetration, acumen, intellect and all that it takes for someone to dispense services to the people.”
He described the passage of the PDP chairman as a trying moment for Emmanuel, the families of the deceased and the entire state, praying God to console the governor, strengthen the state and the party.

He also pledged the solidarity of the government and people of Bauchi with Akwa Ibom people.
“Please accept the condolences and commiseration from the government and people of Bauchi State, we are with you in this moment of grief and sadness and as a leader we know you will overcome it because we know it is heavy burden to bear but with your capacity and pedigree we know you will overcome it”, he said.
