Akwa Ibom, Cross River Maintains Harmony, No Dispute Over 76 Oil Wells – Umo Eno

Akwa Ibom, Cross River maintains harmony, no dispute over 76 oil wells – Umo Eno. Akwa Ibom State Governor, Pastor Umo Eno, has reaffirmed that the state has no dispute with Cross River State over the ownership of 76 oil wells.

Speaking today during the monthly prayer meeting at the Government House Chapel, he stated that the Supreme Court had twice ruled in favor of Akwa Ibom, declaring Cross River a non-littoral State. He urged citizens not to engage in a matter that has been legally settled.

Governor Eno also emphasized the importance of respecting and honouring past and present leaders for their contributions to the State’s development.

He condemned external influences attempting to discredit Akwa Ibom leaders without factual evidence. “It is difficult to understand how individuals who are not from Akwa Ibom seek to run down our leaders on on baseless allegations.

As Governor, I can confidently say that I have seen no evidence supporting such false accusations against our past leaders.”Pastor Eno said.

The Governor encouraged citizens to continue praying for the state, the President, and the nation, emphasizing the need for divine guidance in governance.

He also urged contractors and business owners to take advantage of the newly launched state procurement portal, which provides transparent access to government contracts. He announced that over 400 jobs are currently available through the portal and encouraged qualified individuals to register.

Said he “We have several projects, including the construction of the Aviation Village, Commissioners’ Quarters, Legislators’ Quarters, and Judges’ Quarters. We will not award multiple projects to one person. These contracts will be given to qualified Akwa Ibom people who are duly registered on the portal.”

Governor Eno reiterated his commitment to fairness in contract awards, stressing that opportunities should be based on merit rather than personal connections.

“We must build a state where people can bid for and secure government jobs without knowing anyone in power.” Gov Eno stated.

He also discouraged idleness, urging citizens to embrace hard work and self-sufficiency.

According to him “Do not sit at home while others are working and expect us to bring you money. When you work, you will be paid for your efforts and earn your profits.”

Commending the successful organization of the Town Hall/Town Square meeting at the Abak/Etim Ekpo/Ika Federal Constituency and the seamless execution of the Equipment Support Scheme program at Uyo Township Stadium, the Governor noted that both events were conducted without incidents or disruptions.

He further announced that the next Town SquareMeeting will be held in Oron Federal Constituency, with the date to be communicated soon.

Governor Eno also expressed gratitude to the minister for delivering an inspiring homily titled “The Battle Belongs to the Lord.”

Rivers Crisis: Wike Reveals That Fubara Is Not Ijaw

Rivers Crisis: Wike reveals that Fubara is not Ijaw. Former Rivers State Governor and current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has claimed that Governor Siminalayi Fubara is not an Ijaw man.

Wike made the statement while addressing a gathering of Kalabari people during a Thanksgiving Service and Civic Reception event organized in his honour on Saturday in Abalama, Asari-Toru Local Government Area.

Speaking at the event, Wike told the Kalabari people: “Let nobody deceive you that the governor is Ijaw; it’s not true. All of you are Ijaw, is it not? Are you benefiting? So what is this? Politics is interest. Political satire merchandise

“We must come up to say people must not behave and treat people, use and dump them, and then you say it’s politics. That politics has to stop.

“So, let nobody deceive you. When they go and collect money at the back, they will tell you, ‘let’s go and do this.’ Ask him, that one you collected last night, did you put my own there?”

Fubara Is Not Ijaw

Wike had earlier claimed that an Ijaw candidate could not have won the governorship in Rivers State without his backing. However, he later asserted that the Ijaw ethnic group is not the majority in any Niger Delta state except Bayelsa.

Additionally, Wike has been quoted saying that the Opobo clan, where Governor Fubara comes from, does not represent the “real” Ijaw people.

This latest remark comes amid the ongoing political crisis between Wike and Fubara.
