Governor Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom State has stated that his political future in the state is under threat.
Eno claimed he was threatened by the political establishment to share money or risk losing his second term.
On Saturday, he told media in Uyo, the state capital, that this was the case.
The Governor encouraged lawmakers to refrain from distracting his government since he was on a mission to address the issues that the people of the state were facing.
According to Eno:
“I have received a lot of threats from the political class that I won’t do a second term.
“I am putting money in rural development because a good first term is better than a useless second term.
“I don’t want to put more money in one person’s hands to the detriment of the 7.9 million population.”
Eno called on politicians to give him time till December to put the structure of governance on the right track in the State.
