Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Udom Emmanuel has promised Nigerians to manage the enormous financial resources if elected as the president of Nigeria come 2023, which he has done over the years in Akwa Ibom state.

“This is a job well done. And a job well done means more job to be done.
You have taken the first step, go all way out and take all the steps and achieve results. At the end of the day, it’s not the effort that matters, but the results”
The Governor, however, frowned at a situation where high level qualifications and experience was set as requirements to engage someone to manage organisations, but only a Secondary School Certificate required constitutionally, to manage a country with over 200million people.
He stressed that certain things must be corrected in 2023, in order to move the country forward, and therefore advised that Nigerians must joins hands to make that better Nigeria that they crave a reality.
“Money is a principal thing. Nigeria today needs someone who understands money. It is unfortunate that if we are looking for a Managing Director of a particular company, the CV we seek, spans 3-4 pages, but when we are looking for a President of the country, based on the constitution, all we need is WAEC, no experience.
“In business if one can manage a kiosk, he can manage a shop, if he can manage a shop, it means he can manage a supermarket. So any governor who has managed a state well for eight years can manage a country well too.
“Whatever we can achieve as a country can never be a one-man-show. I believe everybody should join hands and make sure that we get it right in 2023”, Governor Emmanuel Said.
