The outgoing Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Udom Emmanuel, has revealed that he did not seek election to the Nigerian Senate because as a “professional in politics,” he did not look at the next election but the next generation.
“In every country on planet earth, the presidency is based on economic blueprints, and we can have a good economy; that’s what the nation needs. I have what it takes to put this country back on track,” Emmanuel said. Speaking on the country’s current challenges, particularly the brain drain, Emmanuel said it was multi-sectoral and beyond the power of a subnational.
“But now people are leaving for so many reasons, and I keep saying this, employees do not resign their jobs they resign their bosses – they love the jobs, but what their bosses put in place for the job is what they don’t like.” Although the governor did not mention anybody’s name in particular, several APC presidential aspirants, including his predecessor, Godswill Akpabio, after losing at the presidential primary, contested for Senate and won.
