He said, “My dear Akwa Ibomites, if what you are desiring is a successor who will not have the capacity and the discipline to build a state where you and your children will live in peace and strive to excel if you are desiring a successor who will turn back the clock of our developmental strides if you are desiring a successor who will bring out the worst in our youths as opposed to galvanising their energies and challenging them to be the best they can be, if you are desiring a leader who would not efficiently utilise the resources of this state on projects that have redeeming value, then I am sorry to disappoint you, God will not give us such a successor.”
