Immediate past governor of Akwa Ibom State, Mr. Udom Emmanuel has revealed what he noted as his greatest regret as governor of Akwa Ibom State.
The ex-governor made this revelation during a Special Thanksgiving/Welcome Service by the United Evangelical Church, Lagos Township Superintendency, on Sunday, organised to honour him and his wife, Mrs. Martha Emmanuel.
According to Udom, he went to work as Governor with a blueprint and despite all his accomplishments, his only regret is that he did not have control over policies.
The ex-governor said if he had control over the state’s policies, Akwa-Ibom would have been ahead of other states in Nigeria.
In his words; “The only regret I have is that I did not control policies. If I had control over policies as a state, trust me, we would have been miles ahead as a state. But today, I still thank God that we went with our blueprint and God helped us.”
