He said his administration will leverage on abundance natural resources deposited by nature in Oro land, with the view to creating wealth for the people of the area, especially the youths and the generality of Akwa Ibom people.

The Frontline gubernatorial aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party in the state, maintain that gone are the days when political jobbers will come with their intrigues of donating farely used cars, all in the name of empowering the people, without any hope of what would be used to service or maintain such cars, but rather they should remained focused and be able to provide jobs to the unemployed youths in the state instead, which he noted will sustain them.

The Nsit Ubium born business man and preacher of the gospel, told members of the press that he has put in solid good years to invest in Akwa Ibom State, thereby contributing his quota in a bid to reduce unemployment rate as well as putting food on people's table.

"I started investing in this state some 30 years ago, providing jobs, engaging in wealth creation and putting food on people's table. I'm not an accidental money maker, I don't go anywhere, I don't have government money around me, all my children are here and it shows that I have faith in this state.

"Modesty will forgive me, I don't need anything in life again, our last child is in the university now. Someone told me last year that I will be running for Governorship and I said I was waiting for the governor to endorse whoever God laid in his heart, so that we can work with that person, but it turned out to be myself. This is a burden on me, when you go out and see the number of youths running around without jobs, you'll would know that there is a problem. I see this as destiny calling on me to do something and I am passionate about it.

"All my investments are here, if this state fails, everything I have will also fail. They have alternatives, please look for that man who do not have plan B, that man who says we die here, that man whose only option is Akwa Ibom State", Pastor Eno said.
