He appreciated President Tinubu’s fatherly disposition in piloting affairs of the country, saying that the President has brought to bear his depth of understanding and experience in politics.
According to him, “this President is a father. He has been in politics long enough. He understands the dynamics that he has to put everyone together; that we must come to the table; we may be children from different mothers, but same father and it’s the responsibility of the father to bring everyone together.
“Let me thank Mr President for the opportunity he has afforded me, the exposure to learn as well as market Akwa Ibom. I don’t take this for granted.”
