He said: “I think we are privileged to be given the opportunity to host the Governors. It has always been a tradition, and we must thank our predecessor for the great work he did to gain the confidence of his colleagues that made it possible for them to continue to use Akwa Ibom House as venue of the meetings.”

The Governor expressed appreciation to his colleagues for sustaining the legacy and particularly thanked them for honouring the invitation for the meeting, which he said had enabled them chart a way forward for the forum, and the party.

“For me, it is a vote of confidence in the things that we are doing, and I see it as a privilege. I would like to thank all our senior colleagues for giving us that privilege to host them. Again, you know I am from the hospitality industry so hosting people comes naturally to me,” he stressed.
