“I know that there is leadership challenge in the country, but good people like Governor Emmanuel need to be celebrated. He has done well and deserves praise.” He finished.
In his response, Emmanuel said he was encouraged by the decision of Hall of Grace to recognise his effort in transforming Akwa Ibom State.
