Akwa Ibom State governor, Pastor Umo Eno, has said he faces opposition from old politicians who kick against his decisions.

Eno, who said the era of ‘knowing someone in government to get a job’ in the state civil service has ended, insisted that all applicants for the 3,000 job slots into the civil service recently announced must pass through a computer-based test.
Speaking at the weekend in Ikot Ekpene about his efforts in digitalising operations in the state civil service, the governor said, “Most of the politicians who are the old stock do not agree with me.”
He said, “They still bombard my phones and tell me this is not workable. But I know it takes just one person to push something through, and it takes people who do not know anybody to come to government, and they will know that they got this job by the grace of God.”
The governor stated that he was representing the majority of Akwa Ibom people who do not have anyone to speak for them.
He added that his emergence as governor was because his predecessor, Udom Emmanuel, believed in his capacity, adding that if it were on a ‘man-know-man basis’, he wouldn’t have been governor.
“As a governor, I came to this office only by the grace of God and through the help of my predecessor, Udom Gabriel Emmanuel.
“I believe that I’m here to represent the vast majority of those who have nobody to speak for them but have the capacity to get the job done. And that is one thing that digitalisation will do. It’s a leveler for everybody, and that’s the truth,” he explained.
