UMO BASSEY ENO: THE INSIDE STORY OF A WORTHY SUCCESSOR
As Udom Gabriel Emmanuel neared his second and final term of eight years as the governor of Akwa Ibom State in 2023, his precatory prayer was who to pass the baton of leadership to after a stellar performance. A man of faith; he needed Divine Guidance and Wisdom in choosing a worthy successor. Akwa Ibom is a mini gestalt and thus the new helmsman must be a servant-leader, a steady hand and shrewd administrator who is catholically-minded to maintain the peace Emmanuel imprinted throughout his administration. Furthermore, the in-coming sachem must be a non-career political bridge-builder capable of managing people and resources and sustain the panoply of developmental projects in the Land of Promise. His Excellency Gov. Udom Gabriel Emmanuel then sent for Dr. Moshood Ademola Fayemiwo. This is the anatomy of the concatenation of events that led to the choice of the man once known as the governor of Royalty Hotels & Recreation Ltd and who eventually became in reality the democratically-elected Governor and Chief Executive of the oil-rich Akwa Ibom State, Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Who is Umo Bassey Eno? How did his upbringing in his native Ikot Ekpene shape his future career as a businessman? What and who instilled his Christian values and what were the forces that shaped his early life? How did he morph from a businessman to a politician? Who were the other candidates in consideration as Emmanuel’s successor? What factors did his predecessor take into consideration and what were the unique qualities in Eno that catapulted him to the front runner as PDP governorship candidate in 2023 and ultimately the worthy successor to Udo Gabriel Emmanuel?
In Umo Bassey Eno: the Inside Story of a Worthy Successor read the behind-the-scenes permutations and balancing act employed in his choice as the governor in 2023. This mini-biography is the authoritative account by the man at the table in unarguably the last and most difficult decision by His Excellency Governor Udom Gabriel Emmanuel of Akwa Ibom State as he completed his second term in 2023.
