Akwa Ibom State pensioner and retired nurse, Mrs. Betty Udoh, from Edo in Esit Eket Local Government Area, has stressed the need for Governor Umo Eno to be voted into office for a second term.

She maintained that the Governor is a detribalized leader who has carried everyone along and deserves to be supported massively at 2027 general elections.

Sharing her thoughts yesterday during a car conversation with other passengers from Uyo to Eket, Mrs. Udoh emphasized that Governor Umo Eno is indeed a man that is widely loved by Akwa Ibom people especially the pensioners because of his deliberate love for the elderly in the society.

She commended the Governor for clearing the backlog of pension and gratuity to primary school teachers which wasn’t given attention by previous administrations.

“The Governor has paid gratuity to pensioners from 2012 to 2024. Before, when civil servants received money, pensioners will not. Today, if civil servants receive money, pensioners are paid the same day.

“We the pensioners came to thank him for what he has been doing and we have resolved to vote him for second term. We came to honour him and tell him that we will vote for him in 2027 elections to continue with his good works in the State.

An excited Mrs. Udoh, further thanked Governor Eno for the additional one month salary christened “Umo Eno Mber” and the transport fare which he promised all the pensioners, maintaining that he has priotized the welfare of workers and pensioners which deserves commendation.

Speaking further, the retired nurse noted that the Governor came to see a health system in the State that was almost collapsing and has resuscitate it with recruitment of nurses and building of new health facilities.

She observed that some of the newly recruited nurses haven’t done well hence the Governor’s appeal for some retired health personnel who are willing to step in and offer their services.

“Some of the newly recruited nurses are not doing well. The Governor has called all the retired health workers who are willing to work to step in. He want us to go back and teach these younger ones. If you go to any general hospital, you will see the phone number of Honourable Commissioner, Permanent Secretary pasted on the wall for you to report any misconduct by doctors and nurses,” she disclosed.

She therefore suggested that the Ekpene Obo hospital in Esit Eket should be converted to General Hospital while Uquo Hospital at the council headquarters should be converted to Cottage Hospital to serve the generality of Esit Eket people.
