Allow me work, Gov Umo Eno lambast politicians trooping to Akwa Ibom government house

Governor Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom state has cautioned politicians who visit the state government house without invitation. 

Speaking to stakeholders, the Governor expressed his concern about uninvited guests who have been causing distractions, even though the people of the state do not judge him based on the number of visitors he receives at the government house.

In his words, "I will not go to anybody’s office without an appointment. I find it amusing that people would just leave their home and just show up, and they will call you that they have not been allowed to pass through the Government House gate.

"Allow us to hold the meeting we can hold, treat some files – you know we are almost treating files late, and I have tried to manage it for some time, but people would get angry. 

"I will only receive visitors on Thursdays and Fridays. I beg us, between Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, I will not receive visitors. Between Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, I will not receive visitors to allow me time to do the job that you have elected me to do because no one would ask how many visitors I received at the end of four years. They will ask what we did.

"Allow us to hold the meeting we can hold, treat some files. You know we are almost treating files late and I have tried to manage it for some time, but people would get angry. Some people will say we just elected you, he is locking us out. That is not the issue. Let’s try and understand," he said.
