Politicians threatening me to share money or risk second term - Akwa Ibom gov, Eno

Governor Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom State has alleged threats to his political future in the State.

Eno said he received threats from the political class to share money or risk forfeiting his second term.

He disclosed this while addressing journalists in Uyo, the State capital on Saturday.

The Governor urged politicians to stop distracting his administration because he was on a mission to address the challenges confronting the people of the State.

According to Eno: "I have received a lot of threats from the political class that I won't do a second term.

"I am putting money in rural development because a good first term is better than a useless second term.

"I don't want to put more money in one person's hands to the detriment of the 7.9 million population."

Eno called on politicians to give him time till December to put the structure of governance on the right track in the State.
