Governor Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom state has denied any rift with his predecessor, Udom Emmanuel, saying such reports which he said were misleading and being perpetrated by those who were not informed.
He said reports about the monthly allocation being shared were also inaccurate, adding that the monthly allocation from the Federal Account was barely enough to pay contractors, settle civil servants entitlements, pay pensions and gratuities.
The governor who was speaking during the interaction with journalists, said it was wrong to insinuate that the former governor who left office in May this year was getting part of the monthly allocation, adding that such a notion was disrespectful to a former leader who had made personal sacrifices in the running the state.
“This month, I got N11 billion as monthly allocation from the Federation Account, we spend about N10 billion for salary, pensions and gratuity, and N3 billion for the payment of old and new contractors The state government cannot fund every project. I don’t want to put money into a waste pipe”, he said.
