The governor of Akwa Ibom State, Udom Emmanuel, has expressed his displeasure with Asiwaju Bola Tinubu’s uncontrolled, unpatriotic, and immature remarks regarding the governor of the state as “a boy.”
At the inauguration of newly chosen Permanent Secretaries, Chairmen, and Members of Boards and Commissions, as well as a Transition Committee to ensure a smooth handover of power to the following administration, Emmanuel delivered the statement on Monday evening at Government House in Uyo.

The Governor expressed regret that Tinubu, who was given access to state-owned resources like the airport, security, stadium, and a favorable environment to promote his platform, instead chose to visit and insult the character of more than 7.9 million Akwa Ibom residents.
Ahmed Bola Tinubu campaigned for president on Monday at the Akwa Ibom International Stadium in Uyo.
“Akwa Ibom, that Boy brought Atiku here; he calls himself Governor; tell him it’s enough!” In Lagos, he lives in my backyard.
If no one had said we were a couple, I would have driven him home. You can see the mansion where he resides; I would simply put pigeons, scorpions, and lizards inside.
In response, Governor Udom Emmanuel questioned whether any Akwa Ibomite could insult Tinubu in a similar way in Lagos, where Tinubu resides, or in his home state, and still be permitted to safely return home.

“But here, our people at the Stadium, including some state governors, just laughed and applauded him,” he said.
Despite being insulted by the former governor of Lagos State, Governor Emmanuel stated that he would rather allow peace to reign by ignoring him and concentrating on helping to erect good governance to free Nigerians from their current plight.
“What gives him the idea that he can run Nigeria? People will call me and say, “Haba Oga, you are not like that,” if I respond to him right away. But one day I will respond to him. Nigeria is in God’s hands; there is nothing like ‘Emilokan’ (it is my turn) here.
“I also travel to other states, and if you watch our campaigns, my principal (Atiku Abubakar) has never spoken about any Governor, and he has never openly spoken about Asiwaju before,” the governor who is the chairman of the PDP presidential campaign, said.
However, the governor of Akwa Ibom assured Nigerians that Tinubu had nothing to offer the country’s citizens, which is why he chose to abuse people and hurl insults their way while running for president.
