The Governor who spoke in Uyo the state’s capital when a delegation of Journalists from the North paid him a visit said; “We must work together to bridge the gap even as we forgive the ignorance of those who want a divided country.

Borrowing a leaf elsewhere, Governor Emmanuel added that “America is a united and solid country using its diverse culture and people to that country’s advantage and that should be what Nigerians should be clamouring for”.
