2023: Make Me The Man To Bring Back Lost Glory Of Nigeria, Udom Tells Enugu Delegates

“I couldn’t have been here to campaign because somebody who understands the problem of the entire region doesn’t need to campaign, all he needs to do is to remind his brothers that I have stepped in not because of any selfish reasons, rather, for the interest of all of us. I have stepped into this race to rescue and restore the lost glory of this nation.

“I’m not here to tell you I can, I urge you to use what I have done in the past seven years to judge me, and if I can replicate that at the centre, Nigeria will be a better country.

While decrying the dearth of industries in the country, he said that the once viable industries are all gone and promised to revamp them if elected citing the example of the coconut refinery in Akwa Ibom state which has been adjudged as the best in Africa.

“I want to reassure that hopes aren’t lost, we can rescue what we have lost, we can restore that glory, we can restore that entrepreneurship. All we need is somebody who understands, someone whose hands-on experience can tell you that if he has done this in the private sector and came into the public sector, with two recessions and COVID-19, we still have something to put on ground to tell our people that we have the sincerity of purpose, the capacity and the exposure, training and integrity to put things down. I believe, if given the opportunity at the largest scale; the national level, we will make a lot of difference and this region will regain its lost glory.”

On his plans to reform the country, Udom said, “Whatsoever we have now as a people is all that we need, we have never been dependent on other people, we use what we have, to get what we need and I can assure you that what we need now is excellent policies, safe and secured environment and the good old days will come back again.
