The Speaker also lauded the State Governor, Mr Udom Emmanuel, for his support to the 7th Assembly and urged the people to remain steadfast with the current administration in the state.

He sued for unity amongst the people and particularly urged the youths to chart the way forward for the development of Ukanafun LGA by abstaining from acts that may disrupt peace and order which had since returned to the area.

"The Governor has been good with us (House of Assembly Members), because without the Governor's support, we wouldn't have been able to do so much for our people. I thank Dr Charity for ensuring that her constituents feel the Governor's support too. I urge Ukanafun youths, the elders, and women to embrace peaceful", he said.
