Udom urges professionals to embrace politics

The Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Udom Emmanuel, has urged professionals in the corporate world to embrace politics and contribute to Nigeria’s development.

Emmanuel said this at the 18th investiture of the President of the Chartered Institute of Personnel Management of Nigeria in Lagos on Thursday.

He said, “I will like to encourage you to take this opportunity to take interest in public service and I hope some of you join me on the other side very soon. As they say, the best groups of people for an economy like ours are the professionals in politics because you are not desperate for anything.

“As professionals, we can start a new conversation today that would be predicated on selfless service to our people. How can we achieve this? Take care of the economy of this nation; at times, we professionals just think ‘what concerns me? I am not a politician’. Unfortunately, all of us must be interested, whether we like it or not, because the decision that we take as politicians affect your business in one way or the other.
