If WAEC affirms that my certificates are forged, I’ll quit guber race and resign my pastoral calling – Umo Eno
The Peoples Democratic Party’s gubernatorial candidate in Akwa Ibom State, Pastor Umo Bassey Eno, has stated that he will withdraw from the 2023 Governorship race and resign his position as a Pastor if the West African Examination Council attests that he forged his certificates.
He made this statement at Citizens Square, an event powered by the Pure Umo Royalty Eno Group (Sad da Initiative).
“Anything you see on social media about my WAEC certificates is a mere distraction. If WAEC says that I, Umo Bassey Eno, have forged my certificate in 1981, or 1983 and it is proven, I will not only quit being a gubernatorial candidate, I’ll quit being a Pastor.
“Let people rant all they want to rant but let them also know that it is emboldening me and empowering me to go on.
“Everything they do is not going to distract me, what they are doing is the fuel needed to move me to the next level. There is no other commitment anyone would give than that which I have said today; my pastoral calling is not less important to me than serving the people of Akwa Ibom state.”
Pastor Umo Eno said that his strict parental upbringing would never have permitted him to forge his certificates.
