Obasanjo, Attah Disagree on Party Discipline From Efem Nkanga in Uyo President Olusegun Obasanjo has declared that his disagreement with Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Obong Victor Attah was in the area of party discipline. President Obasanjo made this declaration yesterday at the gala night organised in his honor at the end of his three-day official visit to the state. The President disclosed that his area of disagreement with the governor was in the area of party discipline, stressing that Attah has no right criticising him as the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces. He stated that "we disagree on principles and not triviality. If we agree on principles, let's know which principles to agree on," adding that ''I disagree on principles of party discipline. He has no right to disagree with me publicly, I have no right to do so either. If he disagrees with me publicly it's a political issue." The President further took Akwa Ibomites by surprise and put paid to speculations that there was a rift in the relationship between him and the governor, saying he loved Attah, explaining that "infact I have said this, if I had been a woman, I would have competed for his hand because he has some attributes that I like and the ones I dont like, I have told him." Obasanjo also disclosed that the late Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Chairman, Dr. Clement Isong, would be honoured as requested by the state, promising that his administration would start the reconstruction of the killer Ibagwa bridge in Abak, which he described as "frightening" before the end of the year. Besides, he said his government would fix the Edemaya bridge in Ikot Abasi and tackle the erosion site at Ikon which he described as "very frightening." He called on Attah to redouble his efforts on the development of the state and commended the state for the science centre at Eket and the General Hospital in Okobo which he inspected earlier on. He however urged Attah to see to it that about 50 per cent of the 246 schools in the state are equipped with science centres as opposed to the 9 schools planned by the Attah regime.
