According to him, Buhari’s administration’s intention to address the issues of corruption, insecurity, unemployment is a welcome development.
Essien advised the present administration not to be vindictive or selective in his governance but should treat all sectors of the economy and people in the country as the same people
“It is a good experience for Nigeria to move from one elected government to another, particularly one political party is handing over to another party, this we haven’t experienced before.
“We are looking forward to a smooth transition and a smooth administration that would not cause unnecessary disorder to the system,’’ he said.
The Vice Chairman of Eket Local Government, Mr Victor Henry, expressed optimism that the present administration would reduce corruption to its barest minimum.
