Eno said this in an interaction with journalists in Uyo, the state capital, on Saturday.
The governor said that he vied for office to better the lives of the good people of Akwa Ibom State and not to grease the palms of a few people.
He said that his government is putting money into rural development as a way of bringing development to the populace.
“I have received a lot of threats from the political class that I won’t do a second term.
“I am putting money in rural development because a good first term is better than a useless second term.
“I don’t want to put more money in one person’s hands to the detriment of the 7.9 million population,” the governor said.
