2027: Eno unveils campaign council, seeks stakeholder collaboration

Gov. Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom has urged the All Progressives Congress (APC) and stakeholders to ensure full collaboration in order to elect candidates for the party in the 2027 elections.

Eno made the call at the inauguration of the APC campaign council in Uyo on Friday.

Speaking at the inauguration with the theme: “We are Well Able”, the governor said that his administration had vigorously pursued peace and political reconciliation with all stakeholders.

He also urged Akwa Ibom people to support the re-election of President Bola Tinubu, Sen. Godswill Akpabio and other APC candidates contesting in the general elections.

Eno said that his administration’s ARISE Agenda had been expanded to a-17 point development blueprint titled, christened, ARISE 2.0.

He said that the blueprint spanned agriculture, rural development, infrastructure, education, healthcare, tourism, maritime, among others.

“We have pursued peace and political reconciliation with stakeholders; this has helped us to achieve more and consolidate for a second term.

“ARISE 2.0 is the continuation of what we have done so far. Next is to build a productive economy, strengthen the business environment, encourage entrepreneurs, and attract investors,” he said.

Eno charged members of the campaign council to approach their responsibilities with humility, diligence and integrity, saying: “Let our campaign be issue-based and anchored on human dignity”

In his remarks, Akpabio said that he was impressed by the development plan presented to Akwa Ibom people by Eno.

Akpabio assured Akwa Ibom residents that Eno would win his second term considering his development plan for the state.

“If the governor can embark on these projects in the first term, you can be sure that he will do more if given a second term,” he said.

The Senate president said that Eno’s education and human capital development policies were “well-thought-out and people-oriented”
