Akwa Ibom State Governor, Umo Eno, has expressed appreciation to members and supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) following his emergence as the party’s governorship candidate for the 2027 general elections.
Governor Eno spoke shortly after participating in the APC governorship primary election at Mbiakpan Obot Ward Two in Nsit Ubium Local Government Area.
He described his nomination as a renewed mandate to continue serving the people of Akwa Ibom State with greater commitment and dedication.
The governor disclosed that his administration would soon set up a committee to assess the performance of his first term and develop a second-term blueprint tagged ARISE 2.0 ahead of the 2027 elections.
According to him, the proposed framework would build on the achievements of the ARISE Agenda while outlining strategic priorities for the next phase of governance if re-elected.
Eno also renewed his call for peaceful political campaigns in the state, urging political parties and candidates to focus on issues, policies, and development programmes rather than personal attacks or divisive rhetoric.
He stressed that the electoral process should be conducted in an atmosphere of peace, tolerance, and mutual respect, adding that the collective interest of Akwa Ibom State must remain paramount over political differences.
The governor further expressed readiness to participate in political debates ahead of the 2027 elections, saying such platforms would allow candidates to present their visions and policy plans to the electorate.
