Akwa Ibom State Governor Umo Eno says his earlier akara and bread business earned him about ₦10 million every month before he entered politics, describing it as a street-food venture that scaled up. He frames his comments as part of his personal journey from selling food to holding public office.
The claim draws reactions online, with some Nigerians expressing scepticism about the figure and asking for clarification. The outlets describing the story focus on the same core assertion—that the governor’s food-selling business generated millions monthly—while differing mainly in how they present the details of the business background. One outlet emphasizes the “akara, bread” framing, while the other provides additional context about how he says the business operated.
Overall, the reporting centers on Umo Eno’s statement and the public response, without presenting independent verification of the earnings.
