Senate President Godswill Akpabio calls for support for President Bola Tinubu and Akwa Ibom Governor Umo Eno ahead of the 2027 general elections. He makes the appeal during activities marking the 39th anniversary of Akwa Ibom State’s creation in Uyo, where he also praises Eno’s performance.
Both outlets describe Akpabio’s message as urging Akwa Ibom residents to move beyond partisan considerations and rally behind the state’s current leadership while showing support for Tinubu at the national level. Nigerian Eye adds that Akpabio frames Eno’s work around peace, rural development, economic growth, and citizen welfare linked to the ARISE Agenda, and says Tinubu is a “friend of the zone” who will gain strong South-South support. Vanguard similarly reports Akpabio’s backing of Tinubu and Eno and his commendation of Eno, but provides fewer detailed elements of the policy claims and speeches.
