President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, has declared that Akwa Ibom State will deliver the highest number of votes for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the South South geopolitical zone during the 2027 presidential election.
Akpabio made the statement during a consultation meeting with key stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress, APC, at the Government House in Uyo, where Governor Umo Eno formally consulted party members regarding his second term ambition ahead of the 2027 governorship election.
In a statement issued by his Special Assistant on Media, Jackson Udom, the Senate President praised Governor Eno for his leadership style and inclusive approach to governance.
“The event of today shows that Governor Eno is a peaceful governor, a man of God in words and in deeds.
“His peaceful disposition and ability to carry everybody along have given us the assurance that, in the South South geo political zone, Akwa Ibom will deliver the highest number of votes.
“Despite the fact that he has no one challenging him for the sole ticket of the party, he is humble enough to still consult party members and critical stakeholders in the state. That is very instructive of the kind of person he is.
“If you also go around the state, you will know that there is a government in place. Projects are being initiated, completed and commissioned for the use of the people. Even abandoned projects are being completed and commissioned.
“That is a governor who has the progress of his people at heart. I congratulate him on the recent commencement of international flights to and from the Victor Attah International Airport.”
Akpabio further stated that the people and government of Akwa Ibom State remain appreciative of President Tinubu for supporting the emergence of an indigene of the state as President of the Senate.
He added that the state would demonstrate its gratitude through strong electoral support for the president during the next general election.
