Why Nigerians would reelect Tinubu in 2027 – Akwa Ibom gov, Eno

Governor Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom State, on Tuesday said Nigerians would reelect President Bola Tinubu for a second term in 2027.

Eno explained that Tinubu has made funding available to state governors to embark on projects.

In an interview on Arise Television, the governor stated that Tinubu has stabilized the naira against the dollar.

He said: “First of all, Tinubu has made funding available for us to do all of the projects we have done, 1,300 kilometers of roads and to have been able to put up 458 compassionate homes to be able to support 12, 000 elders to be able to built hospitals in all the 31 local government areas, to be able to modern schools that are solar powered.

“Look at the tax reforms and the benefits to the people, look at the dollars that is now stable from when he took over, look at our foreign reserves; you will know that there is enough reasons for Akwa Ibom and Nigerians to return him to finish the job that he has started.”

On if he would work for Tinubu’s reelection in 2027, Eno said: “We trust God and with God on our side, I’m an advent believer in the God factor, Akwa Ibom is up for Tinubu and the APC.

“We are on the ground and we just finished the primaries, I had 392,000 and the president had closed to 400,000.

“Apart from the governor, all the senators are APC, 24 out of the 26 members of the House of Assembly are APC. 30 out of the 31 Chairmen of the local governments are APC, local government councillors and maybe very few in one local government are APC.

“So these are the people in the field and on the ground working, so you believe that people will just sit down and allow one party to overrun us?

“I respect all the people but the more the merrier so that people can have a choice. I don’t have any fear, we are on the ground.”
