Akwa Ibom State Governor, Pastor Umo Eno, has publicly endorsed President Bola Tinubu’s bid for a second term, highlighting Tinubu’s dedication to national development through key infrastructure projects such as the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway.
Eno, a member of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), made this declaration on Tuesday while representing President Tinubu at the official flag-off ceremony for the 65-kilometer, three-lane dual carriageway section of the highway project in Nsit-Antai Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State.
His endorsement coincides with the PDP Governors’ Forum’s announcement that the party will not join any coalition aimed at removing Tinubu from office in 2027.

In a statement released shortly after the event, Eno described Tinubu as a visionary and non-partisan leader whose agenda is to bring visible development to all regions of Nigeria, regardless of party affiliation or political alliances.
“I want to express the sentiments of the people of Akwa Ibom State for allowing the project to pass through our state. It could have gone elsewhere, so we do not take this for granted,” Eno said.
He stated that the inclusion of Akwa Ibom in the multi-billion naira highway project demonstrated the President’s commitment to balanced development across the nation.
“Mr. President has approved and embarked on this audacious project that is set to unlock our economic potential, especially for coastal communities. This initiative aligns with his Renewed Hope Agenda and deserves to be completed under his leadership,” the governor added.
Declaring his full support for President Tinubu’s re-election, Eno said, “Let me end by assuring our people-loving President that we will stand by him. He deserves to complete his eight years in office. He cannot start this work and abandon it. Someone else may not finish it with the same passion.”
Quoting the Bible, he continued, “The hand that has started this work will complete it. Our prayer is for God to grant Mr. President good health and strength to finish what he has begun so it doesn’t become another abandoned project like the East-West Road.”
