Speaking on Tuesday at a strategic All Progressives Congress (APC) stakeholders’ meeting in Uyo, Akpabio highlighted the evolving political climate in the state.

“The event today reflects the character of Governor Umo Eno as a peaceful leader, a man of God in words and deeds. His ability to carry everyone along gives us confidence that Akwa Ibom will deliver the highest number of votes in the South-South for President Tinubu,” Akpabio declared.
The Senate President also pointed to tangible governance successes, including the completion of infrastructure projects and the start of international flights at the Victor Attah International Airport, which he described as a vital economic milestone.
“If you move around the state, you will see clear evidence of governance. Projects are being executed, completed, and delivered for the benefit of the people,” he added.
Akpabio emphasized that the state owes a debt of gratitude to President Tinubu for supporting an Akwa Ibom son for the Senate Presidency. He assured that this appreciation would be reflected at the polls.
“Akwa Ibom remains grateful to President Tinubu for supporting one of its sons to occupy the office of Senate President,” he stated, adding that the state is prepared to show its support through a massive electoral turnout in 2027.
