Akwa Ibom State Governor, Umo Eno has expressed confidence that Nigerians would re-elect President Bola Tinubu for a second term in 2027.
Eno said Tinubu has made funds available to state governors to undertake projects.
Speaking in an interview on Arise Television, the governor said Tinubu has stabilized the naira against the dollar.
He said: “First of all, Tinubu has made funding available for us to be able to do all of the projects we have done, 1,300 kilometers of roads and to be 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.”
Eno, when asked if he would work for Tinubu’s re-election in 2027, said, “We trust God and with God on our side, I’m an adventure 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 close to 400,000.
“All the senators are APC except the governor, 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 think that people are going to sit down and allow one party to overrun us?
I respect all the people but the more the merrier so people can have the choice. I am on the ground, I am not afraid of anything.
