Gov Eno Emerges Akwa Ibom APC Candidate, Promises ARISE 2.0 Agenda

According to him, the proposed framework would consolidate on the achievements already recorded under the ARISE Agenda while outlining strategic priorities for the next phase of governance if re-elected.

Eno also renewed his appeal for peaceful political campaigns in the state, urging political parties and candidates to focus on issues, policies, and development programmes rather than personal attacks and divisive rhetoric.

He stressed that the electoral process should be conducted in an atmosphere of peace, tolerance, and mutual respect, noting that the collective interest of Akwa Ibom State must take precedence over political disagreements.

The governor further declared his readiness to participate in political debates ahead of the 2027 elections, saying such engagements would provide candidates with the opportunity to present their programmes and vision to the electorate.
