Governor Umo Eno returned to a rousing welcome at the Victor Attah International Airport, where a mammoth crowd gathered to receive him. His Excellency had been in Nice, France, as part of the delegation to the United Nations Ocean Conference (UNOC) 2025 Special Event on Ocean Rise and Coastal Resilience.

 

Akwa Ibom State Governor, Pastor Umo Eno, has called on the people of the State to ignore detractors and destructive critics who are hell bent on disrupting the inherent peace in the State, but to remain focused on the realization of the ARISE Agenda .

Governor Eno was addressing a mammoth crowd of supporters at the Victor Attah International Airport on his arrival from the United Nations Ocean Conference (UNOC); 2025 Special Event on Ocean Rise and Coastal Resilience held in Nice, France. 

He stressed that Akwa Ibom State will remain focused, peaceful and united in support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to continue and complete the life-touching projects initiated by the Federal Government for the people as well as Senate President Godswill Akpabio.

He said his 'progressive' movement to the All Progressive Congress, APC, was never meant to bring disunity to the State, but to strategically position the State for progress and greatness. 

He vowed to remain committed to leading Akwa Ibom on the path of unity, peace and progress, under the directive and influence of the Holy Spirit which found him worthy to lead the State at this critical period. 

The State Chairman of the APC, Obong Stephen Ntukekpo, described the political criticism against the Governor's movement as unreasonable, adding that Governor Eno is the right leader at the moment who will continue to pilot the affairs of the State with passion irrespective of the criticisms. 

He called on the people to desist from listening to vain criticisms, and join hands to support the Governor to bring more dividends of democracy from the federal to the State.

Welcoming the Governor back to the State, Secretary to the State Government, Prince Enobong Uwah, said the warm and colourful reception was a demonstration of solidarity and love for a father and Governor who has performed creditably well.

Expressing the sentiments of the people of the State, he pledged the continued support of Akwa Ibom people who, he said, have promised to follow and stand by the Governor wherever he goes.
