The President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, has urged the entire structure of the All Progressives Congress in Akwa Ibom State to remain united and support President Bola Tinubu and Governor Umo Eno in building a united and prosperous Nigeria.
Mr Akpabio made the call while addressing a stakeholders’ meeting of the APC in Uyo on Friday.

He hailed the governor’s inclusive leadership style and swift alignment with the APC’s vision.
He stated, “Akwa Ibom is one. This governor is a unifier, and we should shun divisive tendencies and support him to bring development to our dear state. When I moved to the APC in 2018, my intention was to link our state to the national power grid and I’m happy, that the vision has become a reality with the leadership of Mr Eno in the state.’’
According to him, the pervading atmosphere of unity in Akwa Ibom State will make the entire state to massively support Mr Tinubu to continue with his reforms that would guarantee a stable economic prosperity and growth for the nation.
In a voice vote proposed by Mr Akpabio, the stakeholders unanimously adopted Messrs Tinubu and Eno for a second term in their respective offices.

In his remarks, Mr Eno said that his movement into the APC would advance the course of development in the state and enable him to work for the successful re-election of Mr Tinubu.
He expressed satisfaction with the representation of Mr Akpabio, assuring that the state would support his return to the senate in 2027.
