Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Gov. Umo Eno who recently announced his support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election in 2027 has shared reasons why he did so, and openly.
Speaking at a rally in Ikot Ekpene Local Government Area of the state, Eno said his choice is rooted in sincerity and will be explained in due time.
“Me, I don’t know how to speak from two sides of the mouth,” he said. “The other day, I said I was going to support Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, people said ‘why do I say so?’
“In the night, they go there and go and tell the Baba ‘we will support you’, in the afternoon, they do another thing.
“Me I’m supporting baba Bola Ahmed Tinubu for second term. When the time comes, I will tell you the reason, the time has not come yet. But let me keep it first. There’s no point lying to yourself.
“I will tell you the reason when the time comes, and you will see with me why we should support him so that he can complete what he has started.
“You will see what he is doing for our state, and you will know why we should not go elsewhere.
“So, if you want another support, wait — when he finishes, we will now support another person,” Eno said.
