Governor Highlights Growing Support for APC
According to Governor Eno, the impressive turnout witnessed during the exercise reflects the increasing support for the APC among residents of Akwa Ibom State. He emphasized that the peaceful atmosphere surrounding the primaries demonstrates public confidence in the party and support for continued development at both state and national levels.
“For my ward, you can see for yourself the mammoth crowd. This is how it will continue to be. The love of Akwa Ibom people for the APC is very strong, and that’s what you are seeing throughout these primaries,” the governor said.
He further added, “Even though some of the candidates are unopposed, this is to test our strength. You can see that all our people have come out and they are firm across the state, and you can see that it has been very peaceful across the state.”
