••• Assures Landslide Victories for Tinubu, Gov Eno, Akpabio, APC candidates
By our Correspondent
The International Coordinator of the ARISE With Renewed Hope Initiative, Rt. Hon. (Sir) Udo Kierian Akpan, has projected that the 2027 general elections in Akwa Ibom State will be the most peaceful in the state’s political history, while also producing the highest number of votes ever recorded.
Kierian, a former Deputy Speaker of the Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly, expressed strong confidence that the All Progressives Congress (APC) would secure overwhelming victories for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Governor Umo Eno, Senate President Godswill Akpabio, and all candidates the party would field in the state.
Speaking during a radio engagement on Comfort 95.1fm, Uyo, the former labour leader said the current political climate in Akwa Ibom has been fundamentally altered by Governor Umo Eno’s leadership style, which he described as inclusive, calm, and deliberately unifying.
According to him, the peace and political stability currently enjoyed across the state have dismantled long-standing divisions and created an atmosphere where development thrives and political participation can flourish without tension.
The Oruk Anam born heavyweight politician noted that the emergence of the ARISE With Renewed Hope Initiative was driven by the need to consolidate unity, deepen reconciliation, and shield governance from avoidable political distractions as the state moves toward 2027.
He said the task of political mobilisation had been eased by what he described as Governor Eno’s visible performance across key sectors, stressing that governance outcomes, rather than rhetoric, now define political conversations in Akwa Ibom.
The former Deputy Speaker highlighted the governor’s grassroots-driven approach, pointing out that the administration has institutionalised direct engagement through ward-level political structures and constituency-wide consultations that allow citizens to articulate their needs for government action.
Akpan observed that Akwa Ibom has become more attractive to investors, visitors, and stakeholders due to sustained peace, noting that development can only be meaningful where stability exists.
Kierian also reaffirmed that the state’s renewed political relevance at the national level must be protected, describing the presence of the Senate President as a strategic advantage that should not be taken for granted.
He urged Akwa Ibom people to rally behind the APC to strengthen the state’s connection to the centre, arguing that political cohesion remains the surest path to sustained federal presence and economic benefits.
On the national scene, Kierian called for continued support for President Tinubu, stating that ongoing economic reforms are already yielding results, including improved fiscal inflows to states and gradual relief in food prices.
He stressed that the goal of the ARISE With Renewed Hope Initiative is to keep the political space stable, organised, and supportive, allowing Governor Eno to concentrate fully on governance and service delivery.
The Special Adviser to the Governor on Labour Relations concluded that with the calibre of leaders within the APC in Akwa Ibom, the 2027 elections would not only be peaceful but historic in voter turnout, describing victory for the party as inevitable if unity is sustained.
