As the 2027 general elections approach, a wave of strategic political moves is taking shape in Akwa Ibom State. Governor Pastor Umo Eno has openly assured both President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Senate President Godswill Akpabio of his administration’s full backing for their second-term ambitions.
In a bold and telling move, the governor has indicated that not only his government, but the entire grassroots political structure of the state, from polling units to ward leaders, and even the PDP executive ranks, may shift allegiance to the All Progressives Congress (APC) come May 29, 2029.
This declaration marks a potential turning point in the state’s political history, suggesting a realignment of loyalties that could reshape the 2027 and post-2027 political landscape in Nigeria’s South-South region.
