Akpabio Commends Governor Eno for Peaceful Akwa Ibom APC Congress

Senate President Godswill Akpabio has praised Governor Umo Eno for ensuring a peaceful and orderly conduct of the All Progressives Congress (APC) state congress in Akwa Ibom.

In a statement issued by his Special Assistant on Media and Communication, Anietie Ekong, on Wednesday in Uyo, Akpabio highlighted that previous congresses in other states had been marred by factions, violence, and even loss of lives. He lauded the smooth process in Akwa Ibom, likening the event to a church service in its calm and orderly manner.

“The peace witnessed here is due to leadership guided by godliness and a commitment to inclusive governance,” Akpabio said. He further noted that the congress achieved broad consultation, leading to the formation of a new executive committee through consensus, a move he described as unprecedented in the country’s political history.

The congress saw the re-election of Obong Stephen Ntukekpo as State Chairman to lead the APC State Executive Committee, with a renewed focus on unity and grassroots mobilisation. Party faithful also pledged support for the re-election of President Bola Tinubu, Senator Akpabio, and Governor Eno.

Governor Eno expressed gratitude to the Senate President for his presence, which he said dignified the congress, and reaffirmed Akwa Ibom State’s support for the Tinubu administration.
