The Secretary to the Akwa Ibom State Government, Prince Enobong Uwah, has assured that Uyo Local Government Area will deliver more votes for Governor Umo Eno and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 general elections.
Uwah, who also doubles as the Political Leader of Uyo, gave the assurance on Wednesday, August 12, 2026, when he hosted stakeholders and leaders from Uyo at his residence.
He described Uyo as the core of the state government and said the people of the Local Government Area have every reason to support Governor Eno, given the development and opportunities created under his administration.
Uwah also commended the Chairman of Uyo Local Government Area for his performance, saying he had received reports of the projects and initiatives undertaken by the council administration.
He disclosed plans to hold separate meetings with youths and women in Uyo as part of efforts to further engage different segments of the constituency, and assured that more initiatives and opportunities were forthcoming.
On the 2027 elections, the political leader assured that Uyo would vote massively for Governor Eno, President Tinubu, and other candidates of the APC.
He also listed Senator Aniekan Bassey, Hon. Mark Essiet, and Hon. Uwemedimo Asuquo among the candidates he expressed confidence would emerge victorious.
Uwah urged party faithful and stakeholders to remain focused and avoid being distracted by premature political activities.
He particularly cautioned against meetings and campaigns for the chairmanship of Uyo Local Government Area, saying it was too early and could distract the incumbent chairman from delivering on his mandate.
Earlier, the Chairman of Uyo Local Government Area, Dr. Uwemedimo Udo, who also doubles as the State Chairman of ALGON, commended Prince Enobong Uwah for the initiative of bringing stakeholders together.
Udo appreciated political leaders who had supported the Uyo political structure, noting that sustained collaboration among stakeholders remained essential to the growth and stability of the party.
He commended residents of Uyo who participated in the recent voter registration exercise, disclosing that more than 20,000 new voters had been added to the register.
Also speaking, the former Chairman of the Local Government and Civil Service Commission, Hon. Monday Eyo, thanked the SSG for convening the meeting. He said the Governor had done a lot in terms of infrastructure and appointments, citing the Uyo Village Road in his community as one of the projects delivered by the administration.
