Akwa Ibom State Governor, Umo Eno, has submitted his nomination form for the primaries of the All Progressives Congress, with a call on party faithful to support his second-term aspiration.
Speaking with Government House correspondents at the Victor Attah International Airport on Wednesday upon his return from Abuja, where he submitted the form, Eno said his aspiration was premised on the need to consolidate ongoing projects in the state.
“I have just submitted the nomination form. We call on members of the party to support our nomination during the primaries, as we will continue to pray and trust God for more development to thrive in the state,” Eno said.
He reaffirmed his administration’s resolve to build on existing achievements and ensure that more benefits of governance reach the people if given another mandate.
He noted that although his administration has made significant progress, not all set goals can be fully achieved within one tenure, disclosing that over 82 projects are still ongoing and at various stages of completion.
“We will continue to pray, trust in God, and remain committed to serving our people. But you can see clearly that there is still so much work on the ground. Many of the projects we have started, about 82 projects, will not be fully completed within this term.
“That is why we are asking for another mandate to drive home these initiatives and consolidate on the progress already made for the benefit of our people,” he added.
The governor appreciated residents of the state for their unwavering support over the last three years and expressed hope that such support would be sustained during the remaining one year of his first term and into a second term.
