President Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) will serve two full terms of eight years in office. This statement comes from a governor elected on the platform of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), raising eyebrows and sparking political discussions.
Eno made this declaration on Tuesday afternoon during the flag-off ceremony for the Akwa Ibom section of the Lagos-Calabar coastal highway project. His comments suggest a lack of interest in his own party, the PDP, regaining power at the national level in the 2027 elections.
The governor’s unexpected endorsement of President Tinubu’s extended tenure has created a stir, particularly given the partisan divide in Nigerian politics. The Lagos-Calabar coastal highway project, a significant infrastructure development, served as the backdrop for this political prediction.
The governor’s comments have generated significant discussion and speculation about the political implications of his statement, especially regarding the relationship between the PDP and the APC in Akwa Ibom State.
The remarks from the PDP governor have been received with varied reactions, some expressing surprise and others seeking clarification regarding the context and motivation behind the prediction.
The flag-off of the coastal highway project, a major development for the region, has been overshadowed by the governor’s political pronouncement, leading to heightened interest in the state’s political landscape.
