....THIS IS OUR NUMBER ONE POLITICAL STRUCTURE- GOV ENO




The President of the Nigerian Senate and Chairman of the National Assembly, Senator Godswill Akpabio, has formally endorsed the ARISE With Renewed Hope Initiative, describing it as his political structure and machinery for the 2027 general elections in Akwa Ibom State.


Speaking in Abuja on Saturday during a visit by the leadership of the Initiative, Senator Akpabio described the engagement as historic, noting that it was the first of its kind and a defining moment for political unity in Akwa Ibom State.


According to him, the emergence of the ARISE With Renewed Hope Initiative signals stability, readiness, and victory for the All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the 2027 polls.


“With this Group, Akwa Ibom State is safe and ready for the elections. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Governor Umo Eno and I will work with this Group to achieve its set targets,” Akpabio said.


He expressed confidence that Akwa Ibom State would record unprecedented electoral outcomes for the APC.


“With this Group, Akwa Ibom State will be the first State in Nigeria to return President Bola Tinubu with massive votes. Akwa Ibom State will re-elect Governor Umo Eno, and Akwa Ibom State will overwhelmingly re-elect me. What Governor Umo Eno has done in bringing us together is divine, ordained, and guarantees a bright future for Akwa Ibom State and Nigeria,” the Senate President added.


In his remarks, Governor of Akwa Ibom State, His Excellency Pastor Umo Eno, described the ARISE With Renewed Hope Initiative as the number one political structure in the State, reflecting the unity and collective strength of the Akwa Ibom people under the APC.


Governor Eno noted that the Group represents the consolidation of political forces in the State, adding that the foundation of the Initiative was laid by Senator Godswill Akpabio, whom he reaffirmed as the leader with a strong and enduring home base.


He further stated that the Group is composed of every major political titan in Akwa Ibom State, united by a common purpose.


Earlier, the President General of the ARISE With Renewed Hope Initiative, Engr. Uwem Okoko, said the visit was to formally present the Initiative to the Senate President, following its earlier presentation to Governor Umo Eno.


He declared that the mission of the Group is clear and unwavering.


“Our mission is victory for the APC in 2027,” Okoko said.


Engr. Okoko assured that Akwa Ibom State is firmly and overwhelmingly APC, marching towards successful re-election victories for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Senator Godswill Akpabio, and Governor Umo Eno.


He praised President Tinubu for the ongoing reforms across the country and pledged that Akwa Ibom State would deliver bloc votes—the highest in Nigeria—during the elections. He also reaffirmed total support for Governor Umo Eno’s ARISE Agenda and his second-term aspiration.


Describing Governor Umo Eno as a Champion Unifier, Engr. Okoko said his leadership style has become a national reference point for peace, cohesion, and institutional excellence.


In his remarks, the Chairman, Board of Trustees of the Initiative, Sir Victor Antai, said history was being made with the gathering of political leaders to chart a united course for the re-election of President Tinubu, Senator Akpabio, and Governor Umo Eno.


He described the ARISE With Renewed Hope Initiative as a coalition of leaders with deep grassroots capacity, positioned to drive massive mobilisation for the APC across all levels.


Sir Antai commended Governor Umo Eno for sustaining peace and development in Akwa Ibom State, applauded the legislative strides of the 10th National Assembly under Senator Akpabio, and praised President Tinubu for steering Nigeria through bold reforms.


At the climax of the visit, the President General, Engr. Uwem Okoko, and the Chairman, Board of Trustees, Sir Victor Antai, presented the official regalia of the ARISE With Renewed Hope Initiative to Senator Godswill Akpabio, who formally accepted his role as Grand Patron of the Group.


Members of the International Executive Committee present at the event included the International Coordinator, Sir Udo Kierian; Deputy President; Senatorial Coordinators; Heads of Directorates and their Deputies; members of the National and State Assemblies; Minister of State (Gas), Hon. Ekperikpe Ekpo; Director-General of Campaigns, Chief Assam Assam, SAN, among others.
