This is as the Governor doled out N361,450,000 to 844 persons from Etinan Federal Constituency.

The donation comes in the form of farmers’ grants, traders’ grants, equipment support, MSMEs, cars, and mini-bus beneficiaries.

At what was tagged a grand finale in the series of Town Square meetings between the Governor and his people, held at the Nsit Ubium Council Headquarters ground in Ikot Edibon, the people unanimously voted in support of the continuation of the Governor in office.

The Governor had thanked the people for the massive turnout, saying, “it is organic, spontaneous, and electrifying.”

He said having received the needed documents from all the federal constituencies, he was going to select the very critical ones for inclusion in the 2026 budget, noting that some could still be captured in the remaining part of the subsisting budget.

The Governor said the recent Impact Assessment Summit organized by his government afforded everyone the opportunity of seeing that every local government in the State has been positively affected by his administration, but added that where gaps were noticed, corrections would be effected.

On his policy of establishing Youth Friendly Centers in all the local government areas, the Governor urged local council chairmen to each avail him of 1000 sq meters of land for the project, and also harped on the essence of encouraging youths in computer training.

Following the premises laid by speakers at the event, a voice vote was moved by the Nsit Ubium State Constituency lawmaker, Otobong Bob, and seconded by Hon. Eric Akpan of Nsit Ibom State Constituency, with the people affirming their decision to support the All Progressives Congress and its candidates, Governor Eno and President Tinubu.

Speaking, stakeholders of the federal constituency, through their Political Leader, Senator Effiong Bob, held that Governor Eno’s performance had endeared him to the people of the entire State, insisting that, “if you were not a good governor they would not have accepted you.”

“We are not here to speak about what you are doing, or what you have not done, or what you are about to do, because we know that you have done your best within these two years.

Senator Bob who was confirming the position of the earlier speakers at the event, Chief Sunny Jackson Udo, Mr. Umana Umana, and Gen. Paul Isang, Rtd, said, “You have an 8-year mandate, so your mandate will be judged at the end of 8 years, but for the two years, you have done so much for our people as had been said in the programme,” he said, wooing for support for President Tinubu, Senate President Godswill Akpabio, and the Governor.

On his part, the Oku Ibom Ibibio and President-General of the Supreme Council of Traditional Rulers, His Eminence, Ntenyin Solomon Etuk, acknowledged that God has used the Governor to accomplish much for the state.

He said the huge crowd was a true reflection of the love and confidence of his people in him.
