2027 Race: Eno Slams Aspirants Living in Rented Apartments

Governor Umo Eno has challenged the credentials of some political rivals ahead of the 2027 governorship election. He criticised unnamed aspirants who still live in rented apartments yet seek to govern Akwa Ibom. Speaking in Uyo during his third-anniversary media chat, Eno said critics often underestimate the demands of public office. He dismissed “recycled politicians” and invited them to debate their past records if they want the state treasury handed over to them. Eno’s remarks come amid rising political activity ahead of 2027. He has defended his administration’s achievements in infrastructure, education, health and rural development since defecting to the APC in 2025. With formal campaigns still months away, the governor’s attack signals that the battle for Akwa Ibom’s next leadership is already heating up.
