Ahead of the 2027 general elections, Akwa Ibom State Governor, Pastor Umo Eno, has unveiled his manifesto and development blueprint, tagged ARISE 2.0, pledging to deliver at least two million votes for President Bola Tinubu.

Eno unveiled the blueprint at the inauguration of the All Progressives Congress State Campaign Council on Friday in Uyo, the state capital.

He described the event as a defining moment in the state’s development journey, marked by renewed hope and collective determination to advance the fortunes of Akwa Ibom.

He added that the campaign would be anchored on the theme, “We Are Well Able,” drawn from Numbers 13:30.

“We have the capacity to achieve greater development milestones and better the lot of our people. Our campaign will be anchored on the theme, ‘We Are Well Able,’ drawn from Numbers 13:30,” the governor said.

Eno said ARISE 2.0 would move the state from an infrastructure-driven economy to a productive economic hub anchored on investment, tourism, agriculture, youth empowerment and job creation.

He said the achievements recorded under ARISE 1.0 in roads, education, healthcare, agriculture, housing, rural development and tourism would serve as a foundation for a more ambitious programme.

On tourism, he said the state would leverage its natural attractions, cultural heritage, hospitality and culinary traditions to become a major destination for meetings, conferences, entertainment, holidays, sports and cultural festivals.

He disclosed plans to remodel the Uyo city centre, with an iconic tower, flyover and other facilities.
