Umo Eno Launches ARISE 2.0, Aims for Two Million Votes

Akwa Ibom State Governor Pastor Umo Eno unveiled his manifesto and development blueprint, ARISE 2.0, at the inauguration of the All Progressives Congress State Campaign Council in Uyo. Eno pledged to deliver at least two million votes for President Bola Tinubu in the upcoming 2027 general elections.

He described the event as a pivotal moment for the state's development, emphasizing a campaign theme of "We Are Well Able," inspired by Numbers 13:30. The ARISE 2.0 initiative aims to transition the state from an infrastructure-driven economy to a productive hub focused on investment, tourism, agriculture, youth empowerment, and job creation.

Eno highlighted the achievements of ARISE 1.0 and outlined plans for tourism development, agricultural modernization, and infrastructure improvements in Uyo. He also emphasized the importance of the Ibom Deep Seaport in the state's economic strategy and urged campaign council members to prioritize service and issue-based campaigns.
