Governor Umo Eno Reflects on Past Business Success

Governor Umo Eno, a pastor and the current governor of Akwa Ibom, recounted his past entrepreneurial success during a speech, where he claimed to have made N10 million monthly selling bread and akara near Mobil in Eket. He creatively linked this experience to biblical stories, suggesting a "remix" of the tale of Jesus feeding the multitude.

Eno highlighted that he also sold coffee during this time, indicating a thriving business before his political career. He expressed a mix of regret and pride while discussing his past, noting that he left a lucrative business to take on the challenges of governance.

Eno referenced advice from Remi Tinubu regarding the economic potential of akara, suggesting that embracing such local foods could help alleviate suffering in the community. He humorously suggested that if he were to visit Shomolu, he would be honored with a chieftaincy title as "Fabu Master.".
