Governor Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom State has made headlines by announcing his running mate for the upcoming 2027 election, a move that has sparked both curiosity and discussions among the state’s political circles. What makes this announcement so unique is the timing – being made before Governor Eno even completes half of his first term in office.
The exciting revelation took place during a Town Hall meeting held in Oron Federal Constituency over the weekend, where Governor Eno shared with the attendees that if reelected for a second term, his current deputy, Akon Eyakenyi, would continue to serve as his deputy governor. The choice of Mrs. Eyakenyi, a former senator from Akwa Ibom South District, not only reflects strategic decision-making but also underscores a sense of continuity and experience within the gubernatorial team.
“A Very Good Deputy”: Governor Umo Eno Praises Akon Eyakenyi
During the gathering in Oron Federal Constituency, Governor Eno publicly commended Mrs. Eyakenyi as “a very good deputy,” emphasizing her qualities as supportive and cooperative. His endorsement of her as his running mate for the 2027 election was met with applause from the enthusiastic crowd. Describing Mrs. Eyakenyi further, he added, “A mother, (and) a sister. We thank you so much, Ma.”
The early declaration of running mates is not uncommon in politics; it often serves to solidify support from key stakeholders and demonstrate commitment to certain agendas well ahead of formal campaign periods.
As an expert analyst on Nigerian politics notes, “Governor Eno’s proactive approach in selecting his running mate early on showcases a sense of stability and unity within his administration.” This move could potentially set him apart from other candidates vying for leadership positions in future elections.
While some may view such announcements as premature or ambitious given that Governor Eno has yet to complete even half of his initial four-year term, others see it as a strategic maneuver aimed at building momentum and securing loyalty within political structures well before electoral campaigns kick off.
