Akpabio, APC Leaders Rally Pastor Eno As Gov Unveils ARISE 2.0, Inaugurates Campaign Council

Akwa Ibom State Governor, Pastor Umo Eno, is set to unveil his ARISE 2.0 manifesto for the 2027–2031 period as the All Progressives Congress, APC, prepares to inaugurate its state campaign council ahead of the 2027 governorship election.

The event, scheduled for Friday, November 13, at the Banquet Hall of ARISE Palm Resort, Uyo, is expected to bring together the President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, and other APC leaders to rally support for Eno’s political ambition.

Akpabio, who is the Grand Patron of the APC State Campaign Council, is expected to grace the occasion, which will combine the unveiling of the governor’s second-term development blueprint with the formal inauguration of the party’s campaign structure.

The ARISE 2.0 manifesto is expected to outline Eno’s development vision and priorities for Akwa Ibom State between 2027 and 2031, providing the policy direction for his proposed next dispensation.

The inauguration of the campaign council, under the Director-Generalship of Chief Assam Assam, SAN, will also mark a significant step in the APC’s preparations for the governorship election.

According to the Director of Media and Strategic Communications of the APC Akwa Ibom State Campaign Council, Aniekan Umanah, the gathering will bring together party leaders, political stakeholders and supporters.

Umanah said the occasion would highlight the party’s guiding values of “Performance, Character, Consolidation and Continuity.”

Expected at the event are APC leaders at the national and state levels, religious leaders, traditional rulers, professional bodies, youth and women representatives, as well as members of the campaign council.

The joint event is expected to provide a platform for the APC to present Eno’s proposed development agenda alongside the political structures being mobilised for the 2027 governorship contest.

Party faithful, supporters and members of the public have been invited to attend.
