November 12, () – Over 5,000 former executives of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Akwa Ibom State have endorsed Governor Umo Eno for re-election in 2027, pledging to deploy their grassroots political structures to secure victory for the ruling party.
The former ward, chapter and state executives, under the Forum of Immediate Past Ward, Chapter and State APC Executives, made the declaration on Monday during a solidarity march through major streets in Uyo.
The march, which commenced at about 9am from the Itam Flyover, attracted participants from the 31 local government areas of the state, who carried banners and placards expressing support for Eno’s administration and his ARISE Agenda.
Speaking during the rally, the Forum’s leader, Aniekan Uwah, said the endorsement reflected a renewed commitment to party unity and a decision by members to put their differences over the last APC congresses behind them.
Every second brings Nigerians closer to exercising their democratic right and shaping the future of our nation.
Exercise your democratic right responsibly, peacefully and lawfully.
Uwah said the governor’s inclusive leadership, peace-building efforts and empowerment programmes had convinced the former executives to close ranks and support his administration.
“Despite our grievances over the congress, the Governor has not abandoned us. He has carried us along and shown us love. For this reason, we have forgiven all grievances and decided to work together for the progress of Akwa Ibom State and the success of the APC”, he said.

He declared the Forum’s total support for Eno’s administration and his 2027 re-election ambition.
Also speaking, Emmanuel Moses, a prominent supporter of the movement, said the group would leverage its extensive grassroots network to mobilise voters for Eno and other APC candidates.
He disclosed that the Forum had structures across the state’s 31 local government areas, 329 wards and more than 4,000 polling units, which would be activated for ward-to-ward sensitisation and house-to-house campaigns.
Moses said the mobilisation drive would also focus on encouraging eligible voters to register, collect their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) and participate in the 2027 general elections.
He added that the Forum would embark on a reconciliation campaign to bring back party members who became disenchanted and withdrew from political activities following the last congresses.
The group pledged to mobilise hundreds of thousands of votes for the governor and other APC candidates, while urging aggrieved members to return to the party.
Other Forum leaders at the rally included Simon Michael, Aniedi Usoro and Bassey Effiong.
The march was conducted peacefully, with the police providing security and Federal Road Safety Corps personnel managing traffic along the route.
