To the Good People of Akwa Ibom State
My people of Akwa Ibom state,
I write to you today with a heart full of gratitude and hope for our state.
What happened today within our party, the APC, is worth acknowledging. Several leaders chose to step down in support of Pastor Umo Eno’s decision to continue leading Akwa Ibom. That decision was not a sign of weakness, but a sign of maturity, gratitude, and love for our state.
By stepping aside, they chose unity over division. They chose peace over conflict. They chose to protect our party from a public fight that our opponents were waiting to use against us. In doing so, they have placed the interest of Akwa Ibom above personal ambition.
To every leader who made that sacrifice, I say thank you. You have shown what true leadership looks like — putting the people first, and ensuring that our state continues on the path of stability and progress. You may not have gone into the primary, but you have won the respect and admiration of the people.
This is how we move Akwa Ibom forward: when leaders stand together, when we avoid unnecessary battles, and when we focus on the development of our communities.
Let us all support this spirit of unity. Let us keep working together so that Akwa Ibom remains peaceful, strong, and united.
Thank you, and God bless Akwa Ibom State.
Signed,
Otoplanet
Uyo, Offot Ward 6
