Akwa Ibom women on Saturday endorsed President Bola Tinubu, Senate President, Godswill Akpabio and the Akwa Ibom State Governor, Umo Eno, for re-election at the grand rally to celebrate International Women’s Day.
The event, themed ‘Rights, Justice, Action’, was held at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo, according to a statement issued by the Special Assistant to the Senate President on Media/Communication, Anietie Ekong, on Sunday.
The wife of the President and First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, was in attendance as a special guest.
In a proclamation read by the Deputy Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Senator Akon Eyakenyi, on behalf of the women, they said the IWD was most appropriate for the voice of Akwa Ibom women to be heard.
Endorsing the president, the women said Tinubu has ”demonstrated bold, reform-driven and visionary leadership through the Renewed Hope Agenda by implementing decisive economic and structural reforms to stabilise the nation, strengthen public finances and lay a sustainable foundation for inclusive national growth.”
According to the women, Akpabio was endorsed for re-election for providing purposeful leadership in the National Assembly by ensuring legislative stability and high-quality representation.
“Whereas under his leadership, the Senate has fostered a constructive and fruitful relationship between the executive and the legislature, enabling the advancement of key national reforms and policies aimed at strengthening governance, economic recovery and national development.
