Tinubu in Akwa Ibom: Lessons from History

As President Bola Tinubu visits Akwa Ibom State on Friday, November 6, Etim Etim takes a look at the lessons learnt since Tinubu first visited the State 12 years ago.

President Bola Tinubu is set to visit Akwa Ibom State on Friday, November 6, 2026, marking a significant moment for Governor Umo Eno. Akwa Ibom State looks forward to inaugurating major projects, including a world-class airport terminal and the Arise Palm Resort. This is the third time Tinubu has visited the state, previously in 2014 when he welcomed 10,000 PDP members into his party.

These defectors included notable figures like former minister of Petroleum, Chief Don Etiebet, and late Ime Umana. In 2014, Tinubu's arrival was met with excitement, drawing a large crowd and highlighting the political significance of the event.
