President Bola Tinubu marked his return to Akwa Ibom State, recalling his previous tenure as an auditor for Mobil in the region. Speaking during his visit to Uyo, Tinubu emphasized the state's significance to him, stating, "This is a homecoming for me. I was here in Akwa Ibom as a Mobil auditor. We built Ibeno, developed Eket, and did what we had to do."
The President highlighted the inauguration of several projects under the current administration, including the international terminal building at the Victor Attah International Airport, an airport hospital, and the Ibom Aviation Village. Tinubu also unveiled plans for additional projects, such as the Airport-Okopedi Road and Ring Road 3, which will connect communities across the state.
The visit follows Eno's defection from the Peoples Democratic Party to the All Progressives Congress, with Tinubu expressing his support for Tinubu's re-election bid. The President is scheduled to attend an APC rally in Uyo. Tinubu's ties to Akwa Ibom extend to his career in the oil industry, having joined Mobil Oil Nigeria after working with accounting firms.
He progressed from the audit department to become the treasurer of the company, eventually relocating to Nigeria to manage its operations.
