Akwa Ibom Governor Udom Emmanuel to Run for Second Term

By Farouk Mohammed

Akwa Ibom state governor Udom Emmanuel has said he will announce his intention to run for governor for a second term on Friday.

The governor in a post on his verified Twitter handle said he will ‘submit’ himself as the state’s ‘Servant-Leader’ just like he did in 2014.

“Tomorrow, just as I did in 2014, I will submit myself again as your Servant-Leader and ask for your support for a second term. I know I can always count on your support, so the Akwa Ibom story will continue to be told in poetry and in prose. God bless you!,” Udom tweeted.

Prior to this, Udom held a mega rally at the Eket senatorial district, where he was endorsed for the governorship election.
