Nigerian President Bola Tinubu promises improved living conditions and calls on voters in Akwa Ibom to support continuity in his government. During his visit to Uyo, he also announced approval of the Ibom Deep Sea Port, according to Vanguard.

Nigerian President Bola Tinubu urged young people to obtain their permanent voter cards (PVCs), which he described as their main means of influencing Nigeria’s political future. He also called on voters to support his administration and Akwa Ibom State Governor Umo Eno during his visit to the state, according to Vanguard.

The visit was marked by an accident involving a bus belonging to the Akwa Ibom State Transport Corporation carrying women who had come to welcome the president. The vehicle collided with a security pick-up on Oron Road, Uyo, raising fears of one death and several serious injuries, according to Vanguard.

Tinubu also criticised former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, questioning their leadership qualities. He also approved the Ibom Deep Sea Port project in Akwa Ibom.
