The governor stated this at the Peoples Democratic Party Secretariat, in Uyo while celebrating the Supreme Court victory which affirmed him as the duly elected governor of the state.
The Supreme Court had, on Thursday in Abuja, dismissed three separate appeals by the All Progressives Congress, Young Progressive Congress and the New Nigeria People’s Party and their candidates against the governor of Akwa Ibom State.
These were after the counsel for the party involved in the matter opted to withdraw their appeals.
Eno said, “Yesterday by the special grace of the Almighty God, the Supreme Court affirmed our governorship, affirmed all of your labour, your campaigns, your belief, all of your votes and so this calls for a double celebration. It has become both a New Year visit and a victory celebration so we return all the glory to God.
“I appreciate God for seeing me through 26 court cases, out of which eight were dragged to the Supreme Court.
“I acknowledged the party structure’s unwavering support before, during and after the election. The victory has further renewed my commitment to do better as a servant leader.”
Earlier, the State Chairman of the party, Aniekan Akpan, appreciated the governor for his laudable developmental strides in the last seven months of his administration, saying that he has fulfilled his campaign promises to the people, making the party proud of him.
He described the governor’s victory at the Supreme Court as a confirmation of the people’s wish and proof that his emergence was divine.
He commended the governor for his synergy with the Federal Government and other leaders at the national level towards expanding the horizon of development in the state and assured the governor of the party’s continued support in the delivery of dividends of democracy to the people.
