A political aide to Akwa Ibom State Governor Umo Eno has issued a stern warning to an associate of Senator Akpabio, urging them to cease what are described as daily insults directed at former Governor Udom Emmanuel. The aide explicitly stated that such rhetoric, aimed at stirring "baseless political tension," is unacceptable and undermines the efforts to foster a stable political environment.

This public admonishment highlights the delicate political landscape in Akwa Ibom, where alliances and rivalries continue to shape the discourse. The warning suggests that certain political actors are perceived as actively working to destabilize the administration by attacking its predecessors, thereby creating unnecessary friction.

The statement, originating from the governor's camp, serves as a clear signal that such attacks will not be tolerated. It underscores the administration's commitment to maintaining a level of decorum and focus on governance, rather than engaging in what it terms "baseless" political provocations. The situation reflects the broader dynamics of power and influence within the state's political arena.
