Akwa Ibom PDP Governorship Candidate, Umo Eno Convicted

The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Akwa Ibom State, Umo Bassey Eno, has been convicted by a Chief Magistrate Court in Abuja. Naija News learned that the warrant of arrest for Eno was issued to the Nigeria Police Force by Chief magistrate Emmanuel Iyanna on December 23, 2022.

The PDP governorship candidate is said to be facing charges of “cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of property” filed by one Edet Godwin Etim in the suit marked CR/94/2022.

A source confirmed to TheCable that the criminal proceedings have been concluded and Eno was convicted by the magistrate court.


“The warrant of arrest is based on criminal proceedings conviction conducted by the chief magistrate court, Wuse, Abuja, and directed that the defendant be arrested and brought to court for sentencing having continuously refused to surrender himself to court,” the source said.


Recall that Eno, who is the preferred candidate of Governor Udom Emmanuel of Akwa Ibom State won the party’s governorship primary held in May 2022.

The businessman secured 993 votes, while a total of 1,018 delegates participated in the election.

He defeated a member of the House of Representatives, Onofiok Luke, who got two votes; and Senator Bassey Albert, who polled one vote.

This is what you get when a sitting governor is trying to impose a candidate on the people to cover up his mess.
Buhari paid Akwa Ibom State government 13 % derivative of crude oil from 1999 to 2022, yet nothing has been shown for in the state apart from useless projects. And some youths feel it's normal when the rate of unemployment here is at its peak.
Please arrest this man, we the good people of Akwa ibom State are in support of it.
Udom Emmanuel cannot use our oil money to impose his candidate by force.

Are you his wife or son or very close confidante to know all locations he has properties?

I am always shocked the way you nairalanders say things you don't know with confidence.

Which politician is not interested in having properties in the nation's capital?

The ruling will be vacated by a higher court. Mark it. I am not conversant with the details of this case in order to assert the culpability or otherwise of the suspect. Nobody is above the law. If he is culpable may the law entrap him.

Not under Buhari, check records 3 ex governors has been jailed under Buhari. If not for already corrupt system, I am sure more would have be convicted

This is a dicey situation, but a criminal should not be a governor.

We can't exonerate him of his crime base on technicalities, whether the crime was comited in Akwa ibom or Abuja or anywhere in the world, if truly he committed it, he should answer it.

Why should he not answer for his crime?
