Governor Umo Eno claims N10 million monthly income from akara and bread burgers at ExxonMobil

Akwa Ibom State Governor Umo Eno stated he earned N10 million monthly selling food to workers. Social media users debate the accuracy of his claim regarding his small business.

Governor Umo Eno claimed during a recent prayer meeting in Uyo that he generated at least N10 million in monthly income from selling akara and bread burgers to employees at an ExxonMobil facility. He confirmed the shop still operates, noting customers bought the food alongside coffee before starting their workday. During the gathering attended by religious leaders and business officials, Eno explained his process of combining ingredients for a specific burger product. While he presented these figures as established earnings, social media reactions remain divided. One individual named Nestor Udoh, a retired medical doctor, suggested the comment highlights how politicians prioritize small business anecdotes over other high-income family ventures. Critics argued that while the governor might have earned N10 million from this specific venture, political commentary often focuses on such details while ignoring other income sources within the family. The event took place at Eno's office with participation from various state groups.
