President Bola Tinubu visited Akwa Ibom State to campaign for his administration and Governor Umo Eno, urging voters—particularly young people—to secure their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) as tools for shaping the nation's future. He defended his economic reforms, stating that his policies rescued the country from financial collapse, halted rampant inflation, and enabled states to pay salaries. He also highlighted achievements in education, pointing to the student loan program funded by recovered corruption assets and noting that universities are no longer experiencing strikes. During the event, the President approved the construction of the Ibom Deep Sea Port in response to a request from Governor Eno, praising the governor's efforts in infrastructure development and land reclamation. He also criticized opposition figures, questioning their leadership capabilities and political consistency. 

However, the political visit was marred by a serious traffic accident along Oron Road in Uyo. An Akwa Ibom State Transport Corporation bus carrying women to the airport to welcome the President collided with a security Hilux van. The crash caused severe damage to both vehicles, resulting in multiple injuries and at least one feared fatality. Emergency responders rushed to the scene to evacuate the injured, and the Federal Road Safety Corps confirmed that a response team was deployed to manage the situation and investigate the cause of the collision.
