PRESS RELEASE
POSTPONEMENT OF THE G-10 PRESS CONFERENCE SCHEDULED FOR 1ST OCTOBER 2026
The Directorate of Support Groups wishes to inform all support groups, group heads, members, the media, invited guests and the general public that the Gov. Umo Eno 2027 & Beyond Advocates (G-10) Press Conference, earlier scheduled for Thursday, 1st October 2026, at the NUJ Press Centre, Information Drive, Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, has been postponed until further notice.
The postponement follows the directive issued by the Akwa Ibom State Police Command on 30th September 2026, directing political parties, political groups, associations and other stakeholders to reschedule all previously approved political activities scheduled for 1st October 2026, in view of security concerns in the state.
In compliance with the directive and out of respect for the security measures put in place by the Police Command, the Directorate of Support Groups has decided that the press conference will not hold as earlier announced.
We therefore urge all support group heads, coordinators, members and invited guests to take note of the postponement and kindly refrain from proceeding to the venue or organising any activity connected to the event on 1st October.
We sincerely regret any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate the understanding and cooperation of all support groups, group heads, members of the media, invited guests and other stakeholders.
A new date will be communicated in due course, following the necessary consultations and when the security situation permits.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
Signed:
Directorate of Support Groups.
