Akwa Ibom State Governor, Umo Eno, has revealed that he once made not less than N10m monthly from his akara and bread business before venturing into politics.
Eno made the disclosure during the state’s monthly covenant prayer service on Tuesday, which started trending on Wednesday.
The governor said he started the business by selling akara and bread, which he packaged as “Akara Burger”, before expanding into a coffee shop.
“We still have that shop there. I started selling Akara and bread. Back then, I was doing Akara Burger. We open the bread and put it inside for you. People going to Exxon Mobil will buy it in the morning, take coffee.
