Akwa Ibom State Governor, Pastor Umo Eno, has shared his personal story of growing up with albinism, describing the experience as difficult and filled with instances of bullying, body shaming, and social rejection.

In a deeply emotional message posted on X, he reflected on how these hardships influenced his perspective on life and helped build the strength that defines him today.

Growing up with albinism wasn’t easy; I faced bullying, body shaming, and rejection. But today, by God’s grace, I stand proudly.

“That’s why whenever I see anyone with this skin condition, I make it a point to honour and recognise them,” he wrote.
