The Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Umo Eno has officially dumped the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC), ending months of speculations.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports Governor Eno announced his defection on Friday, citing critical admiration for President Bola Tinubu’s leadership style as reason his for joining the APC.
“Having completed the rounds of my consultation, as your servant that you have elected to serve you, I have, therefore, decided to progressively move to the All Progressives Congress,” Eno said while announcing his defection at the Government House in Uyo, the State capital.
The Akwa Ibom State Governor disclosed that earlier this morning he had submitted a formal letter of resignation from the People’s Democratic Party to his ward chairman and that same copy of the letter has been sent to both the State PDP chairman and the national chairman.
“I want to make it emphatically clear. We are not joining the APC from a position of weakness. We are joining the APC from a position of strength. We are bringing value to the All Progressives Congress in Akwa Ibom State.
“We are joining the APC today because of our critical admiration and respect for the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR, and to provide the needed support for the Senate President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Godswill Akpabio, from the home base” Eno said.
