Akwa Ibom State Governor, Pastor Umo Eno PhD has officially detected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Speaking at his defection ceremony today, the governor said:

“I have decided to progressively move to the All Progressive Congress. Let me assure you that our government has always been an inclusive government, that will never change”.

President of Ijaw National Congress (INC), Prof Okaba Benjamin, yesterday, said there’s nothing wrong if the suspended Governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara, decides to defect to APC.

Speaking at a town hall meeting in Ikot Abasi, Eno said, “It is time to move” and align the state to APC at the federal level, a decision he said was taken after extensive consultations.

“We are progressively moving forward, linking Akwa Ibom to the centre. I know you’re going with us. Are you going with us, so we can connect to the centre?

“We thank you for your support. I’ve gone round to consult, and so we have done enough consultation. The time has come for us to move, and we will go to where God is leading us.”
