Gov Eno hints on imminent defection from PDP to APC in Akwa Ibom
Governor Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom State has hinted of his planned defection to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) from the main opposition party Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
This followed the gale of defection from the PDP with the latest being the governor Sheriff Oborewori of Delta State, his predecessor, Ifeanyi Okowa, alongside several supporters to the APC
Eno, who gave the hint while speaking against the backdrop of recent gale of defection, described PDP as a spoilt plane.
The governor explained that PDP may no longer has the capacity to take him to the next destination from 2027.
He added that the heavily fragmented PDP may soon grind to a halt.
According to him, he might join the fray soon as the crucial 2027 election year inches closer.
“If you wanted to travel with Ibom Airline, and on the verge of taking off, it developed a fault that won’t enable it to fly, won’t you board the next available plane to take you to your destination?” Eno queried.
Eno, however, asked the people of the State to remain steadfast in support of his administration in its quest to deliver on its campaign promises.
