Governor Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom has officially dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the All Progressives Congress (APC).

He announced his defection on Friday, during a ceremony at the Government House in Uyo.

The event drew top APC figures from across the country.

Speaking at the gathering, Eno said: “After completing the rounds of my consultation as your servant whom you have elected to serve, I have therefore decided to progressively move to the APC.”

He described the move as strategic and not a sign of weakness.

“We are not joining the APC from a position of weakness, but from a position of strength. We’re bringing value to Akwa Ibom State. We’ve come into the APC with a ministry of reconciliation,” he added.

Present at the ceremony were Governors Babajide Sanwo-Olu (Lagos), Sheriff Oborevwori (Delta), Bassey Otu (Cross River), and Monday Okpebholo (Edo), alongside Senate President Godswill Akpabio and his wife Ekaette.
