Akwa Ibom State Governor, Pastor Umo Eno, has reportedly issued a bold directive to of his istration, urging all commissioners and political appointees to follow him in defecting to the All Progressives Congress (APC) or step down from their positions, News360 Nigeria reports.

The announcement was said to have been made during a State Executive Council (EXCO) meeting held on Thursday.

During the session, Governor Eno allegedly confirmed his intention to leave the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the APC and emphasized that his decision should not come as a shock to anyone within his cabinet.

According to insider sources who attended the meeting, the governor made it unequivocally clear that continued loyalty and collaboration within his government would require alignment with his new political direction.

His statement implied that any official unwilling to make the switch would be expected to resign their role in the istration.

“Anybody who claims he is not aware of my intention to leave the PDP is still living in the 18th century,” he said.

He explained that his decision to align with the APC was driven by his iration for the leadership style of President Bola Tinubu, adding that he wants to work more closely with the Federal Government.

The governor issued a stern warning to his appointees, saying he has “nothing to negotiate” with anyone unwilling to follow his political direction.

“Apart from elected officials like House of Assembly and Local Government Chairmen, I have nothing to negotiate with you,” Eno declared.

“Let me tell you, anybody who believes that when I leave the PDP he will use the party structure to fight me is lying, because I will still control the PDP structure.”

As of the time of filing this report, the State Executive Council meeting was still in session, with further developments expected in the coming hours.

Our democracy is finished! I recall sometime back in 2007 or 2008 when the then senator representing Adamawa central Prof Jibril Aminu granting an interview to a media house. In that interview he said the ruling PDP shouldn't be so glad accepting detectors from other parties in theirmidst, cos when the tables are turned and they find themselves in opposition, the same thing will be done to them. Lo and behold that prediction is comin true. Someday the ruling APC will find themselves hemorrhaging to the new ruling party. Na turn by turn

If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything" .
having strong beliefs and values is crucial for making sound decisions and avoiding manipulation.

It's really sad to see so many men failing and floundering in this gross material realm. your days in your mother's womb and consider the indeterminable period you'll spend it in the grave after you on. There's no Tinubu gonna advocate for you where you're going, no hope for you if you wreck you eternal destiny cos of things swayed you during your time on earth. Consider your ways while you still breathe

Wahala waa oh... How many pdp governor remain sef? The only correct thing he said is that all parties in Nigeria are the same and they all have no ideology..... With delta, cross river, akwa-ibom, and edo now under APC, technically Rivers is APC with wike, only bayelsa state in d south south is pdp..... With all dis,iswr it will be difficult to defeat tinubu.... We all screamed about buhari but he still won his re-election.... Pdp now has less than 9 states

Don't dare Godswill Akpabio
Even in APC, he is love by akwa-ibomites.
He developed akwa-ibom u are see today.

He became SENATE PRESIDENT in PDP state.

Now that he has power in his hands, umoh Eno knows his chances will be slim for re-election. That's why Eno has to decamp for greater chances.

If Akpabio did decamp to APC He would have not become Senate president

Our democracy is finished!

But u say something different when some people decamped to labour party last week

The truth is that politics in Nigeria is a game of benefits.. no single politicans in Nigeria have mass in mind. They only need mass during elections, that's why they can promise heaven and earth when they are out of power.


Fear Nigeria politicans... Non of them love masses

Anyone knowing how APC views and reacts to any opposition to their party and gov’t will see the rank hypocrisy oozing from the bolded statement! You think if PDP was so intolerant of opposition before 2015 elections that you lot would be here today!?
