From Isaac Job, Uyo
The Chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC) Governors’ Forum and Governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodinma with his Cross River State counterpart, Governor Bassey Otu have reportedly arrived Akwa Ibom state Government House, Uyo to witness the defection of Pastor Umo Eno from Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressive Congress party.
The Daily Sun gathered that the two governors arrived at Hilltop Mansion last Thursday evening and were received by Pastor Umo Eno ahead of his official pronouncement on his defection to APC on Friday.
Confirming the incident to our reporter this morning, one of the Senior Aides to Pastor Umo Eno, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said he had seen the video of Governor Uzodinma arriving at the Government House last night, adding that the video was trending on social media.
“Yes, I have seen the video of Uzodinma as he arrived Government House last night.
“We are suspecting the governor will pronounce his defection from PDP to APC today. We are watching developments “
Eno had told the people during the Town Square meeting in Ikot last Thursday that he would progressively move to the centre to align the state with national politics.
He was reportedly booed and shouted down at the meeting as many people rejected such moves through their chorus resistance by shouting “No! No! No!”
