Byline: Isaac Job, Uyo
Akwa Ibom State Governor Umo Eno has directed all commissioners and political appointees to join him in defecting to the All Progressives Congress (APC) or resign. The order was issued during a State Executive Council meeting at Government House, Uyo, on Thursday.
Moreover, Eno confirmed his decision to leave the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), stating, “Anybody who claims he is not aware of my intention to leave PDP is still living in the 18th century.”
He warned appointees, saying, “Apart from elected officials like House of Assembly members and local government chairmen, I have nothing to negotiate with you.”

Furthermore, he claimed control over the PDP structure even after defecting, asserting, “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.” Eno acknowledged receiving N200 billion in monthly allocations, as reported locally, but expressed discomfort with such publicity due to interest from neighbouring states like Cross River.
Eno reiterated his political dominance, repeating, “Let me tell you, anybody who believes that when I leave PDP, he will use the party structure to fight me, is lying because I will still control the PDP structure.”
