US EditionDefection: Eno Tells Unwilling Officials to Resign, Vows Not to Relinquish Akwa Ibom PDP Structure
- Governor Umo Eno announced on Thursday in Uyo that he will defect from the PDP to the APC and told his cabinet to prepare resignation letters if unwilling to join him.
- Eno cited the ongoing PDP leadership crisis, including litigation over the national secretary’s office, as the reason for his defection and noted prior defections by other South-south governors.
- He warned his appointees that they must either move with him to the APC or resign because he cannot have a cabinet working from opposing parties.
- Eno warned that those who choose to remain in the PDP and think they can challenge him through the party’s machinery after his departure are mistaken, emphasizing that he will continue to exert influence over the PDP structure even after leaving.
- This defection ends months of speculation, making Eno the first Akwa Ibom governor to leave the PDP since 1999, and could strengthen APC's influence in the South-south region.
