The Akwa Ibom State Governor, Umo Eno has indicated that he would be abandoning the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP soon.
Eno was recently believed to have been nursing intentions to defect to the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC ahead of the 2027 election.
The governor spoke to supporters at the Ukanafun/Oruk Anam federal constituency’s Town Square meeting on Tuesday at the Ukanafun local government area’s headquarters, the QIC Central School in Ikot Akpankuk.
He pointed out that the primary opposition party is no longer able to transport him to his next stop.
He said, “If you wanted to travel with Ibom Airline, and on the verge of taking off, it developed a fault that won’t enable it to fly, won’t you board the next available plane to take you to your destination?”
Sheriff Oborewori, the governor of Delta State, was the most recent in a wave of PDP defections, according to reports.
The choice was made for the people’s benefit, according to the governor, who joined the ruling party along with many of his followers.
