Governor Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom State, has hinted on dumping the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Speaking at a town hall meeting in Ikot Abasi Federal Constituency on Wednesday, Eno said “it is time to move” and align the state to APC at the Federal level.
The governor said the decision was taken after conducting extensive consultations.
According to Eno: “We’re progressively moving forward, linking Akwa Ibom to the center. And I know you’re going with us. Are you going with us, so we can connect to the center?
“We thank you for your support. I’ve gone round to consult and so we have done enough consultation. The time has come that we will move. And we will go to where God is leading us.
“Do not be afraid. Believe in us. Believe in President Bola Tinubu because the future is bright. We are already a minority state in Nigeria.
“If we come again and start breaking ourselves into pieces, we become the minority of the minorities and cannot get anything.”
Eno has always spoken highly of President Bola Tinubu, stressing that the president will remain in power till 2031.
