Akwa Ibom State Governor, His Excellency, Pastor Umo Eno, has issued a bold directive to his political appointees, urging them to either defect with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) or vacate their positions in his administration.
The governor, who made this known during a high-level meeting with members of his cabinet and aides, stressed the need for unity and shared political direction within his government. He made it lucid that loyalty to the vision of his administration must go hand in hand with political alignment.
“I will not tolerate divided loyalty. If you believe in my leadership and the direction we are going, then defect with me to the APC. If not, I urge you to respectfully resign,” Governor Eno declared.
This statement marks a vital political shift in the state, as the governor signals a full embrace of the APC and calls on his team to follow suit or make way for those who will.
The move has already sparked widespread discussion among political observers and stakeholders, with many viewing it as a strategic consolidation of power ahead of upcoming political battles.
