The International Coordinator of Maintain Peace Movement (MPM), the platform that drove Umo Eno to the Hilltop Mansion, Barr. Emmanuel Enoidm, Ini Ememobong and 15 House of Assembly in Akwa Ibom have resisted the movement to the All Progressives Congress (APC), as Governor Eno finally defects today.

Our Correspondent reports that the resistance is not unconnected to the fact that over 60 per cent of of Governor Umo Eno’s executive cabinet, House of Assembly , Chairmen of Local Government Areas are loyalists of the former governor of the state, Mr. Udom Emmanuel, who is still a loyal member of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).

Also speaking on his reasons for refusing to the governor, Enoidem, who is also a former National Legal Adviser of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), stated that his stance was based on his political principles and values, not convenience.

According to him, political parties should serve as ideological homes not mere platforms for personal gain, saying that political consistency and discipline are essential for strengthening Nigeria’s democracy.

“They are harassing many people, and the APC is using intimidation to pressure people into ing ahead of 2027. I would Umo Eno, the governor who has a strong covenant with the people of Akwa Ibom in key areas.”

He pointed out that Eno was one of the best governors in the country presently, saying that he would continue to his istration even while he was in APC.

“He is one of the best governors we have had in the country, but I don’t think everybody should yield to that intimidation.

“2027, I will Eno that’s important to our people, he has done well in key areas of development, except he changed and is not performing, because everybody who goes to APC fails. They say failure is part of the gene in the APC.”

He hinted that after the governor’s defection, they would reassess the party, to know the way forward.

Speaking shortly after his defection, Governor Eno stated that the reason for his action was Enlightened State Interest predicated on the need to align Akwa Ibom State with the Centre to attract more Federal presence.

“Why am I in the APC, you may ask? The answer is short and simple: Enlightened State Interest is predicated on the need to align our State with the Centre to attract more Federal presence.

“That is the truth and simple as well as the exercise of my fundamental Right of Association as expressed in the 1999 Constitution as Amended.

“Earlier this morning, I submitted my formal Letter of Resignation from the PDP to my Ward Chairman, same copy was sent to both the State Chairman as well as the National Chairman. I have, therefore, decided to Progressively move to the All Progressive Congress, (APC).

“Standing before you today, I make bold to state categorically that, though I have, by today’s event, changed my political affiliation from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All-Progressives Congress (APC) my values, my moral fibre, the foundational principles I have nourished and lived by remain unchanged and sacrosanct,” Eno declared.

It is however not certain yet, how many stakeholders in the state would follow or resist the call by Governor Eno to the APC, as condemnation is trailing his decision from all angles.

Hmm 🧐

Una think say South South na weakling South West




We feed the nation and contributes 90% of Nigeria wealth



Na them need us no be we need them

I talk am 2027 go long eeehh

Governors wey get mind dey APC now have no conscience at all.

No wonder this gov has been hawking defection like gala yet couldn't make the move
He is aware Aks people are not with him in his journey to the coven
This just shows how spineless and selfish these politicians are
You have your people ready to you yet you choose to ditch them for your personal interest instead of standing up to their interest in their preferred party

No reasonable person will APC with this bad economy, if not for selfish interest.

..sifia pains for stipend grabbers..people that sold their souls to the devil..

Akpabio has played the governor. I won't be surprised if he doesn't allow him win apc primaries for second term.Go ask the politicians in his state he has betrayed alot.why did the past governor defect if it was the wish of his people.

I didn't read anywhere in the article where the Assembly shunned the defection order..

Obedients are crying blood..

Next is Bayelsa and Rivers States...Then we are done in the South. In the North Central, we need only Plateau State to complete the circle.


God Bless Tinubu for Nigerians!

PDP will still defeat APC in Akwa Ibom come 2027 election

Yet the 3 states with the highest federal allocation in the country which happens to be from the SS (Akwa Ibom, Delta and Rivers) have all ed the Baath party and will channel the states resources to the reelection bid of Tinubu.

But nah labour win for delta🤣🤣

After 2 weeks the story will be stale and everybody will rest

2027 una eyes go clear.

Tinubu will be declared winner even if he gets only 5k votes, and nothing will happen.

People will rant on twitter, after a week everybody will move on.

What does he even stand to gain by defecting to APC?
What was he thinking?
Was he afraid APC will rig him out in 2027?

God bless the state assembly

No intellectual man would want to associate himself with demons

The so called SP is my brother from the same polling unit but I will never stup low nor pull down my intellectualism to become his er or his political thugg just for a car benefit.

APC have no place in my state
Umo Eno is one of Udom numerous mistake which we must correct come 2027

Tinubu will get a cruel treatment from Nigerians in 2027

Very good patriotic and honorable
