The Akwa Ibom State Governor, Umo Eno has confirmed that he would be dumping the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP soon.
Eno was recently rumoured to have been nursing plans to defect to the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC ahead of the 2027 election.
The governor addressed supporters during the Town Square meeting of the Ukanafun/Oruk Anam federal constituency at the QIC Central School, Ikot Akpankuk, headquarters of Ukanafun local government area in Tuesday.
He noted that the main opposition party can no longer take him to the next destination.
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?”
Urban Express News Online reports that there has been a gale of defections from the PDP with the latest being the Delta State governor Sheriff Oborewori.
The governor, who moved to the ruling party with many of his supporters, said the decision was for the benefit of the people.
