Etim Etim writes about last Friday’s defection of Governor UmoEno of Akwa Ibom State from People’s Democratic Party to the All Progressives Congress and it’s implication on the state’s political permutations ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The defection of Governor UmoEno of Akwa Ibom State from People’s Democratic Party to All Progressives Congress last Friday was not a surprise, after all. I first got wind of the plan last year, and since then, I have written two articles on it. The last, entitled ‘’2027: Will Gov. Eno defect to APC?’’ was published in March.
Eno has taken his time to consult, convince various interest groups and build a consensus among PDP members and political associates for many months before he finally took the decision to move.
