Umo Eno, the governor of Akwa Ibom State, has instructed all of his commissioners and appointees to either defect from their positions or resign.
Governor Eno confirmed what has been rumored as rumors on social media for a while when he issued the directive on Thursday at the State Executive Council.
If you haven’t heard that I’m moving party by now, you should know what else, according to Governor Eno.
He informed the commissioners and appointees that they are not required to join him in the APC and that they cannot permit them to remain in his cabinet while they are members of another party.

“So, we want our commissioners, members of the Excos, appointees, because some of you are telling me not to join me, that you are free, that you are absolutely free, but that you won’t be in my state executive council,” commissioners, and members of the Excos have been informed.
You should just be prepared to resign as soon as I announce that I’m moving because you are an appointee and I value your loyalty. You can’t play anti-party in my cabinet; it’s just a threat. You should normally not even anticipate it, he told the appointees. “I won’t beg you to come,” he said.
The governor claimed that despite his admiration for the PDP, he cannot guarantee a winning outcome in the party’s ongoing internal conflict.
I support the PDP, and I want to continue, but it’s obvious that I don’t have a plan in place to ensure that our elections will go smoothly, not because we won’t win. We will win this election in this state today thanks to the hard work that everyone of us has put forth, even if we run against a single party. There is no denying that. Although we’ve put a lot of effort into it, we are aware that our party is not unified at the national level.
