Umo Eno shuns Attah's failed elders council meeting

The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Akwa Ibom State, Umo Eno shunned the recent elders council meeting convened by the former governor of the State, Obong Victor Attah.

Attah, a self-acclaimed chairman of Elders Council, had convened a meeting last Wednesday all the governorship candidates in the State but only a handful of candidates attended the meeting.

Eno, who was unveiled by Attah and presented to Governor Udom Emmanuel and PDP stakeholders for adoption as preferred successor in January 2022, allegedly said that the elders council meeting was meaningless to him as he was already favoured to win the governorship election.

A source closed to Eno said the PDP governorship candidate intentionally shunned the elders council meeting because he no longer considers Attah to be relevant to his ambition.

“Umo Eno deliberately shunned the elders council meeting because he thinks he has won the election already. When he got the invitation, he was like 'This is meaningless. What is the importance of the meeting? I have won the election already.'

“He feels that Attah does not have any value to him again because he had used to get the adoption of the party stakeholders,” the source said.

Other frontline governorship candidates who did not attend the elders council meeting were Mr Bassey Albert of Young Progressives Party (YPP), and Mr Akanimo Udofia of All Progressives Congress (APC).
