It's you that doesn't reason before you talk. How do you know that the poster is an Igboman or woman?.
Why should an individual commit a crime and you find pleasure in heaping the blame on a whole tribe?
PDP governors, were performing governors before, both in the S'East and S'South. Think of the days of Peter Odili, Wike, Amaechi,Victor Attah, even GodsWill Akpabio. Udenwa was also a performing governor in his days. There's nothing wrong with PDP, as a party, but individuals who are there.
Labour Party has also produced good governors in the days of Oshiomole, Mimiko, so if Otti is doing, it's in their tradition.
So reason before you talk and don't heap the blame of someone's sin on a tribe.

I will not dignify you and give you the response you are looking for.

The APC run Federal Government is not ready for Ibom Sea Port financing of their 20% and will not grant license for establishment a University of Technology, and not also ready for a smooth landing of Udom Emmanuel (ExGov) unless Ibom becomes APC.

The Government is in quirkmire of sort, and needs to guarantee Akpabio's re-election by demonstration, and that demonstration is moving to the Progressives Forum.

He Governor has a choice, and his choice is to become friends with Tinubu, and so therefore, it was not a difficult choice for him to make.

But one thing is sure, Akwa Ibom will continue to do better even under APC. All PDP structures will become APC structures because 'what money can not do, more money can do it'.

Bob Marley and the Wailers.

You guys don’t know politics.

Akwa Ibom governor going to APC is the best for him and his administration

Aniluvreal:
I am asking this question again and again, what is Umo going to APC to do? Not that this APC is performing for you to say I am going there because of how they're performing. The worst political party with the worst ideology ever.

People are saying that politics is all about interest. I am asking again, what type of interest is Umo Eno looking for now in APC?does he want to contest for presidential election, me and you knows that it's not even possible. I don't know who's deceiving this man and he believes it.

Umo Eno really betrays us Akwa Ibomites. I don't care if Tinubu wins his reelection, that's not my business. But I want Umo Eno to be taught a life lesson if he finally decamps by losing his reelection bid, which is so imminent. Everyone will work against his reelection.

because of pdp leadership. As it stands today, any pdp members may not elected because of leadership issues crises except if they're bold enough to expell Wike

Once a governor defects to the APC, governance often mutates into a grotesque performance of entitlement.

The hunger to impress vanishes. Complacency creeps in like mold—quiet, stubborn, and destructive.

Innovation dies not with a shrug. Decisions that once sparked growth are replaced by ceremonial nonsense, photo-ops, and recycled rhetoric.

And now Akwa Ibom, a state that for over a decade stood as the eastern corridor’s vanguard of growth, risks being lobotomized—its strategic edge dulled by party loyalty over public service. I’m genuinely alarmed.

Thank God Enugu, Abia, and Anambra haven’t bent the knee to the center. That disalignment is a strange blessing—it keeps governors alert, uncomfortable, and thus accountable. Because when re-election isn't guaranteed by party machinery, performance becomes the only real currency.

Has Akwaibom ever had a proper administrator as governor. People celebrate Goodwill Akpabio for the mediocre performance without factoring the billions at his disposal. He swallowed 80% of the allocation to the state yet he is worshipped as a messiah. It breaks my heart

DeJoeee:
Nigeria is geographically divided into North, West and East. The Army, customs and other FG agencies operates with the Eastern, Northern and Western corridors in their tactical operations, The Nigerian economic zones are divided into Western, Eastern and Northern corridors. All SE/SS states except Edo state fall within the Eastern corridor
I am not interested in your petty politics but stop exposing your ignorance on a public forum

The eastern, northern and western corridor you're talking about is only possible because of the white men. Even Igbo land was not united before the arrival of the white men.

Lol, same Anambra that endorsed Tinubu for second term.

Abi Lagos is also NOT DEVELOPING.

Tinubu is about to Visit Enugu to commission projects.

Otti of Abia respects Tinubu so much.

You should be more worried about YOUR BRAIN functioning properly.

Lagos is an APC State

Was the entity called Nigeria existing before the white men came?

this piece was written by an igbo man and a notable tribalist on this forum so I don't expect to take this post serious.

Watch carefully how the poster focused on party affairs and state development without mentioning tribe but all the Yoruba responders twisted it to Igbo this, Igbo that. Yet tomorrow they will tell you that Igbos are the people causing tribalism.


That was how they turned 2023 Presidential election to a fight between Igbos and Yorubas just because an Igbo man for the first time since 1970s became a popular candidate in an unpopular party that was not even the ruling party or the main opposition party.


Before I drop my pen, let me also remind all that the tribal-incitement politics being witnessed in Nigeria of today started in Lagos when Oba of Lagos, Oba Akiolu threatened that if Igbos are not ready to vote for APC, that they should go back to East or that they will be thrown into the Lagos Lagoon. Mind you, in 2019 when the Oba of Lagos made this shameful hate-speech, no Igbo man was contesting election as President or Lagos Governor, it was between Buhari and Atiku two Fulani men, and Sanwo-Olu and Jimmy Agbaje two Yoruba men yet they tagged Jimmy Agbaje an Igbo candidate.


But the same Yorubas will turn around to blame Igbos without remembering how they started the whole game out of their fear of Igbos gaining federal political relevance in Nigeria which they wrongly believe would edge them out.



This post is made for history purposes, for people to reference on tomorrow, thanks

helinues:
No mincing of words. You people are immature, intolerant for political stuffs

You guys are not interested in living while allowing others to breathe

Worry about your home state, worry about your own life. Akwa Ibom people are not complaining to you

Akwa Ibom people are infact complaining, Mr helinues.
A lot. I live around them, BTW.

You don't even know what he meant by "the eastern corridor"
Find that one out first..

Whiteshield:
You sit in the East but you are stretching neck to cry that a South South state is a beacon of growth in the Eastern corridor. Why can't you pick a state in your region as an example of growth?
Or progress is a taboo in the East?
Akwa Ibom isn't even in the East.

If Pdp were such a fantastic party, why did you vote them out in Abia?

You are supporting LP but crying that someone decamped from Pdp. You people are not even serious.

i thought you guys said party affiliation was imaterial and that it was all down to voting individuals
