The Governor of Akwa Ibom state, Umo Eno, has insisted that he has no apology for supporting President Bola Tinubu for a second term in office.


Eno stated this on Friday while announcing his defection from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to the All Progressives Congress, APC.

The ceremony took place at the State House in Uyo, the state capital.


According to Eno, he always admired Tinubu from the time he was the governor of Lagos State.

“As a young professional working in Lagos while he was the governor, I have always admired his style of leadership with focus and vision.

“I have no doubt this vigour and renewed energy is being applied to the nation today.


“I have no apology whatsoever for supporting President Tinubu for a second term in office, to complete the reforms he has started.,” he said.

Our politics is devoid of ideology. The Governor wants to secure his 2nd tenure. Endorsing the President was assured and expected with his defection.

2027 should, ideally, be a referendum for the APC, especially at the national level. In reality, stomach infrastructure politics, electorates self-indulgent attitudes, opposition parties candidates and our judicial system would determine the continuity or otherwise of the President and other candidates seeking re-election.

Why didn't he contested under APC as a governor is he was this in love with the Party

RIDE ON.
We IGBO yoots are behind Emilokan

Bros! You are on point.......

EveryBody should be bold enough to support whoever they want to support.
Make nobody come here come wail, Umo Eno has made his choice!

Those who say a governor has only one vote are only consoling themselves

President Bola Tinubu is miles ahead of his enemies.

This one doesn't have a mind of his own

Hehehe.

For the sake of power you can do anything, nobody is surprised

Bmaje:
How many votes per voter in Nigeria or is there sometime nobody is telling us

gbeske.

And na pastor be thisooo,supporting a government that have weaponized poverty as a means of remaining in power, this is why once u enter Nigeria politics, whether your title is archbishop, the devil will use u to inflict pains on citizens with in your domain... PDP should go to court over this defections before they lose remaining relevance because tinubu is desperate for second term and is determined to carry it through

Pastor PREACH !!!

They can all defect as much as they like.
My own is, let there be credible free & fair elections where the votes of every Nigerian will count.

Of course, his second term is at stake reason his personal interest is the "public good".😂😂😂

This one has spent too much time explaining and re-explaining. This simply means the move is greatly unpopular amongst his populace. If Akwa Ibomites are convinced about your defection, you wouldn't need to talk this much. Tinubu will sacrifice each and everyone of you for his inordinate ambition.

There's a big difference between the defections happening now and what happened in 2015. The defections have failed to give APC the needed momentum and they are becoming increasingly jittery. Lately, the defections have even made Nigerians more determined to vote out Tinubu. 2027 will be very interesting. I don't know of any single person outside the Southwest and not a politician saying, "I didn't vote Tinubu in 2023 but I am going to vote him in 2027 because my governor decamped". The politicians themselves are only doing so to get more streetlight allocations priced at over 200 million naira per one but until Tinubu is willing and able to award the contract equivalent of one streetlight each to every single voter, then he has his work cut out for him.

The governor has a right to associate with anyone he chooses .He was open in all the days leading to yesterday.

Okay

In my opinion, most southern governors are aligning themselves with Tinubu for the next Presidential election because he is a southerner.

Ur people said NO to your defection, yet you defected. Time will Tell


Btw politicians so called consultations are mere formalities

The yam has gone round

The race has ended before it even begins.


Flawless victory for Asiwaju Jagaban.


4+4 is a goal.

One thing that's clear like sunlight is d fact that umo enough will win his reelection bid.

Udom messed up d state big time, road contracts he (Udom) started he didn't complete after 8yrs, umo enough has gone around on making amazing roads building skols and good infrastructure round the state, no one in Akwa ibpm will vote any other than him...

We may not like Tinubu that much, but U see umo eno, him dong win both seconds term n to be a great Akwa ibom statesman

PDP is not serious, walahi.

Wow. Okay

Paper weight.

Both him and Tinubu will lose their reelection

Oga Chochocho!

Who ask you?

Why the plenty plenty explanation since the news of your planned defection?

Are you feeling dirty by your actions? Don't be. You are a Nigerian politician afterall.

Zero ideology!

But resist the urge to shalaye

And this one too na Pastor?

Na holy Spirit tell am wetin he dey do?🤔
