National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, CON, alongside other members of the National Working Committee (NWC) of the Party, visited Umo Eno and Godswill Akpabio at the residence of the Senate President in Uyo ahead of the Akwa Ibom State Governor’s official decamping to the APC.
Governor Umo Eno, formerly under the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), defected to the governing APC as the ‘Broom’ Party declared Akwa Ibom officially an APC State.
Eno said, his decision to dump the ‘Umbrella’ Party was triggered by “enlightened State interest”, adding, that his administration had to align with the Federal Government in order to bring “more development and opportunities for our people”.
The APC said via its official X account: “Ahead of Akwa Ibom state Governor, HE. Umo Eno’s official decamping to the APC, the National Chairman, Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, and other members of the National Working Committee, visited the Governor and the Senate President, HE. Godswill Akpabio, at the latter’s residence in Uyo.”
