Eno announced his decision on Tuesday, expressing gratitude to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for its past support while describing the switch as a “progressive step forward.”
He said the move followed wide consultations and was inspired by his admiration for President Bola Tinubu and a strong desire to align Akwa Ibom with the Federal Government to drive sustainable development.
“This decision wasn’t made lightly,” the governor said. “I consulted widely and chose the APC to ensure Akwa Ibom maximises the benefits of cooperation with the Federal Government.”
