Gov. Umo Eno Explains Why He Dumped PDP for APC
Governor Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom State has revealed that it took him nearly seven months to convince the people of the state on why he decided to leave the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Eno, who officially defected in June 2025, said his decision was driven by his conviction that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is doing well in office. He explained that while he deeply appreciates the platform provided by the PDP, the constitution allows leaders the freedom to align with the party that reflects their convictions.
“Everyone has their conviction and what they live for. Personally, I am convinced beyond any doubt that this president is doing well. Politics itself is dynamic. The constitution permits movement when you need to support what you believe in,” Eno stated during an interview with Arise Television.
The governor disclosed that he spent close to six to seven months meeting with various groups in Akwa Ibom, explaining why he felt it was necessary to support Tinubu’s administration.
He stressed that his choice should not be a subject of personal attacks, noting that political opinions are a constitutional right.
On the economy, Eno praised Tinubu for making bold reforms despite the challenges he inherited.
“This president met the economy in shambles. Today, the naira is stabilizing. We are seeing reforms in tax, electricity, and subsidy removal. From day one, he ended fuel subsidy—something even military presidents could not do. That bold step freed funds for states to provide better services,” he said.
Eno also highlighted progress in the power sector, citing that states can now participate directly in the electricity market to serve citizens better.
