Speaking during the event, Governor Eno declared that he is not joining the APC from a position of weakness but from a place of strength.

 

He also emphasized the need to align Akwa Ibom State with politics at the federal level.

 

“We’re not joining the APC from a position of weakness, but from a position of strength. We’re bringing value to Akwa Ibom State. We’ve come into the APC with a ministry of reconciliation,” he said.

 

The Akwa Ibom State Governor noted that his defection was done after necessary consultation and approval of the people of the state.

 

“After completing the rounds of my consultation as your servant whom you have elected to serve, I have therefore decided to progressively move to the APC,” he said.

 

Eno confirmed that he has duly submitted his letter of resignation to the PDP leadership at the ward, state and national levels before publicly announcing his defection.

 

NewsOnline Nigeriareports that Eno becomes the second PDP Governor to defect to the APC under the current administration after Sheriff Oborevwori, of  Delta State, made headlines on April 23, 2025, with his defection from the PDP to the APC.
