Defect with me or resign - Akwa Ibom state governor, Umo Eno tells his Commissioners as he announces his defection from PDP

The governor of Akwa Ibom State, Umo Eno, has directed all his commissioners and appointees to either defect with him to the All Progressives Congress (APC) or resign from their positions. Governor Eno gave the directive during the State Executive Council on Thursday, May 23. In his words;Its no more news that Im moving party, if you dont know that by now, I dont know what else you know, Governor Eno said. He told the commissioners and appointees that they are not obligated to join him in the APC, but he cant allow them to remain in his cabinet while in another party.So, we want our commissioners and members of Excos, appointees; I am told that some of you are saying that you will not come, you are free, absolutely free not to join me, but you wont be in my state executive council.So, you better just be prepared to resign the day I announce that Im moving because you are an appointee and your loyalty is to me. You cant be in my cabinet and play anti party, its not a threat, it is what it is. I wont beg you to come, you should normally not even expect it, he told the appointees. The governor said that although he loves the PDP, he cannot guarantee a seamless election victory in the party due to its ongoing internal crisis. I love the PDP, I want to stay in the PDP but clearly, I dont have a road map to guarantee that Ill be able to have a smooth sail in the elections, not because we wont win elections. In this state today, with the work that all of us have done, even if we contest on a zero party, we will win this election. Theres no doubt about it. Weve worked very hard, but we know that at the national level that our party is not coming together.Every day, secretary this and that, and so you take your form, they send it to INEC, and then you run all the elections, you perhaps win the elections and just on technical ground, because the wrong person signed your form, you lose everything Governor Eno said Watch a video of him speaking below     View this post on Instagram           A post shared by Lindaikejiblog (@lindaikejiblogofficial)
