Governor Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom State has hinted at a possible defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC), drawing an analogy between the PDP and a malfunctioning aircraft.
As reported by Premium Times, during a constituency meeting, Governor Eno stated, “If you wanted to travel with Ibom Airline, and on the verge of taking off, it developed a fault that won’t enable it to fly, won’t you board the next available plane to take you to your destination?”
This statement has fueled speculations about his political future and potential realignment ahead of the 2027 elections.
Governor Eno’s remarks have sparked discussions within political circles, with analysts interpreting his analogy as a critique of the PDP’s internal challenges.
His potential defection could have significant implications for the political dynamics in Akwa Ibom State and beyond.
