Akwa Ibom State Governor, Umo Eno, has confirmed his decision to decamp from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Eno, who was elected under the aegis of PDP disclosed his decision during the recent State Executive Council meeting.

He said, “It’s no more news that I’m moving party, if you don’t know that by now, I don’t know what else you know.

“I love the PDP, I want to stay in the PDP but clearly, I don’t have a road map to guarantee that I’ll be able to have a smooth sail in the elections, not because we won’t 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.

“There’s no doubt about it. We’ve 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.”
