The All Progressives Congress (APC) has welcomed Akwa Ibom State Governor, His Excellency Umo Eno, into its fold. The announcement was made in a press statement issued by the APC National Secretariat in Abuja, signed by National Publicity Secretary Felix Morka, Esq.


The statement, released on Friday, expressed the party’s delight at Governor Eno’s decision to join the APC under the leadership of National Working Committee Chairman, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, CON.
The APC lauded Eno’s move as a thoughtful decision expected to drive greater progress for the people of Akwa Ibom State. “We are confident that his thoughtful decision will inure to the greater progress of Akwa Ibom State and people,” the statement read.
The APC also pledged its full support to Governor Eno, assuring him of the party’s cooperation as it continues to advance the “Renewed Hope Agenda” of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the benefit of all Nigerians.

This agenda, a cornerstone of Tinubu’s administration, focuses on economic growth, infrastructure development, and social welfare.
Eno’s defection to the APC marks a strategic gain for the party in the South-South region, where it has historically faced challenges in expanding its influence.
Political analysts suggest that this move could reshape the political landscape in Akwa Ibom and strengthen the APC’s position ahead of future elections. However, details surrounding the circumstances of Eno’s decision remain limited, and it is unclear whether this shift will impact ongoing state policies or alliances.
As the APC celebrates this high-profile addition, all eyes will be on Akwa Ibom to see how Governor Eno’s new political affiliation will influence governance and development in the oil-rich state.
