The governor of Akwa-Ibom State, Umo Eno, may soon leave the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in preparation for his re-election in the 2027 general elections.   

The governor spoke on Tuesday at a town square meeting at the Ukanafun/Oruk Anam federal constituency held at QIC Central School, Ikot Akpankuk.

Eno, while speaking, likened his party, the PDP, to a faulty aircraft.

“What Akwa Ibom people want is good governance, not the name of the party,” he said.

“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, wouldn’t you board the next available plane to take you to your destination?

“Whether Ibom Air or Air Peace, board the flight that is ready to take you to your destination. Board the flight and forget the name of the airline.”

In less than three weeks, this marked the third time the governor has made remarks against his political party.

According to him, the PDP is now fragmented and risks grinding to a halt before the 2027 elections.

He urged the people of the state to remain steadfast in their support for his administration and its commitment to delivering on campaign promises.

During the meeting, Eno also distributed “empowerment packages” to more than 400 beneficiaries, including business grants, vehicles and other support items.

Last week, the governor said he is supporting President Bola Tinubu for a second term, because they have promised to support him for another term.

He said supporting the president is not a betrayal of his People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
