APC welcomes Tinubu to A’Ibom for defection of Eno

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Akwa Ibom State is set to welcome President Bola Tinubu to the state for the defection Governor Umo Eno from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Sen. Ita Enang, in a statement in Uyo on Friday, hinted on the party’s preparation for the reception of Governor Eno from the PDP to the APC.

Enang further said that the APC is fully prepared to receive the Vice President, the party’s National Chairman, and governors elected on the party’s platform.

It would be recalled that on June 6, Eno officially announced his defection from the People’s Democratic Party to APC.

Enang, a former Special Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on National Assembly and Niger Delta Affairs, said that the governor’s decision had aligned Akwa Ibom to the centre.

He assured the governor and his supporters that the APC would receive them with open arms, and keep to every agreement that had been reached.

“As progressives, we shall work with the governor and his supporters to ensure that they fit into the party without hitches.

“We will also work with them to align programmes of the state government with the ideals and manifesto of the party,” he said.

Enang described the governor’s entry into APC as a merger that would be of immense benefits to the state and its people.(NAN)
