Governor Umo Eno: “I Love PDP, But It’s Time to Progressively Move On”
Governor Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom State has once again hinted at a possible defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), suggesting a political shift without explicitly naming the All Progressives Congress (APC) as his next home.
Speaking at a state banquet in Uyo on Thursday night to mark his second year in office, Governor Eno expressed his enduring respect and affection for the PDP but noted that it may be time to “progressively move on.”
“I respect our party, the PDP. I love the PDP. But we all know the way things are,” Eno told attendees. “Whatever happens, wherever life takes me, I will always love you. We’ve built strong friendships, and we will always keep them.”

Though he has avoided directly confirming a switch to the APC, Governor Eno has openly aligned himself with President Bola Tinubu and Senate President Godswill Akpabio ahead of the 2027 elections, fueling speculation about his next political move.
“If you have anything to do, invite me—I will come. I will always be there. But it’s time to progressively move. That again will not affect anything in this state. We do not govern based on political affiliations,” he added.
Calling for political unity, Governor Eno urged leaders across party lines to come together, saying, “We must always put Akwa Ibom first. We know we have Akwa Ibomites in the PDP, APC, YPP, and IPAC.”
He emphasized that what truly matters is ensuring food security, safety, and welfare for the people through the state’s ARISE Agenda.
Closing his speech, Eno said, “Whenever anyone flies into Akwa Ibom, please drop your party tag and know you are flying into a united Akwa Ibom.”
