Akwa Ibom Governor Umo Eno to Dump PDP for APC in June

Though Governor Eno has not publicly confirmed the switch, insiders suggest that political consultations and strategy sessions have been ongoing with key APC stakeholders both within and outside the state.
The anticipated defection, if confirmed, marks a significant shift for the governor, who was elected under the PDP banner in 2023.
His departure from the PDP, a party that has dominated Akwa Ibom politics for over two decades, could have wide-ranging implications for the state’s political alignment ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Analysts are already weighing the potential impact, with some predicting a ripple effect that could see more political figures in the state switching allegiance.
Others caution that the move could deepen existing divisions within the PDP and further consolidate the APC’s influence in the South-South region.
Neither the Akwa Ibom State Government nor Governor Eno’s media team has issued an official statement regarding the defection as of the time of this report.
