Okpebholo Welcomes Governor Eno to APC
In a move seen as a significant boost to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Governor Monday Okpebholo of Edo State has welcomed the defection of his Akwa Ibom counterpart, Pastor Umo Eno, to the APC. Okpebholo expressed optimism that Eno’s bold decision would strengthen the party’s presence in the South South region and contribute to national cohesion and development.
In a statement released by his Chief Press Secretary, Fred Itua, Governor Okpebholo commended Eno’s courageous move, describing it as a demonstration of commitment to the advancement and development of Akwa Ibom State.
He noted that Eno’s defection would ensure seamless integration into the federal government’s developmental agenda under the Renewed Hope mantra of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Okpebholo assured Eno of his unwavering support and cooperation, stating that he looks forward to working closely with the Akwa Ibom Governor to promote good governance, economic prosperity, and the overall well-being of the Nigerian people.
“The decision by Governor Umo Eno to join the APC shows his foresight and dedication to the welfare of his people,” the statement read. “It signifies a strategic alignment that will undoubtedly unlock greater opportunities, foster stronger collaborations, and accelerate the delivery of democratic dividends to the good people of Akwa Ibom State.”
With Eno’s defection, the APC is expected to gain a significant foothold in the South South region, a development that is seen as a major boost to the party’s national ambitions. Governor Okpebholo’s warm welcome of Eno’s defection is a clear indication that the APC is poised to make significant inroads in the region, and analysts predict that this move could have far-reaching implications for the party’s fortunes in the region.
As the APC continues to consolidate its position in the South South region, Governor Okpebholo’s statement has sent a strong signal that the party is committed to working together to promote the interests of the Nigerian people. With Eno’s defection, the APC is well-placed to make a strong showing in the region, and Governor Okpebholo’s assurance of support and cooperation is a clear indication that the party is ready to work together to achieve its goals.
