The National Working Committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has welcomed the defection of Akwa Ibom Governor Umo Eno from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to APC.

Governor Eno cited the need to align Akwa Ibom with the federal government as a key reason for his move.

APC’s national publicity secretary, Felix Morka, expressed confidence that this decision will advance the state’s progress and assured the governor of full cooperation and inclusion within the party.

The APC emphasized its commitment to achieving President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda for Nigeria’s development.
