Akpabio receives Governor Eno after defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Senate President Godswill Akpabio and his wife, Dr Unoma Godswill Akpabio, received Governor Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom State at their residence in Uyo following the Governor’s formal move to the APC on June 6, 2025.
Also present were members of the Progressive Governors’ Forum led by Imo State Governor, Senator Hope Uzodinma, as well as some Senators from the ruling party.
Governor Eno’s visit came shortly after he announced his defection from the PDP, a move he described as a “progressive step forward” aimed at aligning Akwa Ibom with the Federal Government for sustained development.
The warm reception by Senator Akpabio, a key political figure in the state and the ruling party, signals strong support for Eno’s realignment with national leadership.
The gathering in Uyo marks a significant political shift and reflects ongoing changes in the political landscape of Akwa Ibom State.
