PDP Governor Hints At Uncertain Political Future
By Benjamin Abioye
Governor Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom has admitted uncertainty about his political affiliation, saying he doesn’t know if he’ll remain with PDP or move to APC or YPP.
The Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Umo Eno, has stirred curiosity over his political future after making comments that hinted at a possible change of party.
While speaking during a thanksgiving service held in his honour at The Apostolic Church, Maboju Assembly in Lagos on Sunday, the governor said he was not certain where he might end up politically, but emphasized that his main goal was to serve the people of Akwa Ibom State.
“I don’t know where I’ll be tomorrow, whether PDP, APC, or YPP,” Governor Eno stated. He made it clear that political platforms are not what define his leadership or commitment to his people.
“These are just for political convenience and enlightened state interest. But it will never define who I am,” he added.
Although his statement raised questions about a possible defection, the governor quickly clarified that he is not planning to leave his current party. He said he will stay committed to his role and will continue to connect with all people, no matter their political background.
“I will remain a governor connected to the people, regardless of party. I will continue to unite all our parties, regardless of where God will take me to. That is not to say I am going anywhere,” he stressed.
During the service, Governor Eno also sang a line from a popular Christian hymn with the congregation, expressing his faith and the uncertainty of the future.
“Oh, the future lies before me, and I know not where I’ll be, but where’er my path be leading, Saviour, keep my heart with thee,” he sang.
He used this moment to encourage the people not to be afraid of political changes. He reminded them that politics is always shifting, and it’s important to understand the times, just like the biblical sons of Issachar who were known for their wisdom.
“There is no need to be scared. Those of you in politics know that there are no two elections that are the same. People must always understand,” the governor said.
He added, “We must clearly understand the time and seasons so that we do not swim against the tide.”
To end his message, Governor Eno advised everyone to stay spiritually alert and wise, saying, “He that has ears, let him hear what the spirit says to the church.”
