Defect With Me To APC Or Resign— Gov of Akwa Ibom state Tells Commissioners

‎
‎
‎The governor of Akwa Ibom State, Umo Eno, has directed all his commissioners and appointees to either defect with him to the All Progressives Congress (APC) or resign from their positions.
‎
‎Governor Eno gave the directive during the State Executive Council on Thursday, confirming what has been circulating as rumours of his defection that has been on social media for several weeks.
‎
‎”It’s no more news that I’m moving party, if you don’t know that by now, I don’t know what else you know,”
‎
‎He told the commissioners and appointees that they are not obligated to join him to the APC but can’t allow them to remain in his cabinet while in another party.
‎
‎”So, we want our commissioners and members of Excos, appointees; I am told that some of you are saying that you will not come, you are free, absolutely free not to join me, but you won’t be in my state executive council”
‎
‎”So, you better just be prepared to resign the day I announce that I’m moving because you are an appointee and your loyalty is to me. You can’t be in my cabinet and play anti party, it’s not a threat, it is what it is. I won’t beg you to come, you should normally not even expect it,”
