The Akwa Ibom Governor, Pastor Umo Eno has disclosed that some Peoples Democratic Party, PDP moles, cloaked in the garb of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, at the centre, were fighting to usurp his political structure to truncate his reelection in 2027.
Governor Eno described most of his appointees who defected with him to the APC on June 6, 2025, as ‘wolfs in sheep clothing’, warning that their betrayal antics would be nipped in the bud at the appropriate time.
“You fight structure, fight structure, what are going to do with my structure ,” he queried, recalling that successive governors had passed through the same political racketeering by mischief makers, but warned that he would not tolerate such from his supposed loyalists.
Although he had earlier said, “I don’t have power like Wike. (the FCT minister) to fight for structure,” the apparently agitated governor said he would personally test the loyalty of his appointees by taking inventory of authentic loyalists who truly defected with him to the APC through their membership cards in various wards.
Governor Eno, made this known at a special inter-denominational thanksgiving service at the weekend to mark the 38th anniversary of the State’s creation at the International Christian Worship Centre, ICWC, Udoudoma Avenue, Uyo, the state capital.
