The PDP Advocates for Peace and Justice has faulted Akwa Ibom Governor Umo Eno’s claims of controlling all the political structures in Akwa Ibom State.

Governor Eno, elected under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, recently joined the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.

In a statement signed by the Chairman of the group, Dr. Tom FredFish, the body observed that “at a time when Akwa Ibom people earnestly expect responsive and impactful leadership, the governor has chosen to dissipate energy on needless political grandstanding rather than addressing the pressing socio-economic challenges facing citizens.

“It is a matter of public record that the entire political structure of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Akwa Ibom State was openly handed over to Governor Umo Eno by the Senate President, Chief Godswill Akpabio.

“This therefore begs the question: What other structure is the governor struggling for, and against whom? Such reckless posturing only underscores a lack of clarity, conviction, and direction in his political journey.

“Governor Eno’s defection to the APC has been nothing short of a grave miscalculation—bleak, unsustainable, and rooted in expediency rather than principle. His current struggles betray the reality of a man caught among strange allies who neither share his vision nor repose genuine trust in his leadership. The truth remains that the APC is not, and cannot be, his natural political home.

“We urge Governor Umo Eno to retrace his steps and return to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) while there is still room for redemption. Governance is not about endless political maneuvering; it is about selfless service, vision, and an unwavering commitment to the welfare of the people. Akwa Ibom deserves a leader who is focused, courageous, and people-centered—not one distracted by petty rivalries and internal squabbles.”
