Speaking at a mammoth crowd in Ukanafun/Oruk Anam federal constituency, Governor Eno likened the PDP to a “spoilt plane” that may not be able to take him to his political destination beyond 2027.

“If you wanted to travel with Ibom Airline, and on the verge of taking off, it developed a fault that won’t enable it to fly, won’t you board the next available plane to take you to your destination?” Governor Eno queried. This statement has sparked speculation about his potential defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
