NAFOPA Hails Akwa Ibom Governor For Defecting To APC

The National Forum of Political Advisers (NAFOPA) has congratulated Akwa Ibom State Governor Umo Bassey Eno on his decision to join the All Progressives Congress (APC) from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).

The forum lauded Governor Eno’s move as a strategic step toward fostering unity and collaboration for the development of Akwa Ibom and the South-South zone.

In a statement signed by the president of NAFOPA, Chief Perry Opara, the forum emphasised the importance of Governor Eno working closely with Senate President Godswill Akpabio to attract federal presence and drive sustainable growth in the State.

Chief Opara, who also serves as Special Adviser (Political) and Head of the Political Bureau to Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State, described Governor Eno’s defection as a bold and visionary.

“Governor Umo Eno’s decision to join the APC demonstrates his commitment to placing the interests of Akwa Ibom State above partisan politics. His collaboration with Senator Akpabio will undoubtedly yield dividends for the state’s people,” Opara said.
