I consulted for 6 months before dumping PDP for APC – Gov Eno

 Governor Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom State, on Tuesday disclosed
that he consulted for six months before dumping the Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP, for the All Progressives Congress, APC.

In an interview with Channels Television, the governor said
his state can’t be in the opposition after producing the Senate President,
Godswill Akpabio.

He said: “I consulted for six months before moving, I didn’t
just wake up and decided to move. We have stayed in the opposition for so many
years.

“There are enormous benefits to align with the centre. First
of all, we have a Senate President in this country who is from here and we have
to give him the support to be able to help.

“We can’t have the Senate President in another party and we
are here in the opposition, you know how politics plays out here, it will keep
weeping up sentiments.”

The new APC member said he believes in the policies of
President Bola Tinubu.

He said Tinubu is making much efforts towards repositioning
the economy, which was in a bad shape when he assumed office.

“Two, I believe in the programme of Tinubu – this economy
was battered and we were really low by the time he took over power.

“We have seen the efforts he is making, the reforms he is
making and he should have our support.

“States governments, I speak for Akwa Ibom have benefitted
from those reforms and is why we are able to have the funds to do what we are
doing.

“If somebody is doing well, you say he is doing well and if
he is not doing well we say he is not doing well.

“If I can see him and discuss our issues and he listens to
our issues and helps us where he can, why should I work against the President?”
