Etim Etim writes that the People’s Democratic Party is almost dead in Akwa Ibom State since Governor Umo Eno and other relevant politicians and stakeholders in the state defected to the All Progressives Congress about two months ago.
Two People’s Democratic Party members from Akwa Ibom State – Onofiok Luke and Ini Ememobong – visited the party’s Acting National Chairman, Umar Damagun, in his office in Abuja penultimate Tuesday and the event grabbed a few headlines in the politics pages of some publications.
Damagum told the visitors that PDP would win the governorship and other elections in Akwa Ibom State. He said many ‘’credible’’ PDP stalwarts who did not defect with Governor Umo Eno are still very active in the party. PDP Youth Leader, Muhammed Suleiman and National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba were also present during the visit.
