Recent comments credited to Akwa Ibom State Governor, Umo Eno, that he would have preferred to remain in the Peoples Democratic Party suggests that undue pressure is being mounted on him to defect to the ruling All Progressives Congress, Davidson Iriekpen writes
Recent lamentations by the Akwa Ibom State Governor, Pastor Umo Eno, suggests that he is under immense pressure to defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC), contrary to the impression by the Presidency that the defections of politicians from the Peoples Democratic Party (APC) to the APC were of their free will and not coercion.
The Presidency through the Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Mr. Bayo Onanuga, and the APC had consistently denied accusations of foisting a one-party state by President Bola Tinubu, insisting that democracy is not under threat or undermined “simply because politicians exercise their rights of association.”
