The Akwa Ibom State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has debunked the reports making the rounds that the Governor of the State, Udom Emmanuel, is planning to defect to the All Progressives Congress, APC, ahead of the 2023 general elections, .
Recall, that the Senior Special Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari, on Niger Delta Affairs, Senator Ita Enang, while speaking on Inspiration FM, in Uyo, the State capital, had claimed that Governor Emmanuel was making subtle moves to join the APC.
Reacting however, in an interview, the State Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Borono Bassey, said that he was not surprised at the rumours, adding that, the APC is always struggling to have a performing Governors like Governor Udom Emmanuel, in order to validate its failure.
His words: “The truth is that the Governor has said it over and over again, and as a part, we have made releases that the Governor is not going anywhere. I like to think that people just want to draw attention to themselves, because they know that people will be interested in hearing about this.”
