Sen. Ita Enang, a prominent member of the All Progressives Congress, has stated that the state will see more positive changes as a result of Akwa Ibom State Governor Umo Eno switching to the party.

According to Enang, a former Special Assistant to the President on National Assembly and Niger Delta Affairs, Akwa Ibom was brought closer to the centre by the governor’s decision.
“Akwa Ibom people will gain so much from the centre following the governor’s latest political alliance,” he said.
Enang further encouraged Akwa Ibom people to look back at gains recorded in the state between 1999 and 2015 when the state had connections with the centre.
“That connection is what the governor’s movement to APC has rekindled. Akwa Ibom people should expect more attention from the Federal Government.
“All our struggles since 2015 have been to achieve this connection, we cannot be in a minority party and expect major developmental projects,
“Today, the governor is in the same party with the president, it is a thing of joy to us, he has set the stage for growth and progress,” he added.

Enang gave the governor and everyone else who joined the APC his word that every agreement made with the party would be respected.
The governor and his supporters should be welcomed by the state’s APC members, he added, adding that the party is “more solid and resolved to ensure victory in 2027.”
