Governor of Akwa Ibom state, Governor Eno has ordered the dismissal of Channels Television’s news correspondent and the cameraman from the state Government House over a trending defection video.
Recall that it was reported that Governor had finalized plans to join the APC ahead of the 2027 elections.
The video allegedly circulated by the Channels Television surfaced Friday where governor Eno was sighted ordering his cabinet members to either defect with him to the All Progressives Congress or resign from their positions.
In the clip, Governor Eno was heard saying, “It’s no longer news that I am moving party, if you don’t know, I don’t know what else you know. I am told that some of you are saying you will not come, you are free, absolutely free not to join me but you won’t be in my state cabinet.
“So be prepared to resign the day I announce I am moving because you are an appointee and your loyalty is to me. You can’t be in my cabinet and play anti-party. It’s not a threat, it’s what it is. I won’t beg you to come.”
A government house source who requested anonymity confirmed the development, despite the fact that Chris Moffat, the Channel Television reporter, could not be reached to comment on the matter.
The source revealed that governor Eno was furious over the video leak.
